Is there a way to change which ped drives certain vehicles?

I want the detective ped (not sure of the name of it that the game understands) to drive the unmarked staniers I have driving round the city.

Can someone help?

Thanks

Under the vehicle entry in the vehicles.meta file, there's a "Drivers" entry; change the ped model defined there and you're all set.

Go to update\update.rpf\common\data\levels\gta5 and in vehicles.meta you should find POLICE4 and there's the name of the ped model who drives the car. If you know the name of the ped you want to drive the unmarked Staniers already, just replace what's in there.

All of that above me is what is set for the vehicle pool. As in which vehicles spawn randomly on the road. It won't help very much. You'd need to change the Dispatch.meta file in order for it to work.

Already done this part :) Thanks though XD

So I just tested this with the detective name on Police4, and it just put randomly dressed normal peds in the cars and they didnt come after me (not part of the wanted system) hmmm, so its not as easy as changing the ped name after all. ;(
