Try to add "FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT" on the flags section of your added car on the vehicles.meta, This flag means the car will have police horn and can be spawned through dispatch.meta if you already added the car to dispatch.meta.

Yep, that's already there. Do you want me to post the vehicles.meta file?

NOTE: I'm using the template that the Highway Patrol pack used.

Oh and i forgot to say something, the siren doesn't work either.

Let me ask something first, Are you asking about it's audio hash or siren light setting? I can help you, I am experienced.

This is what the .meta looks like for it, and i haven't edited the carvariations file because i thought thats only needed for the livery:

I assume you're forgot to add the siren lights setting, It is required if you're trying to add a emergency vehicle, Please add this lines on the end of the lines on your added car in carvariations.meta.

<sirenSettings value="1" />

Then, You're good to go.

Edited August 16, 201510 yr by TheF3nt0n

That worked! Thanks for the help F3nt0n! :P

Glad to hear that, Thanks, man!

What are the lightsettings for interceptor, the coronas of my civilian version for this car are in the wrong position.

so add custom vehicle to either MPheist or MPchristmas DLC
add tags/lines to car variation, vehicle and dispatch meta respectively
add the interiors/sirens to the respective meta
use the rage hook command line to spawn?
is there anyway to spawn them via a menu?

I ask all of this because going through the four pages of this topic, I want to try and figure out how to get lspdfr to work (yes first timer here)

We know how to add vehicles but, how to add new cops/peds without replacing other?

yes you need to spawn it by command, because the trainers and menus have a list of the vehicles and your added cars will not appear.

ok. I might work on something like this if I get the lspdfr thing going, TY Mercuri

<lightSettings value="0" />

what should I put for the cvpi? on 1 it gives 2 lightbars overlapping each other

<lightSettings value="0" />

Do you mean it has overlapping lights or that both lightbars are actually spawning on the car? If the latter is the case, check the vehicles.meta entry for the model you're using and make sure it doesn't have a FLAG_EXTRAS_ALL entry on the flags line. Otherwise, it was probably designed to use the settings for the original cruiser, meaning you should set it to 13.

I have everything working but not the siren sound. Everything else works perfectly, i have the flag law enforcement. Siren setting to 2 and light setting on 2.. what can i change or add to have the siren make sound/lights instead of only lights?

Thanks already!

vehicles.meta

handling.meta

carvariations.meta

You should not use audio hash from other vehicles aside from police vehicles, It's siren sound will not working properly, It's not possible yet to edit the audio hash, For work around you should use "Police", "Police2", and "Police3". This will add siren sound on said added police vehicles, But it will have different engine sound.

alright, but it will still have the handling of the Kuruma as that doesn't change... nice! thanks alot!

It will not change the handling, It just changes the audio hash of the vehicle.

so I have a texture/model that would replace police4 and I want to make it standalone. Do I just copy the police4' (where to find them?) vehicle/carvariations.meta lines and change the name to police5? And then name the .yft and .ytd also polic5 and add them to vehicle.rpf? And then I can spawn the car with "spawn police5"?

Are we sure changing the below in carvariations.meta actually does anything? Reason I ask is because I forgot to modify it for a standalone car I installed and left the code below, but the multiple liveries still work ingame.

          <liveries>
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
          </liveries>
        

Make sure set one of them to true otherwise the textures will clips on the vehicle.

          <liveries>
            <Item value="true" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />
            <Item value="false" />

Hi, I just noticed that all my added vehicles in mpchristmas2 dlcpack looks like matte paintjob but if I change them to x64e look good. Any one knows why?

Left car is police3 and is on x64e

Right car is the added car that is on mpchristmas 2
