Taxi Mod (nee help)
- Thread starter Illusive Saint
- Start date
My attempts in making a taxi for sanbdox+ were also unsuccessful. I tried to call for a homie, teleport him to some destination, turn myself into a passenger and let the NPC-driven car "chase" that homie. It seems that there's no way to teleport a homie, however... Of course, this is a work-around, but I thought of it as a proof of concept.
Forget about my last post... I actually got it to work. The trick was to keep the follower in DNBO state so engine doesn't teleport him/her back to player or wipe out from the memory. I'm including an overview snippet here and a full sandbox+ version that includes my stuff as well - it's mandatory to use this taxi thing while riding as passenger.
Another thing, just to make it clear: it's a workaround for a taxi. It's working, but needs pretty extensive (too extensive probably) input from player. It's more like a proof of concept than "Yay, I'm so pr0, I made a working taxi for you!!!111oneoneeleven".
And the instruction manual:
You need at least two followers. Enter the car as a passenger (6 + semicolon) and enter the car. You don't have to wait for your fellows to start driving - just press F + [. You teleported your 2nd Follower far away! Also, "revival needed" box should appear. Now wait for your homie to start driving. If he/she doesn't feel like grabbng the driving wheel, press 6 and semicolon again. When you're on the move, tap F + ]. Here you go!
Misc info:
- Most probably you'll run out of revival time. Press F + up arrow to reset that timer.
- You can change driving destintion whenever you want - just tap F + [ and choose your location (as for now, three destination are avaible for testing purposes)
- The code attached isn't bug free. It has its issues but on the other hand, please remember - it's just for presenting the idea...

1. You done really good job!
2. I looked in "sr3_city.lua" that you attached and I found you added line "reticle_override_set("sp_vtol01_w", "WPNCAT_RIFLE", SYNC_LOCAL)" to "add_superpowers" command. After I enabled superpowers reticle from TTwC mission appeared. In normal Sandbox+ it is not appears. So, you also updated superpowers.
I attached sr3_city.lua that I'm using in normal gameplay. This line of code just happened to be there as a personal tweak.2.
