How do you get actors to respawn where you first place them? They seem to respawn about 100 yards outside of the walls of an arena I created.

Capture issues

I made my first capture recently for Lan's XDBX Tour of Los Santos event and found a few issues. So I just wanted to ask if this happens to others and can anything can be done. the description is meant to 500 characters but I could not use more than 100, this made is very difficult to explain what I wanted to a non-capture vehicle appears to be a capture vehicle on the map, this was a GTA I've seen this before in published captures, so I assume it's known bug RS hasn't fixed One of the capture vehicles appear to spawn on top of another one. I assume one had somehow destroyed itself and the other spawned before the first disappeared. T…

Attention Creators

Need some help from those of you with created PS3 jobs. I have been slowly digging through this mess and adding all the missing tags. While going through these PS3 jobs I am finding several of them with bad/wrong RSC links for them. Some of them are also deleted. If you could check your threads it would save me lots of extra time. That would keep me from having to keep track of them and ask you to fix them one at a time. It does seem that most of the issues involve the older jobs on the last few pages. Of course this isn't a super pressing issue but it bugs me and my need for organization, lol. Thanks for any cooperation in this matter.

10 Simple Races with Stock Cars

I'm putting together a small playlist designed for use with members of the crew or friends who may not be experienced with racing on GTA. I don't want anything technical or too long, they'll need to be nice short simple races ideally set to a single make stock car so no one has an advantage with customs or car knowledge. These races can also be used to help unlock race wins for those people who are bored with driving around criminal records again and again and again zzzzzzz What do you guys recommend?

Skewed Start Points
by G37- 2 followers
- 7 replies
- 1.4k views
So this seems to be a reoccurring issue. In many custom created jobs, specifically TDMs, start points are not what they're supposed to be. In fact it seems to utilize random spawns just like it would a normal death match. This got me thinking, it's been like this a while and I wonder if it has anything to do with the fix of spawn points on Cps in races (you can adjust the direction again, before it was bugged). It also has me wondering if all previously created jobs (on or before that issue perhaps) are affected. A number of jobs, mine included have been affected by this. However new ones, as far as I can tell anyway, don't seem to be. Any thoughts? I haven't had …

LTS creation help needed
by MrBump360- 7 replies
- 1.6k views
Hi Guys and Gals, so I'm trying to create an LTS. I have used stacking to create a flying structure, now I want to place vehicles for the teams to use and it is telling me that I can't because of stacking? Is there a simple way around this? I'm trying to place start points in the air above my play area, the idea is that each team gets a platform, each player get's into a car on that platform and then drops off the into the play area to launch the LTS proper. I am using the large buoy platform, is that the reason, do I need to use something else? thanks for any help, advice. Also thanks if you just point me at the thread where this has been discussed a million times b…

I've checked the weather forecast and it seems that snow is heading for Los Santos. This is the perfect time for some dedicated snow jobs for our playlists. I've just updated a race I made for the snow last year plus I've just made a melee only deathmatch to be used as a snowball fight. Does anyone have any other jobs that will be good in the snow, you can even make one if you have the time!

The Ultimate Destruction Derby?
by Squirrel- 2 followers
- 9 replies
- 1.4k views
The destruction derbies we host are fun but everyone we make is flawed in one way or another, either lack of voice communication, difficulties when deciding a winner or people eliminated early having nothing to do while they wait for the event to finish. I've tried making 3 different styles of DD, the capture one does work just hampered by lack of voice and it's too easy to get another car or have the mid air craziness. The TDM version works well too but the ultimate winner usually isn't the last surviving car. The race version didn't really work that well. What I'd like some input on is what would make the ultimate DD event? Now that we have improved creator tool…

Eeeeek, got a bit of an issue here. I'm making a capture and am in the process of placing the actors. Now I've placed two of them on top of a prop, but wasn't too happy about that. So in all my wisdom, I decided to remove the actors. But by doing so, I accidentaly removed the prop and not the actor. Result is now some dude floating in mid air and I can't find a way to delete said actor or put a prop back underneath him. Any idea how to get this sorted? Pls don't say reload your last save

Placing On Props
by Skorpion- 2 followers

Im working on a job right now and have run into a problem. I need to place team start points, and weapon pick-ups on top of props (similar to in RvI). I keep getting the messages "area must be clear" and "cannot stack". Ive tried placing directly onto the props, and placing on the ground and then moving them. Ive tried in capture (capture object, spawn points, weapons), LTS (spawn points, weapons), and race (CP, weapons). Is there some trick to placing things on top of props, or is it no longer possible?

