Yo,

I recently downloaded the Tumbler and Batpod models and I'm having a blast rocking around in them. I'd like to do vigilante missions from the vehicles though to replicate the whole chasing criminals thing.

I know a few Batman conversions offer this, but they also add a lot of crap I don't want. is there any way to make any vehicle do vigilante missions? Is it as simple as editing a cfg file?

Thanks, any help would be great

You should be able to edit the main.scm file and make it work. Search for the vigilante mission trigger and where it says

CODE

00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #POLICE 00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #ENFORCER 00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #RHINO 00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #FBICAR

add your car.

CODE

00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #POLICE 00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #ENFORCER 00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #RHINO 00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #FBICAR 00DE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #BATPOD

Also, if it says

CODE

80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #POLICE 80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #ENFORCER 80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #RHINO 80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #FBICAR

add your car

CODE

80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #POLICE 80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #ENFORCER 80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #RHINO 80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #FBICAR 80DE:   not player $PLAYER_CHAR driving_vehicle_type #BATPOD

Same thing anywhere it checks what the player is driving.

Note this code is just an example I pulled from a III scm, SA will be slightly different but the same principle applies.

The problem is, SA has one opcode for checking all police vehicles. Luckily, Hunter isn't considered as a police vehicle, so he needs to change all instances of

CODE

if or 056C:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #HUNTER

to

CODE

if or 056C:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #HUNTER 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #BATPOD

Also the global R3 check needs to be expanded:

CODE

:R3_110 if or 0602:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_taxi 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #AMBULAN 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #FIRETRUK 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #HUNTER 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #BOXBURG 056C:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car else_jump @R3_2901

->

CODE

:R3_110 if or 0602:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_taxi 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #AMBULAN 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #FIRETRUK 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #HUNTER 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #BATPOD 00DD:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #BOXBURG 056C:   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car else_jump @R3_2901

The same applies to negated checks, all instances of

CODE

if and 856C:   not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car 80DD:   not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #HUNTER

need to be changed to

CODE

if and 856C:   not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_police_car 80DD:   not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #HUNTER 80DD:   not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving_car_with_model #BATPOD

The problem is, as you were messing with R3 thread (expanding COPCAR mission is fine), you need to start a new game. There IS a workaround for it though - it's possible to port the R3 script into CLEO script and cut it down to only starting Vigilante when you're in your custom vehicle.
