First time I've ever played with code that isn't Java so if the answer is staring me in the face please kindly pat me on the back, point to it and send me on my way, I'll take care of being ashamed myself lol.

 

Ok so callouts, attempting to make a custom version of a pursuit so really not being too creative with the API but hey gotta start somewhere right?

What I'm looking at is these 2 sections of the code

The first

this.CalloutMessage = string.Format(Functions.GetStringFromLanguageFile("CALLOUT_ROBBERY_GTA_MESSAGE"), Functions.GetAreaStringFromPosition(this.spawnPosition));

And the second

// Show message to the player
                Functions.PrintText(Functions.GetStringFromLanguageFile("CALLOUT_ROBBERY_CATCH_UP"), 25000);

EDIT: having to re-add what I typed below the second code segment because when I clicked submit post it deleted it :S

 

My question was, is there a list of possible parameters for this language file that I can replace the "CALLOUT_ROBBERY_GTA_MESSAGE" with, and if so...where?

 

OR can this particular string segment be replaced entirely with just a string.

 

So instead of Functions.getString.....("STRING"),

 

I could just put ("Custom string here", )

 

 

I'm also using the all text mode in LCPDFR myself, so how does that affect it?

Cheers :)

 

 

 

EDIT 2: Yes, you can just replace it with random text, so disregard that part of the question

You probably don't want to use the built-in ones, as they're specific to the built-in callouts - they aren't general in any way. Just do something like

string.Format("We have reports of a crime in {0}.", Functions.GetAreaStringFromPosition(this.spawnPosition));

The built-in strings are done the way they are to support translation into other languages - by putting them in a resources file, we can just change that file to change all user-visible text. You don't need to worry about it for your own mods.

Ah ok, thanks for the speedy reply :)
