Relationship Groups (stopping random peds from fleeing)

[Freakyy 35]

In order to stop random peds from fleeing, you'll need to set up a relationship group for them.
I was looking through the decompiled scripts yesterday, and these are my findings. I am not sure if it has been posted before, but in the Skype group with other ScriptHookV developers, many people had problems with this.

Setting up a Relationship Group
First of all, you set up a relationship group:

PED::ADD_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP(char* name, Any* out_hash)

I suggest you use a name that is not used by the game internally, so be creative. The function will setup the relationship group, the second parameter will contain the hashed string.

Relationship to other Groups
The next step is to setup the Relationship to other Relationship Groups.

PED::SET_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_GROUPS(int relation, Any group_1, Any group_2)

group_1 and group_2 are both hashes. 0x6F0783F5 (string: "PLAYER") is your player.

Quick Example:

PED::SET_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_GROUPS(1, new_group, 0x6F0783F5)
PED::SET_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_GROUPS(5, 0x6F0783F5, new_group)

This will stop random peds from fleeing, because they are "allies" (1) to you. However, if you aim at them your crosshair will be red since they are an enemy (5) to you. I am not sure about the other numbers used, but 2/3 seems to be neutral. In some scripts 255 is also used, but I really have no clue for what.

Assigning peds the Relationship Group
Now that you have set the Relationship Group up, be sure to assign the hash to a ped.

PED::SET_PED_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP_HASH(Any ped_id, Any hash)

Done
This will stop random peds from fleeing (as long as you actually assign the hash).

They still get in the vehicle look at you get out then repeat that with this

[xsploit 2]

So if i spawned the zombie model they would still attack if i pointed a weapon at them even when unarmed?

I have a problem with the second parameter of this:

PED::ADD_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP(char* name, Any* out_hash)

In the natives it isnt Any* but Hash

so:

PED::ADD_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP(char* name, Hash* group_hash)

But where do I get the "group hashes" ? Shall I just define one ?

if you create a group , like bodyguards you can define one like "mygroup" or whatever you want

 

the groups names are (i'm on ps3) in the data folder from the common rpf , here http://prntscr.com/7b5ez1

So then presumably one would use GAMEPLAY::GET_HASH_KEY with the argument "COP" (or any other string from relationships.dat) and then you can supply that hash to the relationship commands.

 

I'll try that out soon, I'm trying to get the police to attack certain people.

Allright I fiddled a little with relationships, and I came to the conclusion, that relationships applied to created Peds does not have any affect what so ever, you would need to script those in yourselfs,

or did anyone found a way to use the default Ped actions from Pedestrians, Gangs etc. ?

// spawn criminal        unsafe public void SpawnCriminal()        {            // spawn a ped that will flee from the police            // first load our ped models            Model pedModel = new Model(PedHash.Business01AMY);            if ((pedModel.IsInCdImage && pedModel.IsPed && pedModel.Request(1000)))            {                // get position in front of player                Ped player = Game.Player.Character;                Vector3 spawnPos = player.Position + (player.ForwardVector * 7.5f);                // now spawn the ped                Ped newPed = World.CreatePed(pedModel, spawnPos.Around(5.0f));                if ((newPed != null) && newPed.Exists())                {                    // for deleting ped later                    pedList.Add(newPed);                    // set ped relationship (long winded)                    int pedHash = 0;                    int* pedHashP = &pedHash;                    int copHash = Function.Call<int>(Hash.GET_HASH_KEY, "COP");                    Function.Call(Hash.ADD_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP, "TEST123", pedHashP);                    Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP_HASH, newPed.Handle, pedHash);                    Function.Call(Hash.SET_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_GROUPS, 5, copHash, pedHash);                    Function.Call(Hash.SET_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_GROUPS, 5, pedHash, copHash);                    // arm ped                    newPed.Weapons.Give(WeaponHash.CarbineRifle, 3000, true, true);                    newPed.CanSwitchWeapons = true;                                        // ped should fight nearby targets                    newPed.Task.FightAgainstHatedTargets(300.0f);                }            }        }

That worked for me with latest version of scripthookvdotnet from github.

I have been messing with relationship groups in my riot mod. For most peds on the street (with their default groups and relationships), they will fight eachother and the player and will not flee even if you shoot them so long as you use these commands:

PED::SET_BLOCKING_OF_NON_TEMPORARY_EVENTS(pedHandle, true);// thenAI::TASK_PUT_PED_DIRECTLY_INTO_MELEE(pedHandle, targetPed, 0, 0, 0, 0);// orAI::TASK_COMBAT_PED(pedHandle, targetPed, 0, 16);

However, animals like the coyote and the retriever will always trot away (I guess they're fleeing?) unless I set their relationship group to "cougar" or to "wild animal". I tried setting all the peds to relationship group cougar or wild_animal and it works great -- cops will attack SWAT, etc -- but they are too hostile against the player when I set their player-group relationship to 3, 3 . If I change it to 2,3, they wont chase you so much, but if I try changing it back to 3,3 without restarting the game, about half of the peds start running away from the player in fear, and nothing I try seems to fix it (not even setting it to 5,5 or 1,1). How do I use "CLEAR_RELATIONSHIP_BETWEEN_GROUPS"? It has an integer value like the SET commands, even though you are clearing the value.. Would I have to clear both 2 and 3 for all groups involved?

 

They also would flee when I tried setting the values to 1 thru 5 using my own groups (which had default relationship values of "255" to eachother)

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I think it was because the regular civilain groups have a default reaction to flee anyone from the cougar group, so since the script couldnt touch every single ped, a ton of them were running away from the cougars. I fixed it by changing the civmale and civfemale relationships with the cougar group both to 1

This is how I set the relationship to cougar?

Ped spawnedPed = PED::CREATE_PED(28, ModelHash, coords.x, coords.y, coords.z, ENTITY::GET_ENTITY_HEADING(playerPed), TRUE, FALSE);Hash MTLION = GAMEPLAY::GET_HASH_KEY("COUGAR");PED::SET_PED_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP_HASH(spawnedPed, MTLION);

It doesn't work, shark always runs away

 

Any help please?

Yeah that should work, though you can combine the last two lines:

PED::SET_PED_RELATIONSHIP_GROUP_HASH(spawnedPed, GAMEPLAY::GET_HASH_KEY("COUGAR"));

I've never even seen a shark flee from anything, but you could try telling it specifically to attack whatever target you want it to attack with:

TASK_COMBAT_PED(shark, targetPed, 0 ,16);//orPED::REGISTER_HATED_TARGETS_AROUND_PED(shark, 200); //not sure if this is necessaryAI::TASK_COMBAT_HATED_TARGETS_AROUND_PED(shark, 200, 0);//orAI::TASK_PUT_PED_DIRECTLY_INTO_MELEE(shark, targetPed, 0,0,0,0);

And also by setting its flee attributes and combat attributes as described in my post you quoted.

 

I have no experience doing this with acquatic animals, though, and just getting regular animals like dogs to fight is hard enough to do. You might need to clear the shark's tasks or use REMOVE_PED_FROM_GROUP or something to get it to stop doing whatever pre-programmed shark-tasks it was doing before.

Thank you very much!

 

This one works, every animal is trying to attack, even the rabbit )

AI::TASK_PUT_PED_DIRECTLY_INTO_MELEE(shark, targetPed, 0,0,0,0);
