Few Racers have no phasing while in race. | CW Scripts | Page 1

olive elm Jun 30, 2024, 11:43 PM

#

There are no error and while debug is on it shows GHOSTED and then DE GHOSTED when I get within the distance set in the config for "Config.Ghosting.NearestDistanceLimit"

Can't make it 0 for obvious reasons but is only "fix" at the moment, but it seems the racers are not registered as racers even though they are in the race and joined the race while in a car.

Tried mostly everything so far but can't say for sure what the issue might be, I did make changes to the original script but I test with default script and still does the same. The only changes I made were for the checkpoint props and the DoPilePfx and added a phone notification for relevant notifications to come "FROM THE PM" to make it a little better to know exactly the amount of GNE received etc.

I made no changes to ghosting, tried giving the players a new alias with the admin tool and made them purchase a new one with a new name but no change has happened.

Is there an idea as to why this would happen? Maybe alias length? Maybe Race length? amount of checkpoints? have only 1 race with 60 checkpoints and the rest are between 30 and 50 checkpoints

The prints I am getting and the player was ID 3 at the time

The player side was not finding me??

So far can tell that there are 2 racers this happens with and no one can phase through them at the time

olive elm Jul 1, 2024, 12:39 AM

Starting ghost loop. All player:    { [1] = 121,[2] = 122,[3] = 123,[4] = 124,[5] = 125,[6] = 126,[7] = 127,[8] = 128,}

Not sure if that's needed for debugging purposes

strange blade Jul 3, 2024, 6:48 PM

#

Are there players that are not in the race close to the race? Or in the vehicles of other racers?

strange blade Jul 3, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

olive elm ```lua DE GHOSTED Timer is off ^3playeridx 3 126 target 205570 comparin...

And for the not finding part:
It quits out as soon as it detects a player that's not in the race close by

#

So in that example, a non-race player is 2.48 meters away from them

#

It still de-ghosts if there's a passenger in a race car that's not in the race.
The ghosting check is already a bit intensive so I don't wanna bog it down to much with more logic, so the only way I can think of to make that work would be to skip checks on players who aren't driving.

You'd still ghost rhough a parked car with a passenger tho

olive elm Jul 4, 2024, 2:50 AM

#

strange blade Are there players that are not in the race close to the race? Or in the vehicles...

Everyone in the are is a racer and in their vehicles

olive elm Jul 4, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

strange blade And for the not finding part: It quits out as soon as it detects a player that's...

So the way I tested was to only have that racer in the race that we have the issue with and I decreased the detection distance of "non racers" so as soon as I get close to that racer that's in the race, it de ghosts me but for the other racer, doesn't even show that I am in the area for them

#

I'm not sure how I can explain it ..

#

Player 1 and player 2 and player 3 in the race.

Player 1 and player 3 ghost perfectly fine, as soon as player 1 and 3 get close to 2, they get de ghosted

#

Tried using all local cars, spawned in by admin, tried bought local cars with no customizations .. tried new aliases for the racer .. but still de ghosts

strange blade Jul 4, 2024, 9:12 AM

#

It only checks players.

According to your logs the players it checked against weren't in the race 🤔

strange blade Jul 4, 2024, 11:48 AM

#

I pushed an update to the phasing yesterday, you might wanna test it

olive elm Jul 4, 2024, 1:57 PM

#

Will take a look

olive elm Jul 6, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

Tested it and well doesn't seem to be working, there are many racers in the race at the moment so I can't be too sure as to which racer might be the issue

strange blade Jul 6, 2024, 11:07 PM

#

Did you update the config also? SkipPedestrians being set to true like the new version?

olive elm Aug 2, 2024, 10:37 PM

#

yes I did sorry for late reply .. Wondering if its a OneSync Error? I was using Legacy but switched to Infinity recently. Would that be the reason?

strange blade Aug 2, 2024, 10:39 PM

#

Could be

#

Doubt it's onesync tho

#

But if it's an issue with statebags maybe, then you could try removing all inSameRace checks in playerIswithinDistance function

#

It works fine for me so I can't test this

#

Could you describe exactly what is happening when you say that it does not work?

