Can we use ADDON vehicles?

Yes, you can change vehicles if you open the cs file and recompile it after changing the code. It looks like some people are requesting the ability to change without code. I will try to add a .ini file in the next version.

Here is where you would change the cars in the code:
// =====================================================

// VEHICLES BY ZONE

// =====================================================

private readonly string[] lsiaVehicles = { "police", "police2", "police3" };

private readonly string[] blaineSheriffVehicles = { "sheriff", "sheriff2" };

private readonly string[] blaineCopVehicles = { "police", "police2", "police3" };

private readonly string[] highwayCopVehicles = { "policeb"};

private readonly string[] lsCountySheriffVehicles = { "sheriff", "sheriff2" };

private readonly string[] lspdVehicles = { "police", "police2", "police3" };

private readonly string[] senoraSVPDVehicles = { "police", "police2", "police3" };

private readonly string[] senoraSheriffVehicles = { "sheriff", "sheriff2" };

private readonly string[] senoraHighwayVehicles = { "policeb"};

private readonly string[] parkRangerVehicles = { "pranger" };

where do i place the files in my plguins folder or plugins LSPDFR folder

The two AIAmbientPolice_DefaultCars files (dll and pbd) go in the GTAV/Scripts folder. The .cs file is the open-source code that can be opened and modified in a program that can read/compile cs files if you wish to change the script. (Visual Studio is an example of a software that can do this).

Im Not sure what this mod does does it spawns backup units or only pulling people over

Did you click the overview tab? Their is a video and explanation. Long story short, this mod will spawn one of two things across various points across the map:

1. Sitting AI Patrol police. Engine running, driver in driver seat. Will act like any other normal AI unit that drives except it is sitting. It will usually join a pursuit if you drive by and are in a pursuit.

   **Currently working on a plugin/script to try and call these units for backup. So far, only traffic stop backup works correctly during my testing.

2. Ambient traffic stop. Police car with emergency lights activated, police AI will get out of car, walk to passenger side, write a ticket for 10 seconds, return to car.

Ok thanks for the update. This looks promising. Maybe the ai patrol cars could also pull peds over for going through red lights and speeding

i put it in but i have yet to see anybody pulled over

Is the only way to modify it, to adjust the code??

Yes, for now. I may include a .ini file in a later release. I am focusing on trying to create a mod to allow the already AI spawned units in this mod/already spawned across the map to be called as backup

Check either Paleto Bay (Great Ocean HWY in Paleto Bay and on HWY in forrest) or Senora Rd near Harmony.

If you see a sitting patrol car, use a clean world mod/tool and the spot will spawn a sitting unit or traffic stop 50% chance each.

so i have to spawn the traffic stop??? it does not do it by itself???

Would love to see you continue with this mod with a config. If I could make a suggestion, if you can have the officer stay on the side of the roadway longer with the vehicle that is pulled over, it would be great. The ambient traffic stops that LSPDFR provides is decent, but 95% of them are on scene for less than 30 seconds. Or another suggestion, after the officer returns to his/her car, they can sit and wait a bit. Right now, it's almost a race to see who can pull out into traffic the fastest.

sorry but how to install?

Everything spawns automatically.

Thanks for your suggestions, I will take them into consideration for the next release.

I do think increasing the traffic stop time is a good idea. I will see how 30 seconds looks/feels.

I will also add a 2 second wait for the officer to drive off so the pulled over car can drive off first.

All files except the .cs file goes into the GTA/Scripts folder.

The cs file is for open-source reference.

Or have the backup or ai cop after doing the stop have him in his patrol car with notepad doing paperwork work for while until you leave you can have him writing on notepad animation

I changed it in the new version to the sequence below, I will probably keep the traffic stop as is because I have it working and spawning correctly with the way it is setup (I've tried changing it and it seems to mess up the cleanup/ending of the stop)

"Traffic Stops now last 30 seconds

Cop walks to passenger side of pulled over car, writes a ticket, then walks back to patrol car

Pulled over car drives away first, then cop car 2 seconds after to prevent them from almost crashing into each other when ending the stop."

I think it’s great and I’ll give it a try.

how do i spawn Traffic Stop? what the key? can you do this automatic? for example you are driving you could add blips flashing on the map

The units and/or traffic stops spawn automatically. 50% chance for each spawn point.

The exact locations are given in the code. Paleto Bay and Paleto Forrest have a couple of spawn points on Great Ocean Hwy for easy testing/visibility.

I would love to have replaced vehicles so when you add a new police car the mod would use that car

Yes, you can replace police vehicles in the .ini file for this mod.
