ServerExample 1: This example creates a radar blip at a random player's position and makes it so that it is only visible to that player.
-- Pick a random player local myPlayer = getRandomPlayer( ) -- Retrieve the player's position and store it in the variables x, y and z local x, y, z = getElementPosition( myPlayer ) -- Create a radar blip at the player's position, with a 'cash' icon and only visible to the player local myBlip = createBlip( x, y, z, 51, 0, 0, 0, 255, myPlayer )
Example 2: This example attaches a blip to a player. You can attach a blip to an element by just setting the blip's parent to that element.
-- Pick a random player local myPlayer = getRandomPlayer( ) -- Create a radar blip in the middle of the map local myBlip = createBlip( 0, 0, 0 ) -- Make the player the parent of the blip, so that the blip follows the player around setElementParent( myBlip, myPlayer )
