Kudos to both of you for sharing your progress here! Hopefully youll put out a mod when you have found the perfect settings. Looking forward to it! 🙂

I have no experience in placing peds somewhere, but is there a function GET_ENTITY_COORDS? If so, could you check the victims coords after you applied the function you mentioned above? (so you can see if the entity is anywhere near the coords you get in your log.

Oh, I thought you were already trying stuff, sorry. I have not used these functions, so I cant give any instructions on how to use them, unfortunately 😕

So SAC and I were discussing performance and pretty code via DM and the question came up wheter a lot of maps or a single map filled with structs with lots of attributes would be more performant. Since we didnt know, I wanted to search some knowledge here. Will a script be more performant if I use e.g. 100 std::maps to store and retrieve information for 1000 keys or one single map filled with 1000 keys, each value being a struct with 100 attributes?

The WAIT(2000) happens for every ped - so the script will pause for 2 seconds after each ped is tasked with fleeing (this will delay all other things in your script as well). You could work around this with timers (you remember the timestamp for a ped and only proceed with the rest of the functions (for this ped) when two seconds have passed).

I know there is a native with which you can send a ped to a position. Would that suffice?

I use this native: static void xTASK_FLEE(Any p0, Any p1, Any p2, Any p3, float p4, Any p5, Any p6) { invoke<Void>(0xFD45175A6DFD7CE9, p0, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5, p6); } Like this: AI::xTASK_FLEE(PedToFlee, PedToFleeFrom, 4, 0, -1.0f, -1, 0);

Does anyone know which walking style is used when NPCs are bleeding from an artery? Because if I force them to use a certain walking style, the arterial bleeding walking bugs out (seems like its a loop of overwriting the walking style: bleeding - my forced one - bleeding - my forced one - ...).

This is true for the task the npc is executing. I dont know if it will make spawned objects vanish, though.

I think this is something which can be achieved like you achieved the dirt decal persistence - I dont know the corresponding file(s), though.

Just to share what we discussed in the DMs with the community: There are some functions worth trying (not sure what the last parameter is doing (bool))--> AUDIO::STOP_CURRENT_PLAYING_AMBIENT_SPEECH(peds[i], true); AUDIO::STOP_PED_SPEAKING(peds[i], true); AUDIO::DISABLE_PED_PAIN_AUDIO(peds[i], true);

I dont think so, but you can replace the original one with your modified one (in which you add whatever you would like to add) using lml. Or am I missing the point?
