Hi there everyone,

After countless hours of searching for solutions and testing today I have finally decided to ask for help since none of the other solutions are working for me.

 

To sum up the problem I am facing:

• I pull up behind a car and press LShift
• I see the red blip on the map indicating that the car has been "marked"
• I press E as indicated by the prompt to initiate the traffic stop but the car just honks and nothing happens (Only with ELS vehicles)

*It's important to note that this only happens with ELS vehicles - I tested with vanila police vehicles and the traffic stop worked like a charm. I also noticed that nobody moves out of the way when I go full blast lights and sirens.

 

From what I have read is that you need to have FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT and FLAG_EMERGENCY_SERVICE in your vehicles.meta file in order for the traffic stop functionality to work.

I have double checked and the mentioned flags are present in the vehicles.meta

I also read that you should change this setting in ELS.ini in order to stop the vehicles from driving in a straight line and just crashing (ElsTrafCtrlOn = false)

 

I have not been playing for about two years so my installation is fresh and I have the following mods/files installed:

• LSPD First Response 0.4.9 (Build 8747)
• ScriptHook V (v1.0.3095.0)
• Gameconfig.xml for LML or manual install by RDE Team 3095
• HeapAdjuster
• PackfileLimitAdjuster
• Emergency Lighting System 1.05
• OpenIV
• BMW M5! [NON-ELS]-[ELS] [Add-on / Replace | FiveM-Ready] Non els Version

 

The BMW M5 is installed as an Add-on not a replacement using the ELS variant.

I tried installing it via dlcpacks which worked (without the ability to perform a traffic stop) and then I tried installing the Modding DLC Pack V 1.2.0.0 way, but the problem still remains.

I have tried it with another vehicle just to double check but I still have the same problem - unable to initiate a traffic stop.

 

Am I missing something important or am I doing it incorrectly?

 

UPDATE: 

 

I decided to test something else and it worked.

 

In the carvariations.meta file I changed the sirenSetting from

<sirenSettings value="0" />

to

<sirenSettings value="1" />

 

This fixed the issue and I can now pull vehicles over and they register when I go full blast lights and sirens

Glad you fixed it.

 

Thought I'd let you know, to pull over a car with ELS vehicles, you have to turn your lights on to the third stage, which means press J three times.

I forgot to mention the third stage, but even pressing J 3 times did not resolve the issue.

 

After I changed the sirenSettings value to 1 the in game prompt changed as well.

That's interesting. Do you mind if I mark that as the solution? Or you can do that yourself as well.
