Hello everyone. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to help me out. I got interested in creating a custom callouts for myself, and ultimately to share on LSPDFR site. So i looked some tutorials, and tried, but everything seems bit outdated and i come across some problems. I tried to find already made example code to put inside callout pack and test it, but even on the coding a "GivenewWeapon" doesnt exist for example. And other callout i tried to make (simple pursuit) i didnt have success in loading. So i was wondering if anyone active in development of callouts could give me a hand 🙂 ty all in advance.
(examples of what i would like to make as callouts: Riots and protests, vandalism on the streets, etc. )

Update:
I see that plugin has loaded, but cant trigger callout, like it doesnt exist, and hopefuly fixed "GiveNewWeapon" problem.

Made some progress

The callout tutorial from the stickies is fine:

Is that the one you have used?
Another brilliant resource is Albo's gitHub repository where he shows source code for a lot of callouts:
https://github.com/Albo1125/Assorted-Callouts/tree/master/AssortedCallouts/Callouts
I have not made any callout yet, but i have made a plugin. In a way i feel it is more simple to start out with a plugin, but if callouts are your thing, then it is of cause not helping.
I dfo not know the callouts you want to recreate, but i would recommend a really simple one first, and the build it up with more complicated code

Not being able to initiate the callout should be solved by manually selecting it from your plugins-folder.
Press F4
In console type loadplugin
All white text can be easy-pasted just press TAB
After loadplugin type the first letters of your callout and let easy-pasted do the rest!
Then it should initiate i hope..

This syntax gives default-player a weapon, but oddly not the correct one, but at least you have the syntax

Game.LocalPlayer.Character.GiveNewWeapon(

   new WeaponAsset("WEAPON_STUNGUN"), -1, true);

If you manage to get the taser-gun Please tell -I get a flashlight.... 😳

This is exact tutorial i used, seemed good. I see in console that plugin has loaded, but when it comes to callout, nothing. Plugin itself doesnt give any error so i think its good XD I tried both that simple pursuit, and another i found on github (i forgot the name, but it was something with mugging).. again i got plugin to load but no callout.
I am pretty much noob when it comes to coding, but i figured once i get the one from tutorial to work i can fool around, but seems i cannot even do that. Thank you for albos callouts tho, i was searching for something like that to "reverse engineer", so i will definetly give it a try.

The best way is to make a small tutorial right here in forum, then anybody that has a similar issue can find a solution be searching 🙂

Those are things that everybody could benefit from knowing about, and most likely why the callouts does not do what they are supposed to, dont load, or mess up.
Atm i have not made any callouts, i am working on my plugin that i need myself, because i do not want to install STP.
So far i have
    "cuts sirene, "+
    "offer Peds/ colleague transport, " +
    "destroy cars" +
    "give stungun in foot-chase " +
    "UniversalCarKey"+
    "CarBlipping & blipRemoving"
(Copied from the assembly-info),

But i really would like to be able to remove 'dead' peds, -a kind of coroner-feature -that is important, but also using props, and soundfiles. For those i have the strangest trouble.
Code builds with no issues, but crashes with error "cant find files or assembly"
It is those kind of tiny issues, that can foil an otherwise good plugin
