Does vehicles.meta assign peds to vehicles?

The title says it all ^^

trying to figure out which .meta or file in GTA V that assigns NPCs to certain vehicles. because I'm trying to assign the highway cop to police3

'dispatch.meta':

...\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\update.rpf\common\data\dispatch.meta

in the '<PedModels>' section here:

Example:

	<VehicleSets>
		<Vehicle>
			<Name>POLICE_CAR</Name>
			<ConditionalVehicleSets>
				<Item>
					<ZoneType>VEHICLE_RESPONSE_ARMY_BASE</ZoneType>
					<VehicleModels>
						<Vehicle>crusader</Vehicle>
						<Vehicle>mesa3</Vehicle>
						<Vehicle>barracks</Vehicle>
					</VehicleModels>
					<PedModels>
						<Ped>S_M_M_Marine_01</Ped>
						<Ped>S_M_Y_Marine_01</Ped> <!-- <<< these peds here spawn in crusader/mesa3/barracks-->
						<Ped>S_M_Y_Marine_03</Ped>
					</PedModels>
				</Item>
				<Item>
					<ZoneType>VEHICLE_RESPONSE_COUNTRYSIDE</ZoneType>
					<VehicleModels>
						<Vehicle>SHERIFF</Vehicle>
						<Vehicle>SHERIFF2</Vehicle>
					</VehicleModels>
					<PedModels>
						<Ped>S_M_Y_Sheriff_01</Ped> <!-- <<< here (spawn in sheriff/sheriff2) -->
					</PedModels>
				</Item>
				<Item>
					<VehicleModels>
						<Vehicle>police3</Vehicle>
					</VehicleModels>
					<PedModels>
						<Ped>S_M_Y_HwayCop_01</Ped> <!-- <<< & here. HwayCop poilce3 ONLY -->
					</PedModels>
				</Item>		
			</ConditionalVehicleSets>
		</Vehicle>

The last example above ('HwayCop poilce3 ONLY') is the one you want to copy.
Note: If you put more vehicles other than 'police3' in it's '<VehicleModels>' section, the Highway Cops will spawn in them too.

I don't see why not, never tried but you can put any vehicle you want to spawn as dispatch & it will spawn as long as it has the correct flags in it's 'vehicles.meta' ('FLAG_LAW_ENFORCEMENT' & 'FLAG_EMERGENCY_SERVICE' etc)

Any issues with ghost dispatch vehicles (dispatch vehicles without drivers driving about but not engaging in chase) as you edit 'dispatch.meta' then try Dispatch 'Ghost' Fix & see if it solves it. Doesn't always happen, more if you have editied 'dispatch.meta' a lot or added a heap of new vehicles etc.
