Learning to script - is this project possible?
-
Hello guys! I am learning as a programmer, and I wanted to get into scripting. I actually know what I want to do, and I wanted to ask if it's possible and what tools I need.
Here's what I want to do: basically, I want to focus my GTA on street racing and car chases. I wanted to know if you believe it's possible to:
-Have cops chase you with faster cars with the higher stars level
-Nobody freakin shoot (although there's a mod for that already)
-Making this work with addon cars
-Put cars into "classes", Forza-style
-AI drivers roaming around the city
-No foot pedestrians
-Main menu with race, car selection, ecc
-"Career mode"
-All of this should be active ONLY if I trigger it, like entering a specific building or entering a certain codeThis is something I want to make for me, mainly. I always desired a mod like this (expecially years ago with a low-spec pc and only San Andreas to quench my thirst). I know there are some scripts to do certain things I listed, and I want to use them if possible.

Many things are possible through the power of scripting. Problem is that this may hinder the possibilities of your project- this community is so secretive nobody really shares any legitimate tutorials on how to script for this game.
Only thing I ever found was: 0 responses to multiple threads and 1 youtube video on how to make a single key on your keyboard activate god mode. That's about it.
Good luck, hopefully someone will actually be a lad and teach others how to make mods for the community.

What I would really need is some good documentation if available

Sadly, yeah, its not easy to find actual documentation about scripting in this community. Only snippets.
I know all of the features you want is possible, do keep in mind it would be a monstrous effort which will take you a year minimum. The only thing I wouldn't know how to make true is peds/police not shooting anyone - i have only found workarounds, but not true solutions.
The rest is matter of putting time into it, really. I have done most of that stuff with my scripts, so it is definitely possible.

To be more precise, what of these did you manage to achieve? Besides the ones you already show'd me on Discord I mean

-Have cops chase you with faster cars with the higher stars level- Realism Dispatch Enhanced does this.-Nobody freakin shoot (although there's a mod for that already)- Realism Dispatch Enhanced does this, I believe.
For normal peds its easy to prevent them from using their guns.-Making this work with addon cars- Street Races/Drag Meets can save/load add-on cars no problem.
-Put cars into "classes", Forza-style- Street Races can create specific classes and add cars to them. Check its Racers.xml file.
-AI drivers roaming around the city- Lively World spawns racers around.
-No foot pedestrians
Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_DENSITY_MULTIPLIER_THIS_FRAME, 0.0f);
Function.Call(Hash.SET_SCENARIO_PED_DENSITY_MULTIPLIER_THIS_FRAME, 0.0f);-Main menu with race, car selection, etc- NativeUI can make that possible, Street Races makes use of it."Career mode" - Haven't done this yet, but I'm working on one. Its matter of coding the logic for it, its actually harder to come up with a working progression system than coding it, I would argue.
-All of this should be active ONLY if I trigger it, like entering a specific building or entering a certain code- Street Races and Drag Meets require the player to actually join the race or otherwise actively be present for them to exist/work.

Can some moderators move this to Work in Progress? I plan to use this thread to give various updates on the development

@Madatek I think it'd be best to create a new topic.
