Here's something I'd like to share with you all. I've been tying to find a game's engine names for free-roaming NPCs so we can have even more fun with Sandbox+. By executing this two snippets of code:
Awesome stuff
Works on all (even DLC ) vehicles. Test results to follow.
Works with SB+ Change team feature.
2 door car = 2 followers
4 door car 3 followers (any less and you and the car won't drive, but you can shoot.
1 Motorcyles = 1 follower
2 motorcyles = 3 followers.
Your driver is 01__npc_ pierce_000
Each driver has different habits as in RL.
Driver 1 (Kitty Car) mowed down peds and drove like a maniac.
Driver 2 (Bloody Baroness) Stopped for every friggin light and waited for peds to cross the road. Also drove quite slow.
I'm going to go to the airport to see if they will pilot a plane
This is definitely staying in my game
Airport Test. Massive potential.
Helcopters & Jets just sit with engine running but you know your follower has control because you can't fly.
Woodpecker falls aparts (funny stuff) it doesn't explode, just breaks into 4 pieces and you and your pilot are still sitting in it
More on Driving;
Normal Saints team member
Transport = Kenshin
Dismounted from bike, dismissed crew. Mounted bike and I was still pillion passenger. Got off the bike, dismissed crew member stole it.
Funny Awesome Stuff;
After my crew member took my wheels, I jumped a passing pony cart (with no crew) and became passenger. LOL Mad Fun lobbing grens at all asundry while being towed in a rickshaw. I guess this means you can be a passengers if you jack a vehicle from the passengers side.
Yes you can
I took a taxi hopping into to the passengers side after activating 7+Delete, You can't give him directions though LOL Pressing 7+Home did not give his title though. Next I'm going to try a rival gangs vehicle and a cop car.
PMSL
Got into passengers side of cop car, he turned on his siren, stopped the car and got out and drew his gun (my toon got out on her own w/o my help) the cop then holstered his gun got in the cop car and drove off.
Getting into a gang members car (namely Luchadore) crashed the game. I will try this again.
The crash was not caused by the mod. After reloading my save file, I hopped into a Morning Star criminal and driven around until I shot at a another Morning Star vehicle. Once the vehicle caught up, my driver ran off and once again. my toon got out of the vehicle w/o assistance from me.
I'm currently in a Decker vehicle (as passenger) while being chased by other Decker & Police!
Caveat's;
Game becomes very slow the more you play with it. Not unexpected due to the amount of activity being processed. Having some way of clearing the game cache could fix this.
Can't turn if off once your a passenger but you can go to Rim Jobs, select a vehicle and become its driver.
In summary, the code seems to be very stable with no adverse effects other than slowing the frame rate by a small margin with excessive use. Turning the graphics down for a few minutes will fix this.
Recommended Mod NPC Behavior Spawns by Shitface! This really adds to the fun and your driver may leave you sitting in the vehicle while he beats the crap out the npc who rear ended him.
Kudos to BadMadScientist for this awsesome and fun addition to SB+