How many are in the race?
Are there other non racers close by?
Are there non racers in the cars?
Are there others on the server?
Are other races being run at the same time?
Does phasing work when there's less racers in the race?
Does phasing work any time?

Also kinda need logs, and a description of the exact scenario that happens when the logs are taken (or a video) to have anything to even guess what could be causing it.

#

it COULD be that statebags are just trash and the approach needs a rework

strange blade Aug 3, 2024, 12:10 PM

#

@olive elm could you try this code, see if it fixes it?

#

It's only the client and server files so should be easy to test out

#

I've moved the statebag sets to server side

strange blade Aug 3, 2024, 12:44 PM

#

Even better fixed:

📎 cw-racingapp.zip

olive elm Aug 3, 2024, 7:11 PM

#

strange blade Could you describe exactly what is happening when you say that it does not work?...

I do appreciate you taking your time to understand the issue I am having.

So 5-6 racers in a race. It's always the same 2 racers when getting close to that the collision goes off.
No non-racers in any of the racing.
There are other players in the server but at the time when we tested the racing with the distance check set at 20 to disable the ghost all players that were in the server, were racing.
So I jiust made distance check to 0 and well now its a constant ghosting and the cop chases are getting a bit tedious

The phasing works perfectly for all but 2 racers. When getting close to the 2 racers, it disables for some reason. Only found it with the 2 racers. Other racers still have their phasing enabled when they close to each other

#

Will test this shortly

olive elm Aug 4, 2024, 11:51 AM

#

Also not sure if you want to take a look at this

local function markWithUglyWaypoint()
    if UseUglyWaypoint then
        StartGpsMultiRoute(49, true, false)

        if CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint == #CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints then
            AddPointToGpsRoute(CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint].coords.x, CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint].coords.y, CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint].offset)
            SetGpsMultiRouteRender(true, 16, 16)
        elseif CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 1 <= #CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints then
            AddPointToGpsRoute(CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 1].coords.x, CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 1].coords.y, CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 1].offset)
            if CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 2 <= #CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints then
                AddPointToGpsRoute(CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 2].coords.x, CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 2].coords.y, CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 2].offset)
            end
            if CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 3 <= #CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints then
                AddPointToGpsRoute(CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 3].coords.x, CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 3].coords.y, CurrentRaceData.Checkpoints[CurrentRaceData.CurrentCheckpoint + 3].offset)
            end
            SetGpsMultiRouteRender(true, 16, 16)
        end
    end
end

The GPS from nopixel racing always facinated me, so I tried to do something similar with the help from ChatGPT.

So the waypoints are made through every 3 checkpoints until getting to the last or 2nd last checkpoint of the race.

#

it works perfectly with some races but with other waypoint placements, it doesn't work out well at all for that 2 - 3 checkpoints. Wondering if there is a better way of doing it or do I have to edit the checkpoints themselves. Probably will have to place checkpopints better for the races

#

That's how it looks

strange blade Aug 4, 2024, 12:45 PM

#

olive elm it works perfectly with some races but with other waypoint placements, it doesn'...

I think it's most likely due to how GTA handles the gps

#

If it can't path from A->B in a legal manner it fucks up

#

Same issue with the track drawing thing

#

Putting the checkpoints in the correct lane tend's to "fix" it

strange blade Aug 5, 2024, 2:57 PM

#

Any luck with the phasing? @olive elm

olive elm Aug 5, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

Unfortunately, got messages last night from the people that did the racing and they said there was no phasing for 2/3rds of the racers didn't have phasing

olive elm Aug 5, 2024, 3:14 PM

#

strange blade Any luck with the phasing? <@906215776204251156>

The message I received from the player

also weird one but I also come across people complaining I had phasing some times but the rest

So I was on has law enforcement and saw all the racers had phasing as their cars were translucent at a distance but when got close the phasing went off (as it should, I made the distance check to 20 gta units). But for them, only 1 of the racers had phasing and the other 3 did not have phasing at all

strange blade Aug 5, 2024, 3:18 PM

#

Man I'm about to just give up on this shit LuL

#

So it didn't work at any time for the racers?

