I've searched around and not found anything on this, maybe I'm just bad at looking...but...

How do I set a Ped as wanted by the LSPD in the LSPDFR police computer? Aka so if I check their ID, they will show up as wanted.

 

Thank you!

You don't set up people as wanted. They're either wanted or they're not.

This is the development forum, the devs can magically change this kind of thing ^.^

To set the ped as wanted, use Functions.SetPersonaForPed to set LSPDFR computer persona for the ped. This allows you to set the ped as wanted amongst other things.

I recommend you check out my guide that documents the API too:

What if I make a plugin just so you can set peds as wanted hmm? :P

Thank you! I knew it had to be possible, I just didn't see where. Also somehow missed that link lol. Thank you very much!

Yeah my bad, I'm just used to people asking so many stupid silly questions, it goes to my head.

They're everywhere.

I know it.

We really do need a Functions.SetPedAsWanted(bool) or a way to set ped.isWanted, though.

You could write your own extension method that would do this.

Actually that's a great idea. I'm going to do that in my plugins :D Thank you!

I've just gotten around to messing with this, and I still can't seem to figure it out. The Wanted property of Persona is read only...

EDIT: Nevermind, I can just copy the attributes of the current Persona into a new Persona :D

Did you ever get around to writing that extension method? I'm still slightly new to this, and need to change the wanted status of peds in my callout.

Basically, here is some example code:

 

private Persona PedPersona;

private DateTime PedOneBirthday;

private Ped PedOne;

 

PedOne = new Ped("MODEL", Coords, Heading);

PedOneBirthday = new DateTime(*year, month, day*);

PedPersona = new Persona(*enter details here, include the PedOneBirthday variable in the birthday part of the constructor*);

Functions.SetPersonaForPed(PedOne, PedPersona);

 

And voila, you can now set peds as wanted, whether they are agents or cops, you can set their name, gender, age, citation amount, stop amount, etc.

I know how to get a Peds persona, create one, and set one... but is there a way to copy all the information from a randomly spawned peds persona into a new persona except to change the wanted flag? I'm developing an arrest warrant call out where I want the spawned ped to always come up as wanted.

Why don't you make a ped persona and use the GetRandomFullName function, as well as generating random ints for things like citations, stops, age, etc?

Here is a random int code example:

 

Random rnd = new Random();

int randomInt = 0;

 

randomInt = rnd.Next(*MINIMUM*, *MAXIMUM*);

EDIT: The GetRandomFullName function is located in Persona class.

 

Persona.GetRandomFullName();

            pedBirth = new DateTime(1967, 8, 22);
            cited = Cite.Next(0, 6);
            stop = Stopped.Next(0, 10);
            pedPersona = new Persona(suspect, LSPD_First_Response.Gender.Random, pedBirth, cited, Persona.GetRandomFullName(), Persona.GetRandomFullName(), ELicenseState.Valid, stop, true, false, false);

Thanks for your help and sorry for my ignorance, lol. But is something like this correct?

Take a look at this: https://gist.github.com/drsn0w/4a8554ffe157513f4081389462ae73e0

 

EDIT: Obviously go ahead and change the namespace since mine says RoutinePoliceWork :)

Thank you! I was thinking about it last night and figured it would be something like this. Good luck on your callouts and thank you once again!
