Important Notice – End of Support I have officially retired from GTA V modding. Because of that, this plugin is no longer maintained and will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or new features. Please consider this project permanently finished and archived. After many years of developing mods and supporting the community, I’ve decided to step away and move on to other priorities. I am no longer active in GTA V development, and it’s very unlikely that I will return to update this or any o

Nope, but I changed it to LControlKey so it wouldn't blip a car. Works great.

Script is great but will cause a lot of plugin crashes. Had to remove. You have been warned but I don't think he is done working on it yet so stay tuned.

Same issue here

Issue is that you were trying to modify the game files while in game. Make sure you install simplectrl before you launch the game. You can't modify game files while the game is running. That's your issue. Check my tutorial out for the proper way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPXCbu0_7bE&ab_channel=JonJonGamesOfficial

I'm fully aware modifing files while in game will cause a crash, wasnt doing so.

That's what your Rage Log says. If it says corrupted memory means you're modding files while in game which causes the crash. There is no other explanation but that.

4:09 he says the damage system, then says it's not a thing yet.

so basically, is engine status, DSC status, AC status, fluid levels, and oil status display.

which I assume he's referring to working?

No damage system. It's the default GTA V Base damage system

There is no custom damage system, but those functions are based off regular gta v functions, so yes they will still indicate but there is no custom damage system so it uses base game values to determine damage.

Ignore what i've said about the damage system. It's just the default GTA V base.
