CREATE_PICKUP

This opcode spawns a pickup at a coordinates point that can be "picked" up by the player. Pickup is a spinning object (with a glowing halo in GTA III and Vice City) that disappears when the player goes through it. If the model is a usable weapon, the player can "pick" it up and use it.

The maximum number of pickups that can be spawned in GTA III and Vice City is 336 and in San Andreas is 620. Passing the limit will no longer spawn anymore pickups but the game will not crash.

Example

The following example, using Sanny Builder, will spawn an adrenaline pickup close to the player character.

// set constants
const
PICKUP_MODEL = #ADRENALINE
PICKUP_HANDLE = 0@
X_POS = 1@
Y_POS = 2@
Z_POS = 3@
end

// spawn pickup
00A0: store_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR position_to X_POS Y_POS Z_POS
X_POS += 4.0
0213: PICKUP_HANDLE = create_pickup #ADRENALINE type 2 at X_POS Y_POS Z_POS

Unique objects

There are objects that have unique properties when used with this opcode. An example would be the object "bribe" that can only be picked up when the player has a wanted level. The uniqueness of the object is based mostly on the model name of the object, independent of the ID number of the object with the exception of weapons. Here is a list of all unique objects.

Vice City

By default, objects have concentric halos when used as a pickup, similar to the halos seen around weapon pickups but not around health pickups. Also by default, when an object gets picked up, it produces a sound. Some objects can have a unique sound, different from generic objects.
