When trying to activate the PED or Vehicle tracking try using the modifier key. That’s the issue I had, as it was using it. Good luck!

Hey it works now. Had to make some Key conflicts. Thanks a lot. 👍

Maybe the newer version might work. Now it will lock at the closest veh or ped you're aiming at. Also enjoy the search mode by pressing the decimal key 😉

Unfortunately no one is currently working on it, the best thing to do now is to use my updated version of it. Either way the mod is open source if anyone wants to further update it.

Does this work with any vehicle with a spotlight?

It actually works on any vehice in the game,if not already added you can do that using the in-game menu.

The new turret thing is cool.. I love how snappy it is when you move the spotlight now.. very realistic. Question though, I have a 2016 Dodge Charger - the Oregon State Police one and it does have a spotlight on it but the turret is down and to the right of the fixed object spotlight.. is there a way to change the position of the turret to correctly cover the fixed object one?

Disregard this... I realized this vehicle doesn't have a "turret" and just defaults to offsets.ini and I realized that my issue was that I did not have the position offsets defined for this car so I added a new entry and correctly calibrated it and now it lines up and so it looks like maybe the default spotlight was updated to move faster and more fluid if so then I am happy so thank you and great work! I would assume the "turret" would be like the spotlight on the default Police3 vehicle that you turn on the headlight bright and it turns on the spotlight? lol

Does the turret/spotlight itself turn for you on vehicles?  I'm not entirely sure where VEHICLE_WEAPON_SEARCHLIGHT goes.  I tried the vehicle flags, but nothing.

That kind of searchlight you're talking about only applies on helicopters which do have a spotlight on them like this one: 

 I released on the comments section a while ago a video proving how it works. Unfortunately alexguirre no longer updated the mod and now with the new versions of the game we can't move the turret like before.Either way I have also released in the comments section an updated version with improved controls. Either way the mod is open source if anyone wants to continue it's project and I''l be glad to help him.

@Unknown Soldier @Reddington For the turret to work the vehicle model must have the components turret_*base, weapon_* and, optionally, turret_*barrel, and in handling.meta, in its SubHandlingData, an item of type CVehicleWeaponHandlingData with VEHICLE_WEAPON_SEARCHLIGHT.

As far as I know, it should work on cars but I couldn't find any car mod that had it to test it. I mostly tested it on helicopters and boats from Coastal Callouts and vanilla (with boats I mean just the dinghy variants which have a spotlight in the back).

Hmm that's a very cool idea of making cars with rotating spotlights,maybe some car dev will take that into consideration. Btw is there any chance of integrating this mod to be operated by AI as well?

If you mean the LSPDFR AI, I don't have any plans to make the spotlight usable by AI right now. Though, I think LSPDFR already enables the spotlight on helicopters if they have a VEHICLE_WEAPON_SEARCHLIGHT.

Thanks...no rotating turret for me, 'cause that is a lot of editing for all my cars. 😂

Love the search function for spotlight, though here's an idea.  Give us a "disco" mode for the spotlight colors. 😂

Hi ! Nice to see an update on this content 🥰

Simple question : if it is easy, could you add an option in the INI to lock the wheels straight when we push the modifier button on the controller ?

As the left stick also controls the wheels, you can't go in a straight street and use the light without turning with the vehicle.

I know there are two other options, but the right stick controls the camera, so it's worst. And the D-Pad is not a viable option.

Thanks 😉

Yep you're right, when the heli backup is called and it do not have a targeted entity it will perform it's basic search mode which you have recreated. Also when searching for a suspect the police AI when on foot will bring up their flashlights, which is a very cool detail but unfortunately it's conditions to make it happen are damn rare :)) 

can someone make a video on how to get it to work cause i cant get it to work on any cars.

the spotlight on the cars dont move how do i make it move
