Nice bump; this thread hasn't been replied to in months.

SetVehiclePos(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid),X,Y,Z,Angle);
SetVehiclePos(SetVehiclePos(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid),X,Y,Z,Angle);

He said SetVehiclePos doesn't work, so this code wouldn't work anyways.

I agree with Skirmant. And to play the role of the critical asshole a little bit, the tutorial doesn't explain what OnPlayerCommandText is or what it does. It doesn't explain what the code being typed does, and it doesn't explain how it all comes together. For a beginner tutorial, you should try starting out with something like a small introduction to what programming is and getting into the real basics, like what variables and constants are and how to use them.

Quite an odd error. You might be trying to use an unimplemented function (function that wasn't actually made), or the gamemode isn't in the gamemodes folder. My crystal ball also tells me you could be missing #include <dini>, but that's a wild guess.

Like an insane stunt bonus? I don't think that can be done with scripts.

Ok....I want..Let me...Thanks

So you're going to script it yourself?

what is difference bween pawno and squirrel and aso tell me how to publish server that shows on internet

1. Pawn is made for Pawn servers. Squirrel is made for Squirrel servers. If you downloaded a server from the home page, you have a Pawn server.
2. http://forum.vicecitymultiplayer.com/index.php?topic=2389.0

You might've been banned from the server if you're getting kicked automatically. Try contacting one of the admins from the server.

Be more specific. Pawn or mIRC? Do you want the lottery system to be one where you buy a ticket and a ticket is randomly selected? How often do you want the lottery to run?

And now to bump a four-month-old topic (which is already stickied), I'm starting an overhaul on the wiki. I'm hoping to document most of the undocumented functions on Boss's wiki, and making the articles a little more readable. If anyone wants to help out, make a wiki account and send me a PM. (Or do what you want )

EDIT: a_vcmp.inc > Util completely documented.
EDIT: time.inc completely documented.

I see the first topic got locked. Anyways, rulk, I'm glad to see you appreciate the amount of work I put into the script and the comments. I like to comment my code so that if I ever release a snippet or gamemode, other people can use it as a reference to learn from. Like you said, it might not be the speediest, but I'll learn with time, so once again, thanks!

If you want to learn Squirrel or mIRC, VRocker's wiki is a great reference for learning both of them and is well documented.
http://liberty-unleashed.co.uk/VCWiki/Main_Page VRocker's Wiki

Or if you want to learn Pawn, you can use either the official VCMP wiki or the SAMP wiki (for learning about Pawn in general ONLY).

You can't exactly set a world boundary. However, you could restrict them to one area of the map. For example, if PlayerInfo[playerid][Restricted] is set to 1 and the user's area is outside of a set box, teleport them back into that box.

This command (/c topoverall) was written for a help topic and is being moved to the Pawn showroom for anyone looking for it in the future. This command will get the three best players according to kill/death ratio.

Warning
As more people play on your server, this command will become more resource intensive.

Note
This command was made based off of a GUPS script. It likely will not work on a blank gamemode and the instructions might not be the same.

phPSA is a project I started due to the inactivity of PSA (the Pawn Supporting Application) and its incompatibility with Linux servers. For guaranteed cross-compatibility and to let you guys look at the source easily, phPSA is written in PHP. Since this is a new project, a few bugs are expected here and there and it may not be as efficient as you'd like it to be, so please, post constructive feedback.

PHP Pawn Supporting Application
phPSA is an external application, extending Pawn's functionality. It communicates with Pawn through text files, allowing PSA to perform a variety of actions normally unavaliable in Pawn. You can think of PSA as a plugin, only external.

Currently phPSA only supports SQL data storage. IRC echo support will be implemented at a later time.

Download
The current phPSA version is Revision 1. You can download it using any of the following links:

• Windows installer (includes PHP)
  
  
  • Mediafire
  • Hunting Arena (courtesy of StriKe)
  
  
• Linux .tar (does not include PHP)
  
  
  • Mediafire
  • Hunting Arena (courtesy of StriKe)

The archive includes:

readme.htm	Help and tutorial file
phpsa.php	phPSA script. This is an executable AND the source code.
phpsa.cfg	phPSA Configuration

Installation

• Put the appropriate functions in your script. These functions are written below.

  Quote
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  new gColumns[24][128]...	Variables used for reading rows from SELECT queries.
  PSAtimer()	PSA timer function. Processes activity between phPSA and your gamemode.
  SetTimer("PSAtimer", 200, 1)	Activates the phPSA timer function every 200ms repeatedly.
  PerformSQLquery(str[])	Performs a regular SQL query.
  OnQueryResult(qid[], str[], index)	Called whenever any query is done. Returns the number of rows affected OR 1 on a SELECT query. If the query is a SELECT query, the column names are stored in gColumns and the values in gValues.

• Put phpsa.php and phpsa.cfg in your server's root dir (where vcmp-svr is).
• Edit phpsa.cfg with your MySQL settings
• Launch phpsa.php using the PHP runtime.

phPSA REQUIRES PHP to work.

• PHP 5.3.6 Linux download
• PHP is included in the Windows download.

Ubuntu/Debian users can use this command to install PHP:
sudo apt-get install php5

Function Code
