Right, I've been trying to find a way to stop this from happening for a few good hours now but I can't seem to get it to work.

As we know, its a pain in the ass getting into gunfights on GTA IV because peds decide to abandon their vehicles and run a mile, leaving you to clear up the mess they've left when you're done.

 

I looked in my ShockingEvents.dat and found this line:

 

                                           Priority    Ranges        WatchTimes        Norm Ped            Mission Ped            InCar Ped            Player As Source
;                             Life    Vis Aud        Min    Max            %    H W G A    F        %    H W G A    F        %    H W G A    F        %    H W G A    F

 

GunshotFired            3    7        45    100        2    10            100    0 0 0 0    8        0    0 0 0 0    0        60    2 0 0 0 0        100    0 0 0 0 8

 

I tried changing the values of InCar Ped and Player As Source to 0 but that caused every spawned AI in the area to leave their vehicles and run a mile. I've seen a mod that stops people becoming scared of the horn and I can imagine they've done the same thing to this file, anybody got any ideas on how I can get this working?

I tried this too, with the help of the existing "no fear peds" mods on gta4mods and here, but no success.

If you find how to do it, I'll send you cookies.

 

EDIT : one of those mods use shockingevents.dat + peds.ide, if it helps.

Just delete the entire line regarding "GunshotFired". It's what I did to prevent peds from running away when I honk my horn. I just removed the entire HonkHorn line and that seemed to work flawlessly. When I say the entire line, that means the word "GunshotFired" and everything that comes after it.

I tried this a long time ago , deleting the entire line worked for the horn, but not for the gunshots. It worked for you ?

Ive been trying everything and i cannot figure out a way to get rid of it

Or just download this: http://www.gta4-mods.com/misc/fearless-pedestrians-f16141

I haven't tried that out yet though.

That file seems to have just deleted everything in ShockingEvents.dat ..

 

I'll look into it some more, if not I'm sure something can be scripted to stop them.
