Function

createSearchLight

ServerLightsIdentical to MTA:SA

Creates a searchlight beam: a real Unreal spot light shining from a start point to an end point, like a police helicopter searchlight or stadium lights. The cone width comes from the end radius and the distance; brightness adjusts itself to the beam length. Everyone in the same interior and dimension sees it.

Syntax

element createSearchLight(float startX, float startY, float startZ, float endX, float endY, float endZ [, float startRadius = 1, float endRadius = 10, bool renderSpline = true])

Arguments

startXfloat: Source X.
startYfloat: Source Y.
startZfloat: Source Z.
endXfloat: X of the lit spot.
endYfloat: Spot Y.
endZfloat: Spot Z.
startRadiusfloat, optional = 1: Beam radius at the source (m).
endRadiusfloat, optional = 10: Radius of the light spot at the end (m).
renderSplinebool, optional = true: For compatibility with existing scripts.

Returns

A searchlight element, or false.

Example

local light = createSearchLight(2495, -1680, 40, 2495, -1665, 13, 1, 6)
setTimer(function()
    local player = getRandomPlayer()
    if player then
        local x, y, z = getElementPosition(player)
        setSearchLightEndPosition(light, x, y, z)
    end
