Got the script working (Almost)
When I stop a car (using "S"), the car stops as expected and the picture somehow freezes (Normal, I
presume)
But how do I make the car go into reverse?

EDIT:
Just read the script through and I saw that by using "e", you switch between reverse and forward.

I'm glad you got it working. Yes, unfortunately the camera freezing is normal. I don't know how to fix that.

The key to switch gears is actually Tab. You can change it by editing this part of the script: "e.Key == Keys.Tab". Just replace Tab with any key in this list: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sy...forms.keys.aspx

Ah okay. Thx!
Btw. Is it possible to make this script compatible with an XBOX 360 controller?

[AngryAmoeba]

It may be possible, but I personally don't know how to do it.

ULTRA BUMP.

I just learned how to fix that camera freezing bug.

A simple native function: SET_CAMERA_CONTROLS_DISABLED_WITH_PLAYER_CONTROLS

I've updated the code that I posted on page 1, and below are just the two functions that were updated:

CODE

public void freezeCar() {        if (bFrozen) return;        GTA.Native.Function.Call("SET_CAMERA_CONTROLS_DISABLED_WITH_PLAYER_CONTROLS", 0);        Player.CanControlCharacter = false;        bFrozen = true;        if (bReverse) Game.DisplayText("Switch gears to drive forward");        else Game.DisplayText("Switch gears to reverse");    }    public void unfreezeCar() {        if (!bFrozen) return;        GTA.Native.Function.Call("SET_CAMERA_CONTROLS_DISABLED_WITH_PLAYER_CONTROLS", 1);        Player.CanControlCharacter = true;        bFrozen = false;    }

can i ask if there is a fix for this script? a fix that can make the AI cars move with freedom near me because when i continously press the brake button the AI cars neaby stops aswell.... or is there any script that contains auto brake light feature? like in mafia 2 wherein when the car is fully stopped the brake light is automatically turned on... it does not disappear... unlike in IV, it disappears, unless you use this script but nearby AI will stop as well....

Yeah, that's a very unfortunate side-effect of taking control away from the player — the police are also forced to stop. That's just how the CanControlCharacter and SET_PLAYER_CONTROL functions work...

Physically freezing the player's vehicle looks strange, since it doesn't rock on its suspension when you stop, but it would allow the police to move normally. If you'd like to try that, I think you can just replace these two things:

CODE

GTA.Native.Function.Call("SET_CAMERA_CONTROLS_DISABLED_WITH_PLAYER_CONTROLS", 0); Player.CanControlCharacter = false;

CODE

GTA.Native.Function.Call("SET_CAMERA_CONTROLS_DISABLED_WITH_PLAYER_CONTROLS", 1); Player.CanControlCharacter = true;

with these:

CODE

Player.Character.CurrentVehicle.FreezePosition = true;

CODE

Player.Character.CurrentVehicle.FreezePosition = false;

thats better... thx for the help.....

First off, if any of you are still willing to respond to this tread, I would like to request permission from the owner/creator to use the code you have posted (as a mod). Secondly, I would like to request your permission to modify it. Thirdly, I would like to know how I can mod it for the game controller controls, rather than the keyboard. I do not know C#, and I don't know how to write mods either. If you would be so kind, could you possibly re-code your mod to include the Xbox 360 Left trigger for brake, Right Trigger for throttle, and Right Bumper for shifting gears? Or tell me how I kind find a tutorial on doing that, or something?

Thank you all very much for any responses I get back to this outdated thread. I appreciate it.

To make it compatible with XBOX 360 controller, somehow you have to implement the keystrokes as <code>if (GTA.Game.isGameKeyPressed(GTA.GameKey.MoveForward))</code> or something like that. You can find a list of those codeNames in the documentation for the latest scripthook. I'm not sure exactly which button name you would use for the triggers, but I'm sure some one of any intelligence could figure it out through trial and error if they only knew how to impliment the code for the game controller instead of the keyboard. I am trying to work this out myself, but I am very, very new to C#... I only really have any experience in JavaScript... If somebody would be willing to help out, that would be great.
