So obviously not everything made the cut for 0.4. And one I'm sad to see not there is the Scenario (included in quote) feature which was featured quiet significantly in the ''The Technology'' 0.4 News update.

Scenarios

 

Sticking with the topic of improvements to a lot of the technology that powers LSPDFR, we've added all new functionality throughout the mod for custom Scenarios.  In general, we like to think of Scenarios as short ambient sequences which can just spontaneously happen within the world.  In addition to this, though, we also support Scenarios across a couple of our other systems, like both pursuits and traffic stops.  This opens up a bunch of new opportunities for gameplay as just like in real life, there's now so much more that could happen during a traffic stop.  Perhaps they exit their vehicle while you're approaching?  Do they have a weapon, or are they just angry and complaining?

 

 

From 'routine' traffic stops gone totally wrong to suspects ditching their cars and bailing, Scenarios add all new depth to LSPDFR.

 

The best bit about Scenarios, though, is that we've also added them to the LSPDFR 0.4 API, and while we've come up with a few of our own, we know that there's many developers who will knock it out of the park in their attempts to find new and interesting ways of enhancing the experience with Scenarios.   Be it by creating new situations that can happen during traffic stops, devising new ways that pursuit suspects will attempt to elude officers, or even by taking advantage of some of the other additions to 0.4, like the Crime System for example, to add a bunch of new ambient crimes throughout the game, we think that the new Scenario system will add much more depth and variety to LSPDFR.

 

 

The scene after an escaped pursuit suspect's burned out vehicle was located.

 

 

 

I understand LSPDFR is not made by a game company but rather a few talented and passionate coders/modders with limited time, and this post is not to bash on anything, but is this feature still something thats being worked on, or did it prove too complex? The unpredictability of traffic stops sounded so interesting.

Im pretty sure the system is still in place.

 

I've had people get out of their car and begin shooting, begin shooting as I approach and drive off, give up after being pitted, etc.

 

I believe all of those are tied to the scenario system as described.

I think I've experienced one so far, some guy blew up his car during a traffic stop.

yes i think it's already implemented in the current release

the thing that's still in progress is to make API for scenario so plugin dev can make their own scenario. please cmiiw

Hmm interesting, maybe I was a bit too hasty but I've done over 20 or so traffic stops and none of them had anything special happen. If it does happen i'll edit this post 😉 .
