Hello fellow officers!

 

I am back hoping to get some help with a new problem that I need help solving. When invoking a Ped to park a vehicle, I noticed that the Ped will get almost right on top of the point, then drive around in circles for a few minutes before straitening out and parking the vehicle correctly. No matter how far away from the Vector3 that I call the "ParkVehicle" method, the Ped always drives like an idiot in circles before parking. Is anyone willing to share with me a work around?

 

My relevant code:

// Run checks while officer is enroute to the callout
while (drivingTask.IsActive)
{
	// Check for assignment changes
	if (NextTask != TaskSignal.None)
		return; // Return

	// Distance check
	if (parkingNicely && !isParking)
	{
      		// Getting close to location
		if (Officer.Position.TravelDistanceTo(CurrentCall.Location.Position) < 100)
		{
			Officer.Tasks.Clear(); // Clears the DriveToPosition task
			isParking = true;
			drivingTask = Officer.Tasks.ParkVehicle(CurrentCall.Location.Position, CurrentCall.Location.Heading);
		}
	}

	// Allow other threads to do something
	GameFiber.Yield();
}

Parking AI (or driving AI in general) in V is not great, so I am not sure if there is a real fix for this. You could try checking their distance to the target position and also compared desired heading and current heading and perhaps just mark them as parked yourself.

If u cant solve the problem try to use the driver.Tasks.DriveToPosition() command, and when the ped task ended just align the car with the parking spot*, or make the driver.Tasks.ParkVehicle() after the DriveToPosition() task ends. Maybe, with that, the AI will be more "intelectual".
