NEON APIScriptable birds

Available in Neon, not standard MTA

Returns the wing beat period of a managed bird.

Syntax

Copy signature

float|false getBirdWingBeatTime(bird theBird)

Arguments

theBirdbird

Managed bird element.

Returns

The wing beat time, or false when the element is not a managed bird.

Ownership and lifecycle

A bird belongs to the client resource that created it and is removed when that resource stops. Birds fade near their render distance instead of being destroyed, and a dimension or interior mismatch hides them while keeping the element alive.

OOP aliases

• bird:getWingBeatTime()
• bird.wingBeatTime
