This is a new plugin I'm working on. It aims to expand the functionality of new vehicles, in a centralized manner, so, hopefully, you won't end up needing a different plugin/script for each function vehicle models authors want to implement in their models.

Currently, the vehicles are configured via XML files, alongside the changes needed in the model itself. So, no, it doesn't support already released models.

 

Current Gadgets

• Ladder
  Spoiler

  This gadget will allow you to add a working ladder to your model, which can be controlled via the NumPad.

   

   

  XML Entry Example:

  Spoiler

  
  
      <Entry xsi:type="Ladder">
        <Base>
          <BoneName>ladder_base</BoneName>
          <RotationSpeed>11</RotationSpeed>
          <RotationAxis X="0" Y="0" Z="1" />
        </Base>
        <Main>
          <BoneName>ladder_main_0</BoneName>
          <RotationSpeed>11</RotationSpeed>
          <RotationAxis X="1" Y="0" Z="0" />
          <MinAngle>0</MinAngle>
          <MaxAngle>65</MaxAngle>
        </Main>
        <ExtensionParts>
          <Entry>
            <BoneName>ladder_main_1</BoneName>
            <MoveSpeed>3</MoveSpeed>
            <ExtensionDistance>6</ExtensionDistance>
          </Entry>
        </ExtensionParts>
        <Bucket>
          <BoneName>ladder_bucket</BoneName>
          <RotationSpeed>10</RotationSpeed>
          <RotationAxis X="1" Y="0" Z="0" />
          <MinAngle>-85</MinAngle>
          <MaxAngle>85</MaxAngle>
        </Bucket>
      </Entry>

   

   

• Outriggers
  Spoiler

  This one, adds animated outrrigers that can extend and retract by pressing a key.

   

   

  XML Entry Example:

  Spoiler

  
  
      <Entry xsi:type="Outriggers">
        <LeftOutriggers>
          <Outrigger>
            <HorizontalBoneName>outr_out_l1</HorizontalBoneName>
            <VerticalBoneName>outr_down_l1</VerticalBoneName>
            <HorizontalDistance>0.8</HorizontalDistance>
            <HorizontalMoveSpeed>0.625</HorizontalMoveSpeed>
            <VerticalDistance>0.48</VerticalDistance>
            <VerticalMoveSpeed>0.625</VerticalMoveSpeed>
          </Outrigger>
          <Outrigger>
            <HorizontalBoneName>outr_out_l2</HorizontalBoneName>
            <VerticalBoneName>outr_down_l2</VerticalBoneName>
            <HorizontalDistance>0.8</HorizontalDistance>
            <HorizontalMoveSpeed>0.625</HorizontalMoveSpeed>
            <VerticalDistance>0.48</VerticalDistance>
            <VerticalMoveSpeed>0.625</VerticalMoveSpeed>
          </Outrigger>
        </LeftOutriggers>
        <RightOutriggers>
          <Outrigger>
            <HorizontalBoneName>outr_out_r1</HorizontalBoneName>
            <VerticalBoneName>outr_down_r1</VerticalBoneName>
            <HorizontalDistance>0.8</HorizontalDistance>
            <HorizontalMoveSpeed>0.625</HorizontalMoveSpeed>
            <VerticalDistance>0.48</VerticalDistance>
            <VerticalMoveSpeed>0.625</VerticalMoveSpeed>
          </Outrigger>
          <Outrigger>
            <HorizontalBoneName>outr_out_r2</HorizontalBoneName>
            <VerticalBoneName>outr_down_r2</VerticalBoneName>
            <HorizontalDistance>0.8</HorizontalDistance>
            <HorizontalMoveSpeed>0.625</HorizontalMoveSpeed>
            <VerticalDistance>0.48</VerticalDistance>
            <VerticalMoveSpeed>0.625</VerticalMoveSpeed>
          </Outrigger>
        </RightOutriggers>
      </Entry>

   

   

• Radar
  Spoiler

  This one is similar to the already existing VEHICLE_WEAPON_RADAR from the vanilla game, except it doesn't take a vehicle weapon slot and you can modify the rotation speed.  

   

  XML Entry Example:

  Spoiler

  
  
      <Entry xsi:type="Radar">
        <BoneName>radar_part</BoneName>
        <RotationSpeed>5</RotationSpeed>
        <RotationAxis X="0" Y="0" Z="1" />
      </Entry>

   

   

 

TODO:

• Implement collisions, so, for example, you can climb up the ladder.
• Add more gadgets.

Any vehicle developer interested on implementing this plugin, with the current gadgets or with an idea for a new gadget, can contact me to discuss the implementation details, or if the gadget idea is possible.

This stuff is awesome and  can't wait to see more development!

How does the radar work? Can axis rotation be for any axis? Like if I wanted something to rotate the Y for one model, but X for another could i?

Yes, you can do that.

Looks promising alex! As for a suggestion, me and Thehurk were just talking about this the other day, could Starchase's GPS launcher somehow be implemented into this?  If you aren't familiar I'll link a video and the website. Could be an awesome addition to patrol cars and gameplay!

Yes, that can be implemented.

Though, not really sure about how the dart object can be done, maybe some prop model similar already exists in the game files, or a custom add-on prop is needed, or it could be part of the vehicle model, I will have to think about it.

So guys, first off make sure you have an account with AppVeyor. Then you'll be able to download the zip for it 🙂

The Vehicle Gadgets+.dll & Vehicle Gadgets+.pdb should be placed in "Grand Theft Auto V > plugins"

I made an account with appveyor and I've had no luck downloading the zip

Can't make an account that I have found so far, can log in as an account holder or as a developer, but if you aren't registered, you can't register. Unless I am missing something (quite possible).

Can't wait to test it!

Hey Alex,

First up thank you for making this for the community. I do however have a question for you. Where do we put the .xml's? Do we put it in the plugins folder with the .dll? Or do we need to create a folder like we do with ELS? Thank you.

Has anybody tried this with fivem yet?
