getClosestStraightRoad

Shared

Finds the stretch of road closest to a point: two linked car nodes and the heading between them. Switched-off nodes are left out.

vec3, vec3, float|false getClosestStraightRoad(float x, y, z [, float minLength = 0, float maxDistance = 999999.875])

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
x, y, z	float	The point to search from.
minLength	float	The least distance in metres between the two nodes.default 0
maxDistance	float	How far from the point the stretch may be.default 999999.875

Returns

The two nodes' positions, beside the median as getPathNodePosition with lane gives them, and the heading from the second to the first in degrees. false if no stretch was found.

Example

local vehicle = getPedOccupiedVehicle(localPlayer)
if vehicle then
    local position = getElementPosition(vehicle)
    local first, second, heading = getClosestStraightRoad(position.x, position.y, position.z, 10, 200)
    if first then
        setElementPosition(vehicle, first.x, first.y, first.z + 1)
        setElementRotation(vehicle, 0, 0, heading)
    end
end

NoteOnly nodes in loaded path areas count: those near the player, or requested with requestPathNodesInArea.
