[GRINCH ASS BITCH]

Since the title got cut off: [PSA]You can force the AI to use the heist vehicles in the Content Creator!!!

For my fellow SP gamers that are bummed about the update, here's a simple workaround (that I personally think is actually more fun than playing as Trevor/Michael/Franklin in SP):

Go to the Content Creator and select "create a capture" or whatever (there are options for deathmatch/last team standing/race/and capture). Then choose to create a "Contend" match (although I'm pretty sure it works with the other options since it's only based on the AI actors, contend is just easier to set up). From here, just set up all of the basic crap (spawn points, capture points, etc) however/wherever you want them to be and then you can move on to the real meaty stuff: vehicles and actors.

Simply place any vehicle of your choosing, then go to the "Actors" selection menu and set the actor up however you want. Be sure to choose from a category other than "Cops and Military" if you want to fight against the normal NPC police that spawn, since the AI police/military actors won't shoot at them. Then, set which team the actors will be friendly/hostile towards and be sure to remember which setting you chose.

Now simply place the AI actors onto the vehicle itself and the NPCs will be placed inside, starting with the drivers seat and working their way around the vehicle. I've done this with the armed Insurgent, the Technical, the Valkyrie, the Savage, and the Hydra. The AI actors will use the vehicle's mounted weapons!!!

I haven't tested it thoroughly but I just had AI gang members from the "Professionals" gang sitting in a Savage wrecking the cops for me (the AI pilot alternates between using the cannon/rockets). I've also been able to hang off of the side of the Insurgent and shoot while the AI drives and guns the .50 cal up top.

Anyway, you don't even have to save the job, just go to "Test" and you'll be able to do whatever you want and you'll have infinite health. Be warned, though, they're not very good pilots.

If someone already posted a thread about this, then merge/delete as needed. Hope this helps, and you guys can experiment some more and get creative with it

But wouldn't it be good if we didn't have to be forced onto online to do this... Again for those who don't know... Vote here for heist content to,come onto singleplayer https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/communities/public/questions/203112487-Vote-to-have-heist-content-in-Single-Player?page=12

...you don't have to actually play your created mission online. You chose "test" and it gives you infinite health so you can roam around and do whatever you want with the spawned NPCs. Maybe I wasn't clear about that in the OP.

 

I wouldn't post this in the SP forum if it was for GTA:O.

This are great news, since the scripting for AI is there to begin with something... more substantial.