New Capture Creation Questions
by LN-MLB- 5 replies
- 1.4k views
I've been trying to work on a capture lately, and I've run into a couple of things. 1) Is there no longer a way to edit or move a prop once it has been placed? I know I'm not losing my mind (or maybe I am), but I remember before the latest creator update, there was an option to move or edit the prop once it was on the ground or surface. That seems to be gone now. Unless I am missing something, it seems that you are forced to delete the prop and must place a new one instead. I wouldn't have an issue with that, but it seems to eat up the Model Memory... 2) That is my next concern--Model Memory Limit. I've googled through articles about this, and one person post…

Squirrels Random Idea Thread

I keep having crazy ideas in my sleep and I need somewhere to write them down and then can work out if they are feasible or fun enough to be developed into something more. If anyone wants to contribute they can do. First crazy idea which has just come to me is a recreation of the Death Star Trench Assault. I think it would need to be based on a capture. Not sure if it should be GTA or Contend. I'd use the LS river as the actual trench and have actors throughout the whole length with miniguns/RPGs to use as lazer emplacements. One team (Rebels) would attempt to fly down the trench trying to get the object (Torpedos) to the target (Thermal exhaust port) while t…

Bikerchute - testing the principle

I hope it's OK to post this here. It's not anything like a proper race, but I would like a couple of people to test something to see if they encounter the same bug that I do. I have reported this to Rock Star support but they have asked if anyone else can test it to make sure it's not just a problem with my PS3. Made on PS3, but I would appreciate someone trying it on PS4 as well.

Creating Race Kerbs (PS4)
by Squirrel- 5 replies
- 2.4k views
Race barriers can be a bit of a contentious issue. We often use tyre walls and stacks as well as the concrete barriers to mark out the inside line of a corner. All have their issues and its not exactly the best method when creating a track. With the latest update we have now been given full 6 degrees of movement over props which means a lot more flexibility when creating a track. Not the best image but the only one I can find which shows the prop in question. This barrier when turned onto it's side and then embedded into the ground could be ideal for creating an inside kerb which would look and behave like a proper race kerb should. Those drivers skil…

Parachutes in GTA races
by djw180- 7 replies
- 2.1k views
I've been experimenting with making some special races in GTA mode, where you have to leave your vehicle. What I wanted to do was have a race where you jump off a mountain or big ramp, bale out and parachute to the end. So I made a couple of test races like this. I tested them in the creator (driving to the end because you can't bale out). Then I tried playing them properly. The first run of them is OK. But if I restart the job on the 2nd and any further re-runs there is no parachute. I jumped off my bike and just fell to the ground. So I went back to the creator and put some parachutes along the course. Tried again, as I drive through a parachute there's a message saying…

Long version: Who are “we”? Whoever wants to participate in leaving constructive feedback and possibly participate in any discussions sprung from several members analyzing one specific race. What kind of feedback? Feedback can be provided on everything about the race. It needs to be specific to be useful. You do not necessary have to provide a solution, but rather point out any issues experienced or potential improvements. Where do we leave the feedback? In the jo…

I want to mention this as it can be quite frustrating. When placing dynamic props, and trying to move or delete the prop I sometimes get in a props category called just <> instead of <Dynamic>. Once this has happened, even if i manage to get back and create without any issues, it messes things up. The thing i noticed several times is that after this has happened when i run a test i will not get back to the creator. Once i exit the test i get a black screen and a loading circle down in the corner. This last forever and i have to end application (GTA) in order to use the ps4. If this is done before saving a creation you have lost everything.

Preferred air race type (poll)
by JustHatched- 2 followers

Just a quick poll as I have some air races in mind, but I also know most of my air races are a bit more complex than most which requires CP's to be placed in areas where respawning is difficult (don't crash right?). I putting this poll up to see what is preferred, you can't get better keeping them simple is my thoughts, but I also don't want to make something people hate because the respawns are tough. Vote, or post your thoughts

How do you read CPs while racing?

- 1.1k views
Here is a very handy guide for those that haven't made many races or would like to compare how they make their tracks. It is pinned on this site but I'm sure it doesn't get read much. http://www.domesticbatterygta.com/topic/1127-guide-to-checkpoint-placement/ My question is, how do you read a CP during a race that you haven't done before? Do you use it as a rough guide of where to go and use the map to tell you the road or do you just generally know the area? A lot of creators struggle with objectively viewing their race because they know the track and expect others to just know it. G, Snacks and I have been talking and giving feedback to each other's tracks and it has…

Our PS4 attendance list has been growing in numbers the past couple of weeks. Yay! There are a few playlist hosts bumping their attendee lists to 20 players. What's that mean? We need jobs that hold more than 16 players. A majority of you already create jobs that can hold 20+ people. Awesome! Make sure your tags are correct so hosts are able to find your jobs easier.

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
