Creating blips for Entities and Vector3 programmatically

[Commander2706 1]

Hi dear fellow modders!

Has anyone found out yet, how to create a blip for an entity or on a Vector3 (RagePluginHook)?

I found the hashes for the sprites in the ScriptHookRDRDotNet_API:

public enum BlipSprite : uint
	{
		Dominoes = 0x9D9FE583,
		DominoesAllFives = 0xFD189BDE,
		DominosAllThrees = 0xA1C2EBE4,
		FiveFingerFillet = 0x75B54B90,
		FiveFingerFilletGuts = 0x7869CF4,
		FiveFingerFilletBurnout = 0x3C88E424,
		Poker = 0x4A2357A9,
		SaddleBag = 0xB0E5E617,
		Doctor = 0x984E7CA9,
		EatingUtensils = 0x37BEBE4E,
		DonateToCamp = 0x8B7E38C4,
		ObjectiveChore = 0xDDFBA6AB,
		Ammunition = 0x5DF6DEBD,
		HealthSupplies = 0xD68D851B,
		Provisions = 0x919BC110,
		SmallBlackDot = 0x4ECB0761,
		Wheel = 0x3C5469D5,
		Stranger = 0x935EE440,
		Drinking = 0x4A0E7F51,
		HuntingGrounds = 0x1DCFAA8C,
		Fishing = 0xA216510E,
		MoneyWheel = 0xD4859AFE,
		Bank = 0x25249A47,
		Herd = 0x193BD50E,
		CaravanCamp = 0xA0417C98,
		HomeRobbery = 0x1A7A040D
	}

 

In the NativeDB under MAP there is also the native function for setting the Blip's sprite, but I'm not sure how to call it in my project:

 

void SET_BLIP_SPRITE( Blip blip, Hash hash, BOOL p2 )  //0x74F74D3207ED525C

I want to achieve having a permanent blip on a Ped and a temporary Blip on a location, that get's deleted once you're there; mainly like the GPS routes for missions.

 

If anyone knows something and feels like sharing it, I would very much appreciate it 🙂

You should be able to create new Blips using the Blip class. It supports an entity or position overload. If you want to change its sprite. you can use the native you already found and use blip.Handle for the first parameter.

Thanks, I will give it a try! 🙂

It worked! Thank you very much!

So that's basically the code:

Blip _foreWorkerBlip = new Blip(_foreWorker);
var _handle = _foreWorkerBlip.Handle;
var _nativeHandle = new NativeArgument(_handle);
Game.CallNative("SET_BLIP_SPRITE", _nativeHandle, _blipHash, true);

Does  anyone know what the blip hash is for the Stables icon?
