Need help with my Towtrucks (mostly the flatbed)

[cakuzma]

 

I have a question and maybe one of you car modders can help me, I want my flatbed towtruck to act like my normal Tow Truck, right now, if i get in the flatbed and turn the lights on, other cars think its a police car and move out of its way, i would rather it work like the towtruck and not have cars move out of the way when the lights are on, can someone direct me to which file i would need to edit to make it behave that way?

Thanks in advanced

I think what is happening here is that the towtruck (maybe a few other vehicles too) has/have some sort of hidden flag added to it/them to stop the peds getting out of the way of it when their siren is on. If you set up a siren on just about any other vehicle, you will get the same thing, traffic will move out of the way as you get closer to it, but if you use your ford flatbed to replace the towtruck it will work just how you want & peds will ignore you etc.

Rockstar use hidden & uneditable advanced flags to make edits to certain vehicles (the 'fbi' is the only vehicle I've found that can carry 4x dispatch peds for example). The flags are tied to the vehicle name, so the only way to use the characteristics of those flags is to replace the vehicle that has that flag.

So, in this case, I think you are going to have to either:

    Use your Ford flatbed model to replace the towtruck (or perhaps towtruck2, if it has the same characteristics),
    or
    Find another vehicle that has the same flag applied to it & use that instead of the flatbed.

The 2nd option is probably best, you can likely find an airport vehicle or construction vehicle that you don't care about & replace it with your ford flatbed model to get the results you want.

Basically, take a little drive along the motorway in all the flashing lights vehicles you can find in the game & see if any of them have the characteristics you want & don't force peds to pullover etc.
If you find one, replace it's model with your Ford flatbed model & see if it has suddenly gained the 'no peds pull over' characteristics

thank you anyone that took the time to look at the post
