Whenever I make a callout in Visual Studio, it passes intellisense but for some reason the callout never comes up in game

[download500 16]

I have noticed if I experiment with new options, sometimes it will cause the callout to NEVER load, despite setting it's frequency to "very high".

Does the game refuse to load the callout if it will crash or something? I wish it would tell me if/why it wasn't loading so I could fix it. 

I know I have it installed right (in the plugins/LSPDFR folder) because it works if I leave it as the example callout, but the moment I start spawing more vehicles, etc it stops being triggered in game.

Also, what script would I use to bind my callout to trigger on a hotkey, so I can test it?

Check the RPH log file for a line line this:

[10/10/2015 12:51:00.201] LSPD First Response: Registering callout CalloutsV.Callouts.StreetRace

But obviously it will have your mod name, namespace and callout file name.

If that never appears the callout is never registered. If it does appear it is registered and will be randomly selected.

You also can't force your own callout, just set the probability to "Always" and keep hitting X until it shows up.
If you've done this, and the line in the log file above shows but the callout still never appears, you've used or done something else which is blocking it, for example created an infinite loop in the wrong place. Double check your code.

Also as a best practice, comment and log a callout. So you can go through the log file to see if your code actually executes or if it gets cut off for whatever reason.

My callout is called MVA, I have these littered throughout the log:

 

[11/21/2015 11:05:26 PM.753] LSPD First Response: GetAudioFileForAction: No file found for: MVA

Have you registered the callout with LSPDFR?

Functions.RegisterCallout(typeof(Callouts.ExampleCallout));
