CLEO Release imrpGiftBox

[monday]

Mod which puts the marker on the minimap around the area of the gift box and displays time (in seconds) remaining to open another gift box due to 7 min limit (5 min for premium users). In combination with the separate objectFinder (for the streamed objects) it is quite reliable, on its own it isn't precise enough because of its working mechanism which is described below.

Controls:
Activation of the measurement process - numpad * button
Cancellation of the measurement (if the player can't get through the obstacle) - numpad / button
Cooldown time toggle - /gbc command

Tested with:
-Cleo 4.1
-Samp 0.3.7
-Sampfuncs 5.3.1

Working mechanism:
Currently (2017) on IMRP server there's a "/giftbox" command which allows the user to see the exact distance (rounded to the nearest whole number) to the nearest gift box. Using it 4 times at 4 different positions it is possible to calculate the estimated position of that gift box. The mod sends "/giftbox" commands and parses the distance from the response while moving the dude around square-like shape. The precision of that position is limited by the distance covered during the measurement process and also by the fact that it does not take into account the 3d distance including altitude, the mod is only concerned about the 2d measurements (east-west, north-south).

imrp is shit but however you are doing quality stuff. interesting method, how did you discovered that?

 

[opce]

thanks, but objectfinder is better before, im finded all gift's but thanks. ;]

nice mod, whats song name ?

@Ezel
I used the command manually to check whether I'm getting closer to the gifts and realized it would be more effective if automatic calculation did it instead

If I understand well, at 4 different positions you kind of draw a circle, and the place where the 4 circles cross means there is likely the gift near that place ? (See the image explaining what I said, paint FTW)

 

[monday]

it's more simple, it measures 2 separate lengths independently (horizontal and vertical). The circular movement is just to gather the data from 4 positions as quick as possible. So here's what it does:
x_giftbox = x_player + (distance / x_distance_covered_during_measurement * (east_distance - west_distance))
y_giftbox = y_player + (distance / y_distance_covered_during_measurement * (south_distance - north_distance))

If the player is standing at X=1000 Y=0 and the giftbox is at X=3000 Y=0 then the equations above would look something like this:
3000 = 1000 + (2000 / 20 * (2020 - 2000))
0 = 0 + (2010 / 20 * (2010 - 2010))

You are a Genius :motherofgod:

mom I made it;d
Btw the concept itself is much more simple than it seems by the written formula

As opcodexe said, this is genius. Well made.