If you get close and they get de-phased they'd still be able to bump each other

olive elm Aug 5, 2024, 3:28 PM

#

So I wasn't close by the time they couldn't phase through each other .. but when I (non racer) was close, I saw the phasing disable. So I'm not 100% sure, but by the way they saying it is coming out as, from the start of the race, those 3 racers couldn't phase through anyone, but the one racer could phase through all 3 of them.

#

and it was only the 4 of them in the area at the time and no spectators

strange blade Aug 5, 2024, 3:33 PM

#

Hmm

#

maybe it's SetLocalPlayerAsGhost that's just not syncing correctly

#

If you could run the script with debug on and provide logs that'd be amazing

#

the logs should say why the de-ghosting happens

olive elm Aug 5, 2024, 5:13 PM

#

will be client correct?

#

Oraginising a race now, people might only start racing in about 45 minutes .. should send you the logs of all racers by the end of the night

strange blade Aug 5, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

Yeah client

strange blade Aug 5, 2024, 5:34 PM

#

I also tried a rework using SetEntityNoCollisionEntity instead.

Only gotta replace the client/main.lua for this

📎 main.lua

#

if you can please try that also

#

Do note: the ghost look wont show with this method. Also there's some funky camera going on when ghosting inside each other LuL

this ^

It won't have much logs at all tho cause it won't ever de-phase a player. It just phases racers against each other but not against anything else

#

so everyone in the race now is angry at me for asking them again xDDD

nearest distance limit shouldn't make a difference with new method

olive elm Aug 6, 2024, 8:45 PM

This the new phasing?

local function validateTime()
if CurrentRaceData.Ghosting and CurrentRaceData.GhostingTime then
return actuallyValidateTime(CurrentRaceData.GhostingTime)
else
debugLog('Ghosting | Defaulting time validation. Ghosting:', CurrentRaceData.Ghosting, 'Ghosting Time:', CurrentRaceData.GhostingTime )
return actuallyValidateTime(0)
end
end

end

#

That the new?

strange blade Aug 6, 2024, 8:46 PM

#

No that's the time validation. If a time is set it de-ghosts everyone after that

#

new ghosting method is in ghostThread()

olive elm Aug 6, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

trying to see what debug message I should look out got

strange blade Aug 6, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

It has none, cept for the de-ghosting when finishing

#

I can't debug log in the new one cause it has to run EVERY tick LuL

#

I'd flod the console with 60+ messages per second

#

I don't need the logs for the new method. Just a verification if it works with multiple people

#

I've only tested it with 2

olive elm Aug 6, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

Ah I see

#

Testing now

strange blade Aug 6, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

The new method just disables collision on a client level between the player and all other racers.
It won't disable collisions between racers when a cop gets close for example. But cop should still be able to ram em

olive elm Aug 6, 2024, 9:04 PM

#

It works 100%

#

jsut the camera was aids

strange blade Aug 6, 2024, 9:05 PM

Hey guys sorry for reopening this thread after a year but i was wondering if is there a fix for the camera being affected by the "collision" when racers are phased.

I tried and with ghosting enabled when racers go through each other the camera is just a complete mess and we see the other racers colliding even if they do not collide (if that makes sense). @olive elm

@strange blade any suggestions? I find that if I am only with another racers it works perfectly but as soon as there are 3+ racers tha camera bugs out when you got through other racers

No idea

#

It might be that it has to remove collisions for the player entity also, not just the vehicle

#Few Racers have no phasing while in race.
