More Car Crashes [Retired] 1.0.3

Did you upload the wrong zip file? When I hit download it gives me QuickDispatch...

Yes, sorry!😅

Why not make the seconds every 10 seconds, or even 60. I haven't checked out the code so I am assuming you're doing a random chance of a crash being caused, but having the possibility that often is alot imo.

You need to update your install instructions since this is not a rage standalone plugin.

Damm, can't get anything right now. Thanks for telling me.

I was planning to make the plugin more crazy. But I figured it will be annoying having to call a tow truck every time you go somewhere (if you use it for LSPDFR)

How do you figure that would be annoying and doing the following every 500ms isn't;
 

• Iterating over every vehicle in the world and doing an expensive sqrt distance check on every single one (completely unnecessary and causing severe lag)
• Creating 2 new instances of Random in every iteration, completely removing any randomness
• No asserts on the existence of said vehicles, resulting in a very likely exception (which is again expensive and causes a lagspike)
• Spamming notifications for each vehicle crash you generate
• Claiming "I cannot control how many car crashes happen" while you are the one creating them (?), it has nothing to do with the physics of the game, you are the one trying to create the car crash, hence, you are controlling them
   

The FPS issue you are causing can easily be avoided by not doing the above.

um something went wrong when i load the .dll I get the following error:

There are no other errors i hope you can help me thxsm!

It's not a rage plugin. it needs to go into your plugins/LSPDFR directoty.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. I though he meant a car will crash every 10 or something seconds. Anyways, I don't control how many car crashes the script decides to it's only luck (of 5 - 20%) and dosen't mean the cars will crash every time. If you want I can change it on your behalf.

Technically, you are controlling it cause your telling the script what to do when you coded this. Khorio can explain it better.

The behavior of the car crash script is driven purely by probability and randomness, meaning the occurrence of crashes is determined by luck rather than intentional coding logic. The script is designed to evaluate certain conditions, such as the proximity of vehicles and random chance, to decide whether a crash happens. As a result, the frequency and timing of crashes are not directly controlled by the script but are instead influenced by random probability calculations. This makes the crashes unpredictable and emphasizes the element of luck, rather than a structured or deterministic system that dictates when and where crashes occur.

There is 0 randomness because you are creating 2 new instances of Random every time. This is not how the random works.

AI crashing -  I might not need a mod for this though ...... sorry I had to!

Interesting concept though
