LA_Callouts 1.0.1

1) Callout Wide Issues

• Lack of spawn locations for callouts that use hand-selected locations

• Lack of animations for peds when creating a scene

• Lack of alternating outcomes (reduces replayability)

• Lack of waypoints when a callout is accepted — forces the player to check the map manually

• Issues with callouts failing to start due to invalid models or other errors

2) Callout Specifics

OFFICER DOWN CALLOUT

• Scene was messy (+1 for ped being dead), but units on scene were just standing still (no animations)

• First attempt: suspect could not be found

• Search area does not update when the ped moves (if applicable)

• Second attempt: suspect found, but upon apprehension the callout ends automatically and deletes the scene (should have manual end option)

• Suspect matched correct description — would be useful to have a key/option to re-check the description

DRIVEBY CALLOUT

• Attempted to start 4 times

• 3 times failed due to an “invalid model” error (?)

• 1 time it started, but only a ped was standing on the sidewalk (no scene or dialogue)

PROTEST CALLOUT

• Needs significant work

• Peds stand lifeless during a protest and are not blocking anything

• Spawn locations appear random (e.g., protesting in an alleyway)

• Peds with Molotovs never throw them

• Takes too long for peds to escalate into a riot (appears broken)

HOMICIDE SCENE CALLOUT

• No actual homicide scene present

• On arrival, only a ped shooting at the player

• Only appears to have two locations, both in Strawberry

DRUGS POSSESSION CALLOUT

• Could not get it to load

DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE CALLOUT

• No disturbance present

• Only a lady standing in a driveway

SHOPLIFTING CALLOUT

• Could not get it to load

VANDALISM CALLOUT

• Ped appears to be leaning on nothing (air)

• Ped is standing in the middle of the street

STREET RACE CALLOUT

• Only one vehicle present

• Instant pursuit makes catching the suspect harder

• Suspect drives in circles around the player

WANTED PERSON SEARCH CALLOUT

• Only two locations, both very close together

• Suspect fell from the sky upon arrival

• Other attempts: suspect could not be located

• Search perimeter does not move

SUSPICIOUS VEHICLE SEARCH CALLOUT

• Vehicle is stationary in the middle of the road

• Spawn location does not update with the suspect

• In 2/4 attempts, vehicle was outside the search area while stationary

• No real interaction: no dialogue, suspect does not flee

GAS STATION ROBBERY CALLOUT (DAVIS)

• Two peds spawn outside (not inside the store)

• Upon arrival, they flee (at least functional)

ACTIVE SHOOTER CALLOUT

• Suspect behaves as expected (actively shooting)

• No issues noted

PURSUIT IN DAVIS CALLOUT

• 3/4 attempts failed to launch

• The one successful attempt did not occur in Davis

• Feels like a generic pursuit callout

INTOXICATED PERSON CALLOUT

• First callout with actual player-to-ped dialogue

• Ped does not have a “drunk” flag (walks normally)

• Dialogue says the ped is drunk in public, but location is inside a house/apartment

• Ped simply walks away

• Lack of varied outcomes

ARREST WARRANT CALLOUT

• Strange AI radio dispatch lines

• Reused locations from other callouts

• Lack of varied outcomes

• Otherwise functional

3) Takeaways

• Good baseline overall, but requires significant polishing

• Primary focus should be on:

  • Stability (callouts failing to start, invalid models)

  • Scene detail (animations, proper setup, immersion)

  • Gameplay depth (varied outcomes, proper escalation)

• Recommendation: prioritize improving existing callouts rather than adding new ones
