Getting persona data through LSPDFR computer w/o ped

[Fiskey111 788]

Hi guys!

Just curious if its possible to access the LSPDFR name database without a Ped, similar to typing in the name in the computer.  I'd like to add this to the MDT, if it's not possible I can just generate a list and make it pull random first/last names & DOBs.

Thanks!

using LSPD_First_Response.Engine.Scripting.Entities;
	String fullname = Persona.GetRandomFullName();

If you know a ped with that name exists, you can do something like this (syntax off the top of my head):

foreach (Ped ped in World.GetAllPeds()) 
{
	if (ped.Exists()) {

		Persona pers = Functions.GetPersonaForPed(ped);
		if (pers.FullName == NameUserEntered) 
		{
			return pers;
		}
	}
}

I use something similar for my British Policing Script and I think the LSPDFR computer uses a similar method to this as well.

Ahhhh okay, so that would return the info for that specific ped the person had stopped then, just like the LSPDFR computer?  That makes sense!  Thank you!

Not sure what you're talking about/asking.  This is used in a separate plugin that doesn't utilize the LSPDFR callout system.

What is this used in?

This is used in my MDT (in my signature below).  I don't recall where I called it -- it's somewhere in a class used after the player types in a name of a ped into the text box.
