Hello. I am using SetPlayerCheckpoint on some Dynamic Object's surface. When I go ingame to see that checkpoint, he is displayed down at the default GTA's surface, but everything else works as normal. Is it possible to show that checkpoint on the Dynamic Object's surface?
I tried using Dynamic CPs thinking that ut would solve the issue, but IG that dynamic CPs and "static" ones work on the same principle.

Did you use the correct 'z' coordinate?

Did you use the correct 'z' coordinate?
Yes. When player enters designated CP's coords, OnPlayerEnterCheckpoint is being called.
To sum everything up, everything is working fine expect that visually CP is not on right position.

No I mean did you use the correct position when creating the CP. Lower the 'z' coordinate.

I think the game just drops the checkpoint to ground level no matter what. The Z coord only seems relevant for the map marker (square, or triangle pointing up or down) and the aerial checkpoint type.
I've also noticed some instances of this in single player, where it appears that the checkpoint is created somewhat higher up. When the environment loads the checkpoint jumps down to ground level.

There's no need for me to lower 'z' coordinate. The checkpoint is well-placed, but on dynamic object's surface as i mentioned before. But, below that dynamic object is static object from GTA SA, where the actual checkpoint IS JUST displaying(showing ingame, red marker), not functioning or anything like that.

So that problem is client-sided? Should I be posting it to open mp issue's list on github?

isn't the issue that this checkpoint is rendered before streamer creates that surface for you?
you can try increasing stream distance of surface objects or use dynamic cp with stream distance lower than surface object
or if you want to stick to SetPlayerCheckpoint then maybe some dynamic area around surface and set checkpoint when player enters the area, but that's overcomplicating i guess
not sure if it fixes anything tho

Personally I think it's an issue with the game itself, not the client. Rockstar never intended for checkpoints to be created on script objects so this behaviour is simply not coded into the game. The game most likely has some built-in functionality to find the nearest solid ground - attesting to the existence of SCM opcode such as 02CE - which is probably also used internally (by the .exe) to move the checkpoint to the right position

afaik it's fixed in 0.3.7-r3 and newer versions
