Are there any mods out there that give the ped/ai a chance(even if it's a small chance) that they'll decide enough is enough and surrender them self in the pursuit? Or even decide to stop and maybe not give up, but even worse, decide to stop and open fire on you? I feel like pursuits would be more interesting and diverse if the AI could decide "I'm not getting away, may as well surrender" or "I can't get away, but they won't take me alive!" kind of thing.

 

Right now it's kind of like "well we're in pursuit, I either chaotically use whatever is around me (light posts, buildings, innocent vehicles) to get him to stop, or hope he flips his car somehow" I know there are things like the spike strip and roadblock plugins, but what about the behavior I mentioned above? Anything like that?

To my knowledge, there isn't a mod that makes the AI "think" for themselves when in a pursuit.  Sometimes if they wreck their vehicle they will get out and flee on foot.  There is the Pursuit Deterrence mod.  This will let you try and yell through the loudspeaker of your car to tell a suspect to stop running.   If it works, they will stop the car and essentially surrender.  It doesn't always work, the chance of which they surrender is random, I believe.

Well I'm not asking them to think for themselves, as they're video game AI, heh. But like everything else (I think), there is a "chance" parameter in the available API isn't there? in pseudo code (not actual syntax) <ped chance="10" getOutAndShoot> kind of thing. I don't know, just brainstorming and thinking of ways that we as a community could make pursuits more dynamic and less predictable. Believe it or not I'm a programmer of 12 years, but have 0 modding skill, so I'm not sure of the limitations here.

1. no there is no such thing in the api

2. you could create something that changes the behavior but no one gives two craps about that at the moment.

3. if you are "a programmer of 12 years"  then do something instead of asking others to do it for you

Nowhere did I ask anyone to do this for me. I simply asked if it had been done yet or not so that in the event that I do decide to attempt such a thing, I'm not wasting my time. Appreciate your reply though.....
