I am working on a big project with some other devs which should have the feature to start a traffic stop while being on foot.

For example: Walking up to the window of a stopped or slowly-moving vehicle, opening a menu and then starting a traffic stop right on the drivers position.

 

However I think I'm missing an API function for that. I do know that Functions.StartPulloverOnParkedVehicle is a thing: however if you call it while being on foot it doesn't work (see attachment). Apparently the player needs to be in a vehicle.

 

So I would like to kindly request an api feature that would allow devs to start traffic stops on foot. 🙂

I second this, could be a super useful feature.

Just to share -I have made 'brute-force' stopping in as much that the car goes from full-speed to 0 instantly.
I used the Native BringVehicleToHalt code
if (aCar.Speed > 0)                                           

NativeFunction.Natives.BringVehicleToHalt(aCar, 2.0f, delayer, true);

Where

aCar just is the closest vehicle

delayer is a time in ms
I know you are able to make a more smooth breaking ; p -So this should do

Stopping a vehicle isn't really a problem. I am missing the feature to actually start a traffic stop while being "on foot", or like "instantly".
StartPulloverOnParkedVehicle requires the player to be in a vehicle and I think the player also has to blip their siren in order to "confirm" the traffic stop, just like you do it normally while on patrol.

What I'm missing is directly starting a traffic stop without any stuff like the "blip siren" confirmation or being forced to be in a vehicle.
