Replacing Misty.

[MC_eMS]

Hello,

I am currently working on a GTA III mod, and I need to replace the Misty char with a gang member, in the first mission. How would I go about doing that?

Blast.... from... past...

 

There are two methods that I can think of. YOu can either change the Misty.df model and texture with that of a gang member... or get Bartons mission script editor and change what ped spawns there. I think the latter of the two is easier given 10 minutes of reasearch.

 

Hope that gives you a little direction in which way you want to head. If you have any questions, don't hold back, many people understand the script.

 

Edit - Just read that this is under mission coding... Get the mission editor by Barton Waterduck. In the script is a call for a ped named 'chico' (Drive Misty for me - Oh my, what a memory). You can use that to spawn a gang member, or just look for a trend in how peds are labelled and spawned. Erm, this is kinda a BS post once I realised forum this is... But yeah.

I have the editor, and thank you for the help. May you be rewarded.

Some of the actors are considered special actors. Misty is one of them. In fact, most UNIQUE characters are. You can tell in code because instead of

0247: request_model(#GANG05)...00D6: if( 0?,8248:   NOT   model(#GANG05).available...0129: create_actor( 4?, #GANG05, $LUIGI4_DIABLO) in_car_driverseat($LUIGI4_PIMP_CAR)

...it's done like

023C: load_actor( 2?, "MISTY")...00D6: if( 0?,823D:   NOT   actor( 2?).available...009A: create_actor($MISTY_CHAR,  21?, #SPECIAL02) at( 1144.56!, -592.75!,  13.875!)

 

You'd essentially have to replace the 2nd technique with the first since gang models are not considered special actors.
