[HOW TO] Make added police cars work with LSPDFR (traffic stops etc.)

[GermanCommentGamer 3]

Hello!

First off: I'm sorry if this "fix" is already known... I searched here and via Google a few times and found no solution for this.

Almost everybody who wanted to play LSPDFR with a added car probably already ran into this issue. You added a cool new police car, wanted to play LSPDFR with it but couldn't, for example, stop traffic.

While replacing a few cars yesterday I had the idea that solved it for me. The vehicle flags in the vehicles.meta are the important part. How to fix it for the car you added? Here you go:

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTION:

1: First off, copy this line of code. It's the vehicles.meta "<flags>" line of the police cruiser:

<flags>FLAG_HAS_LIVERY FLAG_EXTRAS_REQUIRE FLAG_EXTRAS_STRONG FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT FLAG_EMERGENCY_SERVICE FLAG_NO_RESPRAY FLAG_DONT_SPAWN_IN_CARGEN FLAG_REPORT_CRIME_IF_STANDING_ON</flags>

2: Open the vehicles.meta that includes the code of your added vehicle.

3: Go to the vehicles code and replace the "<flags>" line with the one above.

4: Copy this line of code. It's the vehicles.meta "<vehicleClass>" line of the police cruiser:

<vehicleClass>VC_EMERGENCY</vehicleClass>

5: Go back to the vehicle.meta of your added car and replace the "<vehicleClass>" line with the one above.

6: Start your game and try it! :)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what fixed it for me. I haven't tried much as of now, but I can already confirm that you can stop cars with your added police cars from now on! I don't know about the possibilitys with plugins like VehicleSearch. It depends on how it works. If it checks the VehicleClass (VC_EMERGENCY) or the Flags (FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT) of the specific car, then it should work.

Sadly we still can't spawn it directly in the LSPDFR menu. So you still need a trainer or the RPH console to spawn your car.

Anyway, I hope I could fix this issue for you. But I take now responsibility for possible problems accouring after the changes. It works fine for me, but if you got any problems please just post them here. Maybe I can find some more things or lines to improve compatibility of added cars for LSPDFR.
