How to drive a dog to sense and act in the world using the mod script?

[a.pple 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I just had the ScriptHookRDR2 and installed a few mods, very impressive! I have made couple simple scripts like to change player's status.

 

Now I would learn more about how to make a ped like dog to sense the world and act around. I know how to spawn one but looking for the way to drive/control it. Here are some detailed actions I could imagine for the dog now:

- move/run to the East for 5 steps

- standing on the current place and moving its head to the left, or to the player, so its sight will change to the new direction and focus will follow

- sense the current area of the world and respond certain behaviors like dig or piss

 

Do you have any mod scripts about this, driving a dog to sense and act in its world? 

 

So far, from the NativeDB, I found some functions seem relevent, and especially a list of ped task natives, but no ideas how to use them. 

 

SET_PED_USING_ACTION_MODE

ENABLE_CONTROL_ACTION

SET_PED_STEALTH_MOVEMENT

IS_PED_HEADTRACKING_PED

Do you have any good practice/examples about how to use these natives to drive the dog, or using others?

 

By watching the dogs built in the game, I think the game developers already provided lots of scripts to drive the dogs, gave them the kind of controlling mechanisms. I hope to learn them too if anyone could share it:)

 

Besides the natives I could access using the Hook, Is there any RDR2 libraries I could use too like RDR2.Native? From an online search, I found the code like below but not sure whether they are real and how to use them

 

using RDR2;

using RDR2.Native;

...

private Ped dogPed;

...

dogPed.Task.FollowPed(...);

...
