Ending callout when car gets picked up by tow truck

[xMG 0]

Hey there, I'm learning to mod on LSPDFR and wanted to make my own callouts plugin. I wanted to know how would I go about ending a callout when a car is being towed away.  (For example I'm using StopThePed towing). Probably something easy that I'm missing.

There are two separate problems really: 1) detecting if a c ar is being towed and b) ending the callout. Do you know what car you want to check? I have no idea of how StopThePed works, so you would have to look into how it does the towing a bit to figure out the best way on how to detect it. Ending your callout is as easy as calling End.

Yeah ending it is the simple part I just need to detect the car on the tow truck. Maybe even detect the car moving without a driver? I'll continue to try get it figured out.

You could see if it is attached to the other car using natives, then you could check if it is attached to any entity.

I'll take a look see if I can cook something up thanks for the advice

My temporary work around for this right now is just to tell the callout to end when the car 10 meters away from the spawnpoint. Easiest way and works very well for what I'm working on.

You could use the "IsOnAllWheels()" method on the vehicle to be towed and check its condition in a loop.  Not sure if this will return false when the vehicle is teleported, or when it's on a flatbed.

When I tell you I sat here at 4am scrolling through the methods....I must've looked through all of them at least 20 times and I still missed the "IsOnAllWheels()" one. Anyways. It works perfectly, works on flatbeds aswell. Only problem is since the vehicle spawns slightly above ground the callout ends automatically before you arrive. An easy fix for that was to just do

Game.LocalPlayer.Character.DistanceTo(Car.Position) < 5f

and then start checking if vehicle is on all wheels

 

Thanks for the help @Rich and I predicted the future by saying "Probably something easy that I'm missing."
