This function creates a new global radar blip, which is visible for everyone. It will return a pointer to the blip or null if creating the blip was unsuccessful.

Syntax

CreateBlip can take 2 different lists of parameters. These are:

Blip CreateBlip( int sprite, Vector pos, int colour )

Blip CreateBlip( int sprite, float x, float y, float z, int colour )

Arguments

• sprite - This is the sprite (icon) of the blip. For reference, check here
• pos - The position of the blip on radar
• colour - The colour ID for the blip. These values can be customised in content.xml of the server
• x, y, z - The position of the blip as floats

Example

 
function onPlayerCommand( pPlayer, szCommand, szText )
{
	if ( szCommand == "createblip" )
	{
		CreateBlip( 0, pPlayer.Pos, 0 );
	}
}
