Okay now, you are asking: "What does this plugin do?".

Well let's see this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9AtUwlNOFk
That's drifting (and one of my favorite games which inspired me to write this plugin).

Here is a video that is representing this plugin:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNNcMC-R8So


And now: why not in PAWN? -
lemme explain:

PAWN is a scripting language made for small scripts (not the huge GM's like for sa-mp, but it can handle it easily )
and if you do many calculations on 500 players it will just do the calculations. While it's doing the calculations pawn cannot execute any other functions, so your gamemode will be 'paused' till the operation is done.
Now what this plugin does: it does all the needed calculations in the background for pawn and calls 3 callbacks to efficiently do everything.

Okay where can I download it?

The lastest source, compiled dll/so, includes are part of the "Gamer_Z's Project Bundle" and can be obtained from here:

http://gpb.googlecode.com/

Known problems/bugs:
- None


The functions explained:

Note: Please see the Wiki for more information

//-1 means set for all players.
native DriftSet_UpdateDelay(delay);
native DriftGet_UpdateDelay();

Set/Get the interval between drift updates.(this is in TICKS, not seconds or miliseconds or nanoseconds!)

native DriftSet_MinimalSpeed(Float:MinimalSpeed,playerid = (-1));
native DriftGet_MinimalSpeed(&Float:MinimalSpeed,playerid = (0));

Set/Get the minimal speed to approve a 'drift'.

native DriftSet_MinimalAngle(Float:MinimalAngle,playerid = (-1));
native DriftGet_MinimalAngle(&Float:MinimalAngle,playerid = (0));

Set/Get the minimal angle to approve a 'drift'.

native DriftSet_MaximalSpeed(Float:MaximalSpeed,playerid = (-1));
native DriftGet_MaximalSpeed(&Float:MaximalSpeed,playerid = (0));

native DriftSet_MaximalAngle(Float:MaximalAngle,playerid = (-1));
native DriftGet_MaximalAngle(&Float:MaximalAngle,playerid = (0));

These functions are self explainatory, if you want to make minimissions in RP like drift between 25 and 70 degrees then you can just use them

native DriftSet_StartEndDelay(delay,playerid = (-1));
native DriftGet_StartEndDelay(playerid = (0));

This is the delay in ticks between a drift start and when a drift should be countet as 'ended' if the player is not drifting anymore.

native DriftSet_Divider(divider,playerid = (-1));
native DriftGet_Divider(playerid = (0));

This sets the points divider so you won't get huge numbers in OnDirftUpdate and OnDriftEnd. defaul is 350.

native DriftSet_DamageCheck(enable = 1,playerid = (-1),Float:MaxHealthLoose = 0.0);//default = disabled (0), enabled = 1
native DriftGet_DamageCheck(playerid = (0),&Float:MaxHealthLoose = 0);

This enables checking if the vehicle heal has changed, if yes it ends the drift and calls OnDriftEnd.
Also with MaxHealthLoose you can set the maximum amount of health to loose (so you can allow drift that 'scratch')

native IsPlayerDrifting(playerid);

Check if a player is drifting.

forward OnPlayerDriftStart(playerid);

This is called when a player starts drifting, handy to begin showing textdraws.

forward OnPlayerDriftUpdate(playerid,value,combo);
//UPDATED IN R10 TO:
forward OnPlayerDriftUpdate(playerid,value,combo,flagid,Float:distance);
//UPDATED IN R17 TO:
forward OnPlayerDriftUpdate(playerid,value,combo,flagid,Float:distance,Float:speed);

This is called at every step when a drift is approved, it is called very many times per player if he drifts so keep your code short.
value is the amount of drift points gained with the last short drift move
combo increases until OnPlayerDriftEnd.
flagid is the closest flag within 10 meters
distance is the distance to the closest flag,
speed is the speed in km/h.

