Hi there everyone,
After countless hours of searching for solutions and testing today I have finally decided to ask for help since none of the other solutions are working for me.
To sum up the problem I am facing:
I pull up behind a car and press LShift
I see the red blip on the map indicating that the car has been "marked"
I press E as indicated by the prompt to initiate the traffic stop but the car just honks and nothing happens (Only with ELS vehicles)
*It's important to note that this only happens with ELS vehicles - I tested with vanila police vehicles and the traffic stop worked like a charm. I also noticed that nobody moves out of the way when I go full blast lights and sirens.
From what I have read is that you need to have FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT and FLAG_EMERGENCY_SERVICE in your vehicles.meta file in order for the traffic stop functionality to work.
I have double checked and the mentioned flags are present in the vehicles.meta
I also read that you should change this setting in ELS.ini in order to stop the vehicles from driving in a straight line and just crashing (ElsTrafCtrlOn = false)
I have not been playing for about two years so my installation is fresh and I have the following mods/files installed:
LSPD First Response 0.4.9 (Build 8747)
ScriptHook V (v1.0.3095.0)
Gameconfig.xml for LML or manual install by RDE Team 3095
HeapAdjuster
PackfileLimitAdjuster
Emergency Lighting System 1.05
OpenIV
BMW M5! [NON-ELS]-[ELS] [Add-on / Replace | FiveM-Ready] Non els Version
The BMW M5 is installed as an Add-on not a replacement using the ELS variant.
I tried installing it via dlcpacks which worked (without the ability to perform a traffic stop) and then I tried installing the Modding DLC Pack V 1.2.0.0 way, but the problem still remains.
I have tried it with another vehicle just to double check but I still have the same problem - unable to initiate a traffic stop.
Am I missing something important or am I doing it incorrectly?
UPDATE:
I decided to test something else and it worked.
In the carvariations.meta file I changed the sirenSetting from
<sirenSettings value="0" />
to
<sirenSettings value="1" />
This fixed the issue and I can now pull vehicles over and they register when I go full blast lights and sirens
