Is there a way to make npcs stop behind my car? When I stop at a red light they all think there's no driver in my car and they try to overtake me. I've found out that I have to move forward a bit (even a press on the forward key button will do) and then their timer starts again. They wait for about 3 seconds then they try to overtake. A simple mod would do when you stop your car, niko would automatically hit the break pedals and npcs wouldn't overtake you. Yeah yeah I know, wtf you stop at red lights? Well yeah sometimes when I'm roleplaying in a taxi cab or whatever I'd like

It's ok to stop at red light lol, that's why they were made. I like to stop once in a while and be a "good" person. I would also like this mod...

[a-k-t-w]

I think the stupidity of the peds is hilarious!

[dukee152]

ya well i like to keep my cars clean and i love the stupidity of the peds so we will have to fix that bug but make them stupider at another task

[AngryAmoeba]

I notice this all the time too. A fix would be awesome. And yeah sometimes I like to just cruise around without driving on the sidewalks and running red lights, especially when someone else is in the car and there's some dialogue going.

i hope that too its not feel real please ALEX or other make that mod that fix that!

You could using the .net script hook. Write a script that, gets the NPC behind your car (a certain distance and only facing a certain heading and your speed = 0). And freeze the position of that car, until you start to move away.

[Hergonan]

You can get the vehicle behind you by using getrandomvehicle behind you (and using your car's angles to define "behind") etc
hmmm
I can take a look at it.
After I finish my two projects

[Rob.Zombie]

That'd be so great. I would help you out but I don't know anything about scripting (no lua script, no .net scripts no nothing)
Or maybe if some1 could just actually make Niko use the break when the vehicle is stopped. I think this might stop the vehicles behind us since every npc hits the break when it is stopped (you can see it by the red light)

I don't think there is a brake. I've tried holding Accelerate and Reverse down at the same time and its not worked.

[Tuhnafisch]

i`m also very interisted(?) in this mOd i like to play as a "good" i would say normal civilian from LC

[dukee152]

also somtimes when i park the people dont go around me they just stop the car and honk

[Rob.Zombie]

Really? Maybe the worst thing is that when they try to overtake me, but they fail. Like hitting my car. I'm so pissed that sometimes I get out of my car and shoot the bitch in the head. And it'd be great if some1 could make the npcs drive a little better. Like the light is red and npc is approaching the light with 80 Km/s and trys to stop in the last second, so npc can't stop and passes the red light. This always occur at Star Junction for me. If we could only change their reaction time (or I dunno what)

[Shof]

i had at various time, another car rear end my car when i stopped at a red light. Then that driver will drag niko out of my car to start a fight as if i caused the accident

Alright give this a try -> http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=5601

It uses the .net script hook 0.86. Just put the file into the scripts folder. Hopefully it will stop the peds from running into the back of you, they'll still get pissed off at waiting and attempt to either run into or or drive past you, this just sets the peds speed to 0 when it detects them trying that.

At the moment if you get close enough to a car while driving, they'll stop too. Only at the side of you though.

Gangsta are you using getclosestcar with your own xyz?

[Andrew]

I'm using the GetClosestCar with the players position and a radius of about 6. function of the scripthook. Sadly this will even return closest cars to the side of you as well. Providing they are in the same heading as you. I'm going to change it to only come into effect when you're speed is slow.

[Hergonan]

Why not get your car rotation, flip its axes to get your behind, then use a smaller radius to get npcs only behind you?

[Andrew]

Hmm that could work better.

[HazardX]

I tried it that way. Seems to work great:

CODE

Imports System Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports System.Collections.Generic Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Imports GTA Public Class HaltBehindScript   Inherits Script   Private list As New List(Of Vehicle)   Private bStopped As Boolean = False   Private offset As New Vector3(0.0F, -4.0F, 0.0F)   Public Sub New()      'Interval = 250   End Sub   Private Sub HaltBehindScript_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Tick      Dim v As Vehicle = Player.Character.CurrentVehicle      If v Is Nothing Then         If bStopped Then Disable()         Return      End If      If Not bStopped Then         If v.Speed >= 1.0F Then Return         bStopped = True      Else         If v.Speed >= 2.0F Then            Disable            Return         End If      End If      CheckForNewCar(v.GetOffsetPosition(offset))      ProcessCars()   End Sub   Private Sub Disable()      bStopped = False      list.Clear()   End Sub   Private Sub CheckForNewCar(ByVal Position As Vector3)      Dim v As Vehicle = World.GetClosestVehicle(Position, 3.0F)      If v Is Nothing OrElse list.Contains(v) Then Return      list.Add(v)      v.SetMetadata("maxspeed", False, v.Speed)   End Sub   Private Sub ProcessCars()      Dim CurrentSpeed As Single      Dim MaxSpeed As Single      For Each v As Vehicle In list         CurrentSpeed = v.Speed         MaxSpeed = v.GetMetadata(Of Single)("maxspeed", False)         If CurrentSpeed < MaxSpeed Then            v.SetMetadata("maxspeed", False, CurrentSpeed)         ElseIf CurrentSpeed > MaxSpeed Then            v.Speed = MaxSpeed         End If      Next   End Sub End Class

It checks only behind the car and also will not lower vehicle speeds, but instead just don't allow them to accelerate again.
