SR2 A script from SR The Third to SR 2

[yorpie]

Hello

Some time ago I asked for a script to make police officers shoot out of their patrolcars at notoriety level 3 in Saints Row The Third.

This is the thread:
http://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/npcs-shoot-out-of-car.2664/

Tulip.sniper and IdolNinja helped me out and gave me a script which indeed made the cops fire from their vehicles, for which I'm still very gratefull

However, now that I've gotten into Saints Row 2 I was wondering if the script from mentioned thread could be edited to work in Saints Row 2? I have the SR2_city.lua and tried the script (might sound stupid, but if you don't try, you can't know) which, to my expectations, didn't work. But I don't know what codes SR2 would use for this.

If this could be accomplished, that would be great

This function reference for sr2 might come in handy.

That's kinda strange for not working.
set_cops_shooting_from_vehicles("true or false") function exists in sr2 as well...

Well, this is the script in the sr2_city.lua

Perhaps I made a stupid mistake, I don't know.

There should be the following line inside the sr3_city_main() function:

thread_new("sr3_city_thread_cops_shooting_out_windows")

There should be the following line inside the sr3_city_main() function:

thread_new("sr3_city_thread_cops_shooting_out_windows")

After a few tries, I managed to place the script and you code line in the right order Works like a charm now.

Thank you.

EDIT:

I was looking at the page that was linked in IdolNinja his post and I found this line: 'player_is_in_vehicle'

So I replaced the 'mission_is_active' with that line, because I don't mind the script being active during missions.

This however didn't work. Is the 'player in vehicle' line for other purposes? I was expecting cops to shoot me while on foot and not when I'm in a vehicle, because the script really looks like its supposed to do that, but instead the police just kept shooting me.

I don't mind this offcoarse but that line from that page did got me curious though

Replace:

if (mission_is_active() == false) then

with:

if (not player_is_in_vehicle("#PLAYER1#") ) then

The cops will shoot you from their vehicles only when you are on foot if you do this.

Nope man, that doesn't do it :/

But, it doesn't matter, if it can't be done thats okay, my original request has been handled so I'm happy

Thanks for the help.
