Hey Experts of the LSPDFR API,

 

What do you all think is the best method for detecting whether the player has initiated a traffic stop?

I want to run some code every time the user pulls someone over.

I'm familiar with adding callouts, but wasn't too sure what the best method for this was.

 

Help is greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Some Context:

 

To clarify, I'm able to do what I've described above, I've just been using a while(true) loop in the Main.cs file (iniated by "if (OnDuty)") to constantly check if the player is in a traffic stop, however I wasn't sure if I was doing it in an inefficient way, and perhaps there was a better way?

 

Code attached below for context:

 

		private static void OnOnDutyStateChangedHandler(bool OnDuty)
        {
            if (OnDuty)
            {
                PulloverCheck();     
            }
        }

        private static void PulloverCheck()
        {
            GameFiber.StartNew(delegate
            {

            while (true)
            {
                GameFiber.Yield();
                while (true)
                {
                    GameFiber.Yield();
                    if (Functions.IsPlayerPerformingPullover() && pulloverCheck == false)
                    {
                        Game.DisplayNotification("Pullover Detected");
                        pullover = Functions.GetCurrentPullover();
                        PulloverPed = Functions.GetPulloverSuspect(pullover);                                             
                        GameFiber.Wait(10000);
                        PulloverPed.PlayAmbientSpeech(null, "GENERIC_THANKS", 0, SpeechModifier.Force);
                        break;
                        }
                    }
                    Game.DisplayNotification("1");
                    pulloverCheck = true;
                    Game.DisplayNotification(Boolean.TrueString);

                    GameFiber.Yield();
              
                    while (true)
                    {
                        GameFiber.Yield();
                        if (!Functions.IsPlayerPerformingPullover() && pulloverCheck == true)
                        {
                            pulloverCheck = false;
                            break;
                        }
                    }

                }
                GameFiber.Hibernate();

            });
        }

 

Also curious if I'm using GameFiber.Yield correctly - not entirely sure if I need it as many times as I have it.

Cheers again!

Never put a loop within a loop..

Especially not a loop within a loop within a loop lol.

Yes, I had noticed that since I last posted and have removed - cheers for the reminder!

I am not entirely sure what you're asking, but Functions.IsPlayerPerformingPullover works.

I would use an event, and invoke it whenever you register a pullover. Then, use a method that includes your code you want to run. Lastly, add your method to your event.

 

Look up events.

Thanks all! Think I got what I need!
