Minor re-wording and grammatical fixes.

THANKS!! Thanks for the tutorial!  The LSPDFR community is great :)

@ToastinYou I am having a problem calling the backup function:

Functions.RequestBackup(Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Position, LSPD_First_Response.EBackupResponseType.Pursuit, LSPD_First_Response.EBackupUnitType.LocalUnit);

for some reason it always spawns about 50 vehicles at once..than the game crashes.

Make sure you aren't using he function within a loop. Int call it once.

Do you even know the basics of c#? If yes the tutorial above should have helped you...

can anyone help?

 

Error    CS0246    The type or namespace name 'PursuitinProgress' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)    VultureCallouts   

my bad for bump i fixed 😛

Hey there! Looking to create a callouts plugin of your own? Well, I'm here to help you.

So, let's get started. The requirements are as follows:

1) Have some general knowledge of C#, to learn the basics of C# I recommend reading Sections 1-17 here: http://rbwhitaker.wikidot.com/c-sharp-tutorials

2) Have Visual Studio Community Free, or any other version other than a trial, found here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/visual-studio-homepage-vs.aspx

3) Have the files "RagePluginHookSDK.dll" and "LSPD First Response.dll", found in the downloads of RPH and LSPDFR.

 

Alright, once you have met those requirements, we can move onto the steps of starting your first callouts plugin!

1) Create a folder called "References" anywhere easily accessible to you.

     - In this folder, place your files "RagePluginHookSDK.dll" and "LSPD First Response.dll".

2) Open Visual Studio.

     - Once VS has fully loaded, at the top right click "File", "New", "Project".

     - At the left click the arrows next to "Installed", "Templates", and click on "Visual C#".

     - Then, in the middle box click "Class Library".

     - Under "Name" at the bottom, in the box type whatever you want your project/callouts plugin to be called.

     - Under "Location" choose where you want to save the project, this is recommended to be an easily accessible area.

     - Click "OK".

3) When all loads in, you should get a screen of code like this:

  Reveal hidden contents

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ExamplePlugin
{
    public class Class1
    {
    }
}

 

 

4) First, click "Project" at the top of the screen, then "Add Reference..".

     - A window will pop with a bunch of gibber jabber on it. Click the arrow next to "Browse".

     - At the bottom left, click "Browse.."

     - Once in Windows Explorer, navigate to your folder "References".

    - Hold the left control key and select both the files in the folder References (Rage SDK and LSPD DLL).

    - Make sure both boxes for the two files are ticked. Then, click "OK".

5) At the top of your code where everything says "using blahblah;". Replace all of those with the following lines below:

  Reveal hidden contents

using LSPD_First_Response;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Rage;
using Rage.Native;
using LSPD_First_Response.Mod.API;
using LSPD_First_Response.Mod.Callouts;
using LSPD_First_Response.Engine.Scripting.Entities;
using ExamplePlugin;

 

These basically state what references you're using, simple as that.

6) Over to the right, rename Class1.cs to Main.cs.

7) Then, you need to replace the code below the using statements with the following (explanations in the code, after "//"):

  Reveal hidden contents

public class Main : Plugin
{
    //Initialization of the plugin.
    public override void Initialize()
    {
        //This is saying that when our OnDuty status is changed, it calls for the code to call private static void OnOnDutyStateChangedHandler near the bottom of this page.
        Functions.OnOnDutyStateChanged += OnOnDutyStateChangedHandler;

        //Game.LogTrivial's are used to help you identify problems when debugging a crash with your plugin, so you know exactly what's going on when.

        //This will show in the RagePluginHook.log as "Example Plugin 1.0.0.0 has been initialised." 
        Game.LogTrivial("Example Plugin " + System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString() + " has been initialised.");

        //This one will show in RagePluginHook.log as "Go on duty to fully load Example Plugin."
        Game.LogTrivial("Go on duty to fully load Example Plugin.");
    }
    //This is a simple message saying that Example Plugin has been cleanup.
    public override void Finally()
    {
        Game.LogTrivial("Example Plugin has been cleaned up.");
    }
    //This is called by Functions.OnOnDutyStateChanged as stated above, but only when bool OnDuty is true.
    private static void OnOnDutyStateChangedHandler(bool OnDuty)
    {
        //We have to make sure they are actually on duty so the code can do its work, so we use an "if" statement.
        if (OnDuty)
        {
            //This calls for the method private static void RegisterCallouts() down below.
            RegisterCallouts();

            //This shows a notification at the bottom left, above the minimap, of your screen when you go on duty, stating exactly what's in the quotation marks.
            Game.DisplayNotification("Example Plugin v1.0 has loaded successfully, thank you for downloading!");
        }
    }
    //This is the method that we called earlier in private static void OnOnDutyStateChangedHandler. This registers the callouts we have it setup to register, we'll come back to this after we make our callout.
    private static void RegisterCallouts()
    {

    }
}

 

So this basically concludes our Main.cs file, all we have to do later on, as stated near the end of Main.cs above our method RegisterCallouts(), is register the callouts that we make, which we are about to do.

😎 Next, we need to double click on "Properties" to the right. Under the dropdown box "Target framework:" select .NET Framework 4.6.

     - Then click Control+S and exit the Properties tab.

9) Over to the right, right click on ExamplePlugin and click "Add" then "New Folder", naming it "Callouts".

     - Then, right click on the "Callouts" folder, click "Add" then "Class..".

     - Name it whatever your callout name is, for this example we're going to be creating a simple "Pursuit in Progress" callout, so name it "PursuitinProgress.cs".

