To all of the talented programmers and coders out there, can you create a call out for a person doing graffiti in-progress? I think that would be pretty cool.

Would be cool for sure. Could be graffiti in progress, or could be something more investigative, where you question people. Maybe about who's tag that is. Depending on the area, maybe they will help you, maybe not. Would be hard but very interesting,

Yeah, for sure. Are you a coder or programmer, by any chance? :D

Yeah, like if you're in a low-income area, you could have a higher chance of finding the person who did the tag, then if you were in a high-income area. Or, you could find the person dangling over a bridge doing a tag. There's so many possibilities.

Yes, that would be very neat. You could get a description of the suspect too and have it the same way many vehicle search calls go. Get a make, model, color, search the search area. Could be done with peds. And I was thinking the opposite. In a lower income area, say Davis or Strawberry people would, I think, be less willing to assist law enforcement, besides individuals in an area like Rockford Hills or Vinewood.

And no unfortunately I am not programmer. :P

Oh, yeah. That would make more sense. You could have it where people are less cooperative in lower income areas like Davis or Strawberry. Oh, and do you think it's possible to create a new animation to make the AI character look like he/she is tagging? If so, I think that it would make the call out a lot more interesting.

I am sure that animation already exists. I would be surprised if it doesnt

Would you happen to know any programmers who would make this possible? :P

I'll ask around a bit, see what some of the devs think :P

Okay, that sounds good. Thank you.

Hmm, if I didn't already have a few callouts involving questioning people, I'd have a crack at this

Do you think it would be possible to add an animation to the AI to make the callout more realistic?

There are a handful of graffiti-related animations that I've been able to find. When I get home tonight I'll throw something together to test them out and see if they'll work or not.

Sounds good man. Loving Agency Calls btw!

Okay, cool man. Thanks for the help! :D

Should definitely be able to whip something up. I'll work on adding a graffiti callout to my plugin, though it might not make the next version.

Okay, nice. What is the name of your callouts pack?

Also, where did you find the graffiti animations?

The Rage Plugin Hook docs have a list of all the animations in-game, it was just a matter of trying different search terms on the doc till I found something that sounded right. From the names of the animation, I think they're from a cutscene or something.

One problem I'm having though is getting a spray can into the perp's hand. I can spawn one in fine but it just drops on the ground, and the perp waves his hand around as if he had a spray can, which looks pretty silly.

Maybe there's an animation hidden within the docs that already gives the perp the spray can?
