Hi, I'm trying to put a ped in pursuit. The ped starts out on foot and I want him to get in the closest vehicle. Unfortunately, whenever I put him in the pursuit he just bee lines it away from the player. I've tried putting the code for the pursuit before and after the command to no avail.

purpursuit = Functions.CreatePursuit();
Functions.AddPedToPursuit(pursuit, suspect);
Vehicle v = suspect.GetNearbyVehicles(1)[0]; ;
    if(v.Exists())
         suspect.Tasks.EnterVehicle(v, -1);
    else
        Game.LogTrivialDebug("[FC] No vehicles detected :^)");

This is the code I'm currently using. Can anyone help? :~)

Maybe your problem is this: for the task EnterVehicle() the ped has to be very close to the vehicle too work. You can try calling first the task FollowNavigationMeshToPosition(), wait for its completion and then call the task EnterVehicle(). If that doesn't work either most likely will be what Albo said.

I'll try that, thank you very much :~)

I think LSPDFR overrides suspect behaviour when you add them to a pursuit and I agree it's pretty annoying. I'm hopeful this may change in 0.3 though :)

This might be the case but I think I saw a callout where they had the suspect doing things while in a pursuit. I'll play with it. Worst case scenario I just start the pursuit after he steals a vehicle.

I was going to mention this too. I couldn't remember if it was EnterVehicle() or CruiseWithVehicle() (or both?) that doesn't work when the ped isn't close enough (within 10 meters) to the vehicle. But now that I'm thinking it over again, I believe you are right. You have to make the ped move closer to the vehicle first.

Is there a special task/native to make the ped jack the vehicle if it's occupied, or does EnterVehicle() do that automatically when you pass in -1 as the seat index?

Just make sure you make the ped run to the car, not walk at a normal speed. He's running away from the police, after all.

Ah I see, thank you! :~)

There is not that one I can find and EnterVehicle() does not do it automatically. Currently working on finding a way to make them steal an occupied car, I'm gonna see if telling them to attack the melee driver will work.