10) In it, use this code below:

  Reveal hidden contents

using System;
using Rage;
using Rage.Native;
using LSPD_First_Response.Mod.Callouts;
using LSPD_First_Response.Mod.API;
using LSPD_First_Response.Engine.Scripting.Entities;

//Identify where your Callouts folder is.
namespace ExamplePlugin.Callouts
{
    //Name the callout, and set the probability.
    [CalloutInfo("PursuitinProgress", CalloutProbability.Low)]

    //Let PursuitinProgress inherit the Callout class.
    public class PursuitinProgress : Callout
    {
        public LHandle pursuit;
        public Vector3 SpawnPoint;
        public Blip myBlip;
        public Ped mySuspect;
        public Vehicle myVehicle;

        public override bool OnBeforeCalloutDisplayed()
        {
            //Get a valid spawnpoint for the callout.
            SpawnPoint = World.GetNextPositionOnStreet(Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Position.Around(300f));

            //Create a list of VehicleModels to get them randomly generated.
            Model[] VehicleModels = new Model[]
            {

            };

            //Choose a random vehicle model for myVehicle by using the models we listed above, and spawn it at SpawnPoint.
            myVehicle = new Vehicle(VehicleModels[new Random().Next(VehicleModels.Length)], SpawnPoint);

            //Set myVehicle as persistent, so it doesn't randomly disappear.
            myVehicle.IsPersistent = true;

            //Spawn mySuspect at SpawnPoint.
            mySuspect = new Ped(SpawnPoint);

            //Warp mySuspect into myVehicle, -1 represents the drivers seat.
            mySuspect.WarpIntoVehicle(myVehicle, -1);

            //Set mySuspect as persistent, so it doesn't randomly disappear.
            mySuspect.IsPersistent = true;

            //Block permanent events from mySuspect so they don't react weirdly to different things from GTA V.
            mySuspect.BlockPermanentEvents = true;

            //If for some reason, the spawning of mySuspect failed, don't display the callout.
            if (!mySuspect.Exists()) return false;

            //If the peds are valid, display the area that the callout is in.
            this.ShowCalloutAreaBlipBeforeAccepting(SpawnPoint, 15f);
            this.AddMinimumDistanceCheck(5f, SpawnPoint);

            this.CalloutPosition = SpawnPoint;

            //Play the scanner audio using SpawnPoint to identify "POSITION" stated in "IN_OR_ON_POSITION". These audio files can be found in GTA V > LSPDFR > Police Scanner.

            //This states that if mySuspect exists, then we need to delete it.
            if (mySuspect.Exists()) mySuspect.Delete();

            //This states that if myBlip exists, then we need to delete it.
            if (myBlip.Exists()) myBlip.Delete();
        }

                if (Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Position.DistanceTo(SpawnPoint) <= 100f)

            base.End();
        }
    }
}

 

Everything is explained in the code to help you out. I recommend you experiment with it to change things to your liking.

11) Now, go to Main.cs and under the RegisterCallouts() method you need to add the following:

  Reveal hidden contents

Functions.RegisterCallout(typeof(PursuitinProgress));

 

So, it would end up  being:

//This is the method that we called earlier in private static void OnOnDutyStateChangedHandler. This registers the callouts we have it setup to register, we'll come back to this after we make our callout.
    private static void RegisterCallouts()
    {
        Functions.RegisterCallout(typeof(PursuitinProgress));
    }

 

12) Lastly, double click "Properties" to the right. Then, click "Build" to the left. Under "Platform Target:" select x64.

     - Thank you @Stealth22 for informing me of this!

Save and you're good to go! You got your first callout. You can ultimately expand upon this information I have provided with you to make your own unique callouts plugin!

     - To actually use the plugin, you have to click "Build" at the top of VS, click "Build Solution", make sure there are no errors, then go to wherever your project "ExamplePlugin" is located, go into bin > Debug. There you will find your references that were used and your "ExamplePlugin.dll". Drag and drop this file into GTA V > Plugins > LSPDFR and boot up GTA V! Also, if you want to quickly debug and make solving crashes easier, install "ExamplePlugin.pdb" to the same spot you installed ExamplePlugin.dll.

 

If you have any questions, please ask me!

If I forgot something or messed up something (as expected), please let me know.

 

How to make a passanger? and how to make they holding gun and shoot police from the car.

as you showed us

 

 

PursuitinProgrss.cs is located in Callouts.

so youre code cannot find PursuitinProgrss.cs.

 

        private static void RegisterCallouts()
        {
            Functions.RegisterCallout(typeof(PursuitinProgress));
        }

because of the missing information that PursuitinProgrss.cs is located in Callouts.

so your code should look like this.

        private static void RegisterCallouts()
        {
            Functions.RegisterCallout(typeof(Callouts.PursuitinProgress));
        }

 

that fixes my error. i hope it fixes yours

Edited March 5, 20206 yr by ziipzaaapM16A4

This is when happening when my callout starts i removed the backup because there was something wrong with it that made my game crash and now i think it is something in a loop or something. How do i fix this?

Spoiler

Without seeings any code it's hard to determine what went wrong. But is does look like a loop.

For people who can't find the class library in later versions of Visual Studio, it is called Class Library(.NET Framework) and it is under Visual C#.

This topic was designed to be a guide to creating a simple plugin for LSPDFR. It was not created to be a general dumping ground for everyone's programming issues.

 

I'm locking this thread. If you have any issues, please do the following:

1) RESEARCH your problem, google your error codes. You can type in the basics of your issues and look for answers first.

2) If research fails, REPORT your issue to a new forum thread in the API Development section (here), be precises, and add your code in a code tag (and spoiler if it's large).

3) Continue to research while waiting.

 

If you find the answer yourself, report back to your thread, mark it as solved (type [Solved] in the title) and post your solution for others to find. If someone helps you find the answer, do the same with your title.

 

Every post can be indexed by search engines. So the better your title, the easier people will find solutions in the future.
