Blinker for SA...

Recommended Posts

umm, no. :google: it first.

They weren't even referred to as such during production. Even Kevin Pike's original notes on converting them called them vents.

According to Wiki, a louver is the thing that covered the back window, the slatted thing, kinda like shutters on a house.

I was only concerned about blinkers for the fact of the hazard lights being used in BTTF so maybe we could at least have this feature coded into particular missions...

EDIT: I also like the idea because I like a more life-like game experience, although you can't code the police to stop you, like you said SaiyanPrideFilms...

the reason it is not coded in is because....if one car has it, the 100+ other cars need it too, and to specify 3 lines each for front and back signals (left and right are mirrored), it requires 600 lines of code, which takes 10 bytes each, so thats 6000 bytes of code added, just for defining where they are (2 byte opcode, 4 byte variable, 4 byte number). Thats 6,000 taken out of 225,512 bytes total, and it was that, plus the tedious work of finding where the blinkers on each car, that it was never pursued. This does not include the actual creation of the corona and work to make it non lagging and also mirror each one, and the code to activate them, plus the code to make them blink.

@Blue: I understand that, its why I never pressed the issue.

@Grim: It would be nice to make it a mission specific feature, but the way Blue is talking, its just a waste so I guess not...

umm, I meant in general.

It'll be there for missions. As long as there isn't horrible clipping with the coils.

The blinker mod iMaster posted does it different. It does memory hacking (to find the dummy of the backlight?) with the more advanced memory hacking opcodes get car struct and call method.

And that's less than 50 lines.
