I put this as a request in the GitHub repo, but I thought I'd post it here too.

I'm not sure if there's already a way to do this programmatically, but it would be nice if there was a function we could call that would put a ped into that 'stopped' state where you can interact with them. Like when you hold 'E' to stop a ped, or when you ask a driver to step out of their vehicle. You can either interact (ask for ID/cite/warn) with them by pressing 'E', or place them under arrest by holding 'E'.

Can we have a function that would do this? I found SetPedAsArrested(Rage.Ped) in the API namespace, but I don't think that does the same thing, based on the name of the function. (I haven't tried it yet, though.)

@LMS?

Ped.Tasks.Pause ? or isn't that what you're looking for

That will pause the ped (though in my experience it doesnt seem to work too well, .StandStill seems to be more reliable)..... what Stealth is asking for is a way to add the ped to a "traffic stop" (not necessarily a "traffic" stop, but the "stopped by police" state they go into when you first hold E/DPadRight). It'd mean for example, when you roll up to a callout the ped would already be "stopped" allowing you to press E/DPadRight to get their ID, without doing the whole "stopping" step first.

On a similar note, does SetPedAsArrested make them go through the arrest animations? Will the built-in suspect transport come get them automatically?

No.

I appreciate your suggestion and I also saw it on the repo, but please don't expect this happening anytime soon. My current schedule doesn't really allow any development (not that this is a huge change, but generally).

No worries, whenever you get to it.
