Characters in GTA 2 Mission Scripts
To create characters for your missions, you need to use the following code. PLAYER_PED must be used initially to create the actual player, whilst CHAR_DATA is used to create AI charcters:
PLAYER_PED name = (X,Y,Z) remap rotationSo, an example could be:
PLAYER_PED p1 = (127.5,127.5,2.0) 22 0The following is used for AI charcters:
CHAR_DATA name = (X,Y,Z) remap rotation OCCUPATIONAgain, an example could be:
CHAR_DATA bigbossdude = (12.5,57.5,4.0) 12 270 CRIMINAL_TYPE1The characters above will stand still. They run away if a gun is fired. The next section will first detail remaps and then how to add AI to them.

Changing Remaps
If you’ve played on the second city with one of the Redneck missions where you enter the prison, you actually change outfit. This is a simple command:
CHANGE_CHAR_REMAP (name, remap)Example code:
CHANGE_CHAR_REMAP (p1, 13)To make your character or player look like a civilian, just use the following code instead:
SET_CHAR_GRAPHIC_TYPE (name, GRAPHIC_TYPE, remap)Be careful with this command, as it sets the remap colour as well as the graphic type! Character name is self explanitory.
DUMMY_GRAPHIC | Standard peds. See the remap list above. |
|---|---|
EMERG_GRAPHIC | Medics, cops and SWAT! |
GANG_GRAPHIC | Slightly bigger than standard peds. Carries a backpack. |
So an example could be:
SET_CHAR_GRAPHIC_TYPE (dummy01, DUMMY_GRAPHIC, 34)This also applies to things like medics and police so they look like the ones in game, and not larger version of them! The gang one shouldn’t really be used at all, as I’m pretty sure all characters have this as default.
SWAT Officer Remap
This was one of my best finds in GTA 2, and not even Rockstar or anyone else had used this in any major mission:
SET_CHAR_GRAPHIC_TYPE (p1, EMERG_GRAPHIC, -1)Cars also use -1 for their default remap. If you try -1 with each GRAPHIC_TYPE, you’ll get these results:
DUMMY_GRAPHIC | Roadblock tank driver (dark red shirt and green sleeves) |
|---|---|
EMERG_GRAPHIC | SWAT character |
GANG_GRAPHIC | Zaibatsu |
