[GTA SA] How can i set weapon skill to gangster level for all peds in the streets?

[ro4st]

Their weapon skill is set to poor level by default. Is there any way to change it to gangster lever? (i'm not talking about gang members and cops).

Or is there any way to change the rate of fire of pedestrians without modifying the weapon.dat file? (i don't want to modify weapon fire rate for CJ, just peds)

Standard method would be by searching pedtypes through a ped pool:

for (int i = 0; i < CPools::ms_pPedPool->m_nSize; i++) {
	CPed *ped = CPools::ms_pPedPool->GetAt(i);
	if (ped) {
        	if (ped->m_nPedType == PED_TYPE_CIVMALE || ped->m_nPedType == PED_TYPE_CIVFEMALE ||
        	ped->m_nPedType == PED_TYPE_DEALER || ped->m_nPedType == PED_TYPE_CRIMINAL ||
        	ped->m_nPedType == PED_TYPE_BUM || ped->m_nPedType == PED_TYPE_PROSTITUTE)
        	{
    	    		ped->m_nWeaponSkill = WEAPSKILL_STD;
    	    		ped->m_nWeaponShootingRate = 40;
        	}
	}
}

//  ePedType    https://github.com/DK22Pac/plugin-sdk/blob/master/plugin_sa/game_sa/ePedType.h 

enum eWeaponSkill
{
	WEAPSKILL_POOR,    //  0
	WEAPSKILL_STD,     //  1
	WEAPSKILL_PRO,     //  2
	WEAPSKILL_COP      //  3
}; 

But most of the ped settings are already present here:

CPed::CPed(ePedType pedType)    //  0x5E8030

More precisely:

0x5E83CA    mov     [esi+0x72C], 1     //  ped->m_nWeaponSkill = WEAPSKILL_STD;			
0x5E8259    mov     [esi+0x719], 0x28  //  ped->m_nWeaponShootingRate = 40;

so it can be done by modifying the function as well:

injector::WriteMemory<byte>(0x5E83CA + 6, 1);
injector::WriteMemory<byte>(0x5E8259 + 6, 0x28);

Thank you so much for you help, i really appreciate it so much. But i should have mentioned that i suck at coding (sorry for my ignorance), so i really don't know how to use this information properly to make a CLEO mod in Sanny Builder. Can you help me a bit?

 

Btw, nice YT videos (i watched some of them before)

const
	WEAPSKILL_POOR = 0
	WEAPSKILL_STD = 1
	WEAPSKILL_PRO = 2
	WEAPSKILL_COP = 3
end

You can use these commands when you find a ped in the ped pool:

081A: set_actor ped weapon_skill_to WEAPSKILL_PRO
07DD: set_actor ped attack_rate 0xFF

or change already defined weapon skill and fire rate values through the write_memory commands: 

0A8C: write_memory 0x5E83D0 size 1 value WEAPSKILL_PRO virtual_protect 0
0A8C: write_memory 0x5E825F size 1 value 0xFF virtual_protect 0
