Vehicles in GTA 2 Coding

Cars are very easy to create and I'm sure you'll have alot of them in your maps! Below is how you can place a parked car in your map: 

PARKED_CAR_DATA uniquename = ( X , Y , Z ) remap rotation model

or: 

PARKED_CAR_DATA uniquename = ( X , Y , Z ) remap rotation model trailermodel

The second is only for use with trucks and trailers (since when did you see a Z-Type driving around with a tanker?).

So, you could have one similar to the one below. 

PARKED_CAR_DATA fastcar ( 34.5 , 45.5 , 2.0 ) 28 0 STRATOS

or: 

PARKED_CAR_DATA truck ( 35.5 , 47.5 , 2.0 ) 19 270 TRUKCAB2 TANKER

The second declares that when the game loads, the trailer is automatically attached. To create a mini style car, set the trailer model to be MINI_CAR which is best used for remote control missions!

Goes on a bit doesn’t it? If you are wandering what the numbers are for, here they are:

  1. Game Crashes.
  2. Guess what, you can’t enter a Truck Cab Container!
  3. Useless, don’t even bother putting them in unless it is for a special mission.
  4. Default gang car.
  5. Primarily used for the Wang Car bonuses.
  6. Emergency vehicles.
  7. Public transport.

If you try to use the WRECK vehicles and actually destroy them via weapons, the game will crash. In this way, you should make them all weapon proof (machine gun, rocket launcher and flame-thrower) for added security. Unfortunately, it is still affected by the Electro Gun. Furthermore, they cannot be driven by the player or the AI so you cannot spawn characters inside them. You have been warned!

Preventing A Model Type From Spawning

If you don’t want a certain vehicle to drive around on the map, use the code below: 

SUPPRESS_THIS_CAR_MODEL ( model-name )

Only one car can ever be suppressed, and if you try another, it will update with the new one. If you want to stop this later on, such as after a mission, set the model-name to NONE.

Vehicle Door Locks

To make your game cars locked, you need to add the following commands: 

CHANGE_CAR_LOCK ( car-name , lock-type )

Change car-name to any previously created car, and the 'lock-type' to one of the following:

Description
NO_LOCKCar has no lock whatsoever.
LOCKEDLocks out everyone, including players.
UNLOCKEDCar is unlocked.
LOCKED_PERMANENTLYCar is always locked for everyone.
LOCKOUT_THIEF_ONLYOnly locks out car thieves, this is the default for created cars.
LOCKOUT_PLAYEROnly locks out players.

Vehicle Alarms

If you want to give a car an alarm, just add the following code: 

GIVE_CAR_ALARM ( car-name )

Set the car name to a previously made car. The alarm will go off if you steal the car or shoot at it.
