Very new to LSPDFR but loving it.

 

Had a thought which I'm posting as a suggestion, but if someone can tell me a plugin already exists for this then amazing - I searched a random parked car on patrol and found drugs and a handgun. I checked the owner's details (I have CompuLite+, but guess I could do the same on the base mod's computer) and got their address and the fact that they don't have a gun license.

 

I thought it would then be cool if there was some way you could issue a warrant for their arrest and then it spawns a callout for that person at that address (in the same way as a regular outstanding warrant callout). Could do the same if a ped gets away from a pursuit/foot chase etc., but you ID'd them beforehand?

 

Essentially I'm imagining a button on the police computer which issues a warrant for a named ped's arrest and that spawns a callout to go get them at their home address.

 

I'm not a modder so have no idea how complicated this would be - not aware of this functionality in any existing plugin - food for thought?

Novice Mod Dev here, still developing Mods that I only use by myself, but if I had to guess, this wouldn't be OVERLY complex but it would certainly be a bit of a Pain to make happen. You would essentially have to generate the PED to where it actually exists, (parked cars with no PEDs just use whatever name was generated for the car when it was spawned into the World, the PED doesn't necessarily actually exist in the World) and then specify where that PED Spawns, how the interaction should go, create multiple spawn points (pretty easy), ect ect. 

 

The main thing would be generating a PED with the exact same attributes as the PED that may come up when you run a Car Plate, e.g. if you use something like Compulite, the PED that gets generated may look different than the PED that the Car comes back to, have different attributes (e.g. DOB, Warrants, Arrest History, Address, ect), that sort of thing. 

So, would making a Caveman version of this where you throw Immersion and continuity out of the Window be simple? maybe, but making something like this that would actually be immersive and fully functional? taller order. Ideally you would create a Callout for it that incorporates the Car itself, that way the Car is Spawned by the Callout, knows exactly where to take the player, ect. 

I could be wrong, I could be sort of right, but from my relatively limited experience developing Callouts, this would be a bit tedious to make happen. For me personally, if I find a Car Parked Illegally, I just run the Plate, get the name, and give the "Owner" a Citation which will pop up in my System a few days with a Verdict.

Depends.
a complete autonomous scenario where a new plugin creates all elements in the callout, (purp-car, contraband, purp) would be relatively simple, but if the elements should be available for other plugins like compuLite or appear in core features, it would be hard.