#define DRIFT_REASON_TIME_EXPIRE (0)
#define DRIFT_REASON_CAR_DAMAGED (1)
//ADDED IN R19
#define DRIFT_REASON_PLAYER_EXIT_VEHICLE    (2)

forward OnPlayerDriftEnd(playerid,value,combo,reason);

This is called when the players drift delay time is epleased or when damage checks are enabled and the health is changed. The reason variable indicates how the drift was ended,
DRIFT_REASON_TIME_EXPIRE - the drift has ended because the player didn't start a new drift within the delay period.
DRIFT_REASON_CAR_DAMAGED - the drift has been ended because the vehicle health changed.
DRIFT_REASON_PLAYER_EXIT_VEHICLE - the drift has been ended because the player exited his vehicle

native IsPlayerDrifting_precise(playerid);

This is more precise than IsPlayerDrifting, this actually tells you if the car is really (AT THE TIME OF THE CALL) drifting, not if the player is in a drift.

native Drift_AddFLAG(Float:X,Float:Y,Float:Z);//returns flagid

Adds a 'Drift Checkpoint' so when somebody drifts within 10 meters from the flag OnDriftUpdate is expanded with flagid and Distance, how lower the distance how closer the player drifts!

native Drift_DisableFLAG(flagid);

Disables an created drift checkpoint.

native Drift_DeleteFLAG(flagid);

Deletes an created drift checkpoint (if AddFLAG is not used this action can be undone with EnableFLAG(flagid))

native Drift_EnableFLAG(flagid);

enables an disabled (or deleted) drift checkpoint.

native Drift_MoveFLAG(flagid,Float:X,Float:Y,Float:Z);

Moves a drift checkpoint to a new position.

native Drift_SetCheckForFlags(enabled = 1,playerid =(-1));
native Drift_GetCheckForFlags(playerid = 0);

Enables / disables / get the setting for checking if players (or a specified player) are(/is) in a range of a drift checkpoint.

Added in R19

native Drift_Private_ChangeState(playerid,newstate);

This native is used internally, it is not recommended to use this unless you know what you are doing.
Please refferer to the include to see where it is used and to the source to see what it does.

native Drift_SetGlobalCheck(enable = 1);
native Drift_GetGlobalCheck();

Enables/disables the whole plugin, can be used at any time.

native Drift_SetPlayerCheck(playerid = (-1),enable = 1);
native Drift_GetPlayerCheck(playerid = (0));

Enables/Disables/gets the checking for if the player drifts. if enable is 0 no drifts will be approved (for the specified player).

native Drift_SetBackwardsCheck(enabled = 1,playerid =(-1));
native Drift_GetBackwardsCheck(playerid = 0);

enables/disables/gets the option for drifting backwards.

native Drift_SetDriftMaxHealthLoose(Float:MaximalHealthLoose = 0.0,playerid = (-1));
native Drift_GetDriftMaxHealthLoose(&Float:MaximalHealthLoose,playerid = (0));

Have fun, any questions? Post here.

O M G nice plugin, i must try this!

[RyDeR`]

Nice to see it released. Good job!

Thanks, and I hope somebody will help develop this ^^ (and help making it cross compatible).

BTW does anyone have a function called 'IsVehicleMovingForward/Backward' ? I'm too lazy to resesrch it and make it on my own but I can

[Rock_Ro]

Lol.

A Drift Points Plugin, i was planning to release the best drift counter but this...ruin all my plans

Release aborted

Good Job, when i install San Andreas Again ( if i install ) i will test to see how it works xD

EDIT:

stock IsVehicleDrivingBackwards(vehicleid)
{
    new
        Float:Float[3]
    ;
    if(GetVehicleVelocity(vehicleid, Float[1], Float[2], Float[0]))
    {
        GetVehicleZAngle(vehicleid, Float[0]);
        if(Float[0] < 90)
        {
            if(Float[1] > 0 && Float[2] < 0) return true;
        }
        else if(Float[0] < 180)
        {
            if(Float[1] > 0 && Float[2] > 0) return true;
        }
        else if(Float[0] < 270)
        {
            if(Float[1] < 0 && Float[2] > 0) return true;
        }
        else if(Float[1] < 0 && Float[2] < 0) return true;
    }
    return false;
}

you can release a good drift counter like in the video, I'm not that enthousast to make it, so this plugin can help you make the best drift counter filterscript (make some nice textdraws in it, on combo change make it appear bigger etc..)

and thanks for the function! I will port it to the plugin to make the drif counter less buggy

download the dll's from the web and place it where you have samp-server.exe.

It seems like you have no idea about ticks, you should read the first answer here: http://superuser.com/questions/10118...-is-a-cpu-tick
And it is not correctly that it does calculations in background.
You should also implement something like Y_Less's 'foreach' so that it cache players that are in vehicle so you don't need to loop every player, just ones that are DRIVING a car.
