CHANGE_BLIP_DISPLAY
Number of parameters: 2
Parameter #TypeDescription
1.integerblip_handle
2.integerblip_display
Return value:
TypeDescription
None

Changes how a blip is displayed in both the radar/map and the world.

Know values for blip_display

Value Is it drawn on the radar/map? Is it drawn on the world?
0 NO NO
1 NO NO
2 YES YES
3 NO NO
4 YES YES
5 YES NO

These values were infered doing in-game tests. Pay attention to the blip_display value used for each blip (shown in the radar) and how the blips are displayed on the second image relative to the first one.

The blips were created in a for loop that also changed their blip_display value:

//The display values were defined in an enum.
//They vary from 0 to 5 with BLIP_DISPLAY_0 being 0 and BLIP_DISPLAY_5 being 5

Blip blip_array[6];
eBlipDisplay display_array[] = {BLIP_DISPLAY_0, BLIP_DISPLAY_1, BLIP_DISPLAY_2, BLIP_DISPLAY_3, BLIP_DISPLAY_4, BLIP_DISPLAY_5};

for(int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
{
	f32 offset = -8.0 * float(i);
	AddBlipForContact(952.727, -508.730 + offset, 20.0, &blip_array[i]); //For some reason "contact_blips" are gigantic
	ChangeBlipDisplay(blip_array[i], display_array[i]);
}
