Sprites would go in a folder in the server directory (store/sprites/), which are automatically sent to the client. The server can then create sprites in a manner similar to this:

Code: [Select]

local sprite = CreateSprite("mySprite.png");
sprite.ShowForPlayer(FindPlayer("Stormeus"));
sprite.ShowForAllPlayers();
sprite.Destroy();

Sprites can be rotated:

Code: [Select]

sprite.RotationCenter = Vector2D(64, 64);
sprite.Rotation = 120.5;

And sprites can have alpha set:

Code: [Select]

sprite.Alpha = 127;

However, sprites are controlled server-side like everything else, so this limits what the server can do. It would be impractical, for example, to have arbitrary animations for sprites because that would affect server resources. We also cannot detect players' screen widths, so while we can have a special value to center elements (like 65535), we cannot maintain complete control over positioning.

Those are custom weapons, with an offset.
This means you can give them to anyone in the server

[Machete]

CERTAINDEATH plz.

[sseebbyy]

CERTAINDEATH plz.

hehehe, I remember that
Btw, I'm thinking about how many things you can do with it... like adding boxing gloves + boxing as fight style


Now some question for develoipers/0.4 scripters:
1. If you set the custom weapon to be like the fist, can you stop the ped from fighting ? Like ... the beer from SA:MP: when you press FIRE button, the "drinking" anim is applied, so there will be no fight, even if you are near+watching at another player.
2. You can set custom weapons to act like db weapons ?
3. Exists there any callback/event like "onPlayerShootPlayer" ?
4. What about "extra" parts of a vehicle ? Can them be set, or its just too hardcorded ?
Examples of extra parts of a vehicle: the roof of stallion, the flatbed's cargo etc.

1. You aren't setting animations like you would normally do. Custom weapons are made so brilliantly, you can fight with them the way you fight with normal weapons.
The Christmas hat was made as a fist weapon, so when you press the fire button your ped starts punching the way the normal fist would do. You can kill someone exactly the same way as a normal fist.
The same applies for other weapons. We have custom sniper rifles, an AK-47, a spear and many more funky weapons on our testing server. All very deadly, the possibilities are endless
2. db as in drive-by? In that case, I see no reason why not. You can set the class of a custom weapon, so if you set it to something that works as drive-by weapon it would work for your custom weapon as well. I have not tried this though, don't shoot me if I'm wrong
3. Not yet, or not that I know of.
4. There is a Vehicle.SetPart( int partID, int damageStatus ), but I doubt that will do anything to extra parts that can be added. So I guess the answer is no
