Its about time I break my silence on this mod. If you enjoyed the vdH Bait Car mod, you'll enjoy this too. Development of this has been ongoing for about a week now, and some versions have been sent out for testing. Select a bait car from a list of models(changeable), wait for it to be driven to you, park it where you like, then sit back and wait. 

 

Current Features

• Fully editable list of vehicle models
• Neat, clean interface for selecting the vehicle
• Simple to use, only one keybind(open the selection menu)
• Fleeing suspects are recognized by LSPDFR, so backup will assist you.
• Kill switch to toggle the bait car's engine.

Planned Features

• None

Issues to overcome

• A few minor conflicts with MoreControlV

I will post more updates in this thread when the time comes. I'm currently having a few people play with the mod to ensure that there are as few bugs as possible in the initial public release.

Definitely going to keep my eye on this. Look forward to seeing the release =)

God damn it man, you beat me to it! 

Looking forward to this though! 

I remember there was a TV series about this. This is gonna be an epic mod!

Can't wait to see how good it is  Good work Stray!

By the way, any idea when you can tie Speed Radar with LSPDFR database?

This looks great! Been wanting something like this!

Working on adding more configuration options. Here's the INI File so far.

 

[Keys]

//The main key, opens the menu to select a car model.
OpenMenu=F7

//In case the plugin glitches out, this deletes and resets anything belonging to my plugin.
ForceCleanup=End

[Options]

//Minimum time in seconds before someone can take the vehicle.
MinSecondsBeforeStolen=30

//Maximum time in seconds before someone can take the vehicle.
MaxSecondsBeforeStolen=120

//The list of models to use as bait cars. Add and remove as many as you like.
//Be sure the model names are valid. If you put in a model that doesn't exist, LSPDFR will crash. Model names should be lower case.
//Each model name should be separated by a comma. (no spaces)
//Example: adder,turismor,vacca,infernus
//Default: adder,turismor,vacca,infernus,baller,bullet,cheetah,zentorno,dominator,gauntlet,blista
Models=adder,turismor,vacca,infernus,baller,bullet,cheetah,zentorno,dominator,gauntlet,blista

//The maximum distance to select a ped from. The plugin selects a random ped in this radius to steal the vehicle, so anything too big will make the ped have to run a longer distance.
//Anything too small may make the plugin unable to find a ped that meets the requirements. Recommend keeping it at 100 unless you know what you're doing.
MaxSearchRadius=100

//Setting this to true disables any tips from the plugin. It also won't notify you when you're far enough away or too close to the bait car, so you'll have to assume. (Should be at least a block away)
//Boolean - set to "True" or "False"
Hardcore=False

That's awesome. But.. If I'd be the cops, I wouldn't put a Bugatti as a bait car. What if the criminal wrecks it? :P

Whatsoever, I'm looking forward to it. :D

List of vehicles can be changed :). Picked the Adder because I knew I'd get an interesting pursuit.

Release it - it looks ready to me based on the video hahaha

Looks great so far! Any plans on adding a kill switch for the car? So if someone starts to take it you can kill the power and arrest them?

Indeed I am.

If all goes to plan and I don't run into any major issues, I'd like to have a public release finished saturday. Don't quote me on this though, I still have some features to add, which requires them to be tested, and any issues to be fixed.

Kill switch is being tested. I added support for controllers, and a couple more configuration options. The plan to release this weekend is looking good.

It's a script mod.. Then most likely yes, it'll run off RagePluginHook.
