Backup.xml not working properly?

[alweed 44]

whenever I modify backup XML, I am trying to make it spawn vehicles with a light bar

 

this is what I change in the .xml

 

<BackupUnits>
    <LocalPatrol>  <!-- Type of backup -->
        <LosSantosCity>  <!-- Area of backup-->
            <VehicleSet>
                <Vehicles>  <!-- A model will be chosen randomly from a vehicle set. You can use
the same model more than once to increase the chance. -->
                    <Vehicle extra_2=true>police</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle extra_1=true>police2</Vehicle>
                    <Vehicle>police3</Vehicle>
                </Vehicles>
                <Peds>
                    <Ped chance="80">s_m_y_cop_01</Ped>  <!-- Chances must add up to 100 -->
                    <Ped chance="20">s_f_y_cop_01</Ped>
                </Peds>
                <NumPeds min="1" max="2" />  <!-- Number of peds that will respond (minimum and
maximum) -->

 

however it doesn't seem to work

 

and on some callouts it will crash LSPDFR?

 

help anyone? I don't understand why this is happening?

I followed the instructions on the top correctly (the sparse instructions)

 

if anyone wants to look at my full backup.xml it's attached

backup.xml

P.S : it's F5544's designs

 

(theres no info on how to make it force spawn with a lightbar)

cause he probably hates them or something.

There are some issues with the extra_n parsing in the backup.xml. You do have to include quotes around all attribute values, e.g. extra_1="true" instead of extra_1=true. However, even if you do that, sometimes the vehicles won't actually spawn with that extra enabled. 

You can force a vehicle to always spawn with a particular extra by default, by editing its entry in vehicles.meta to add "required extras". There's instructions in this thread:

Well that didn't work, I did both, I tried modding the vehicles.meta and used the quotes.

 

I wonder what F5544's deal is with slicktops. Jesus, I don't understand why its so hard.

Whenever I added it to the Vehicles.meta, it crashed it, and testing with code 3 wouldn't even spawn.

oh and if you want to see the Vehicles.meta I modded

vehicles.meta

and the vehicles I'm using [about done with F5544]
