Stock Market Modding
-
I would like to make mods involving in-game stock market. I am wondering whether is possible to alter it using Script Hook V or SHVDN, for example to change stock prices. That feature could be useful for the following mods:
- Mod adding more Lester's market manipulation missions
- Mod adding more stocks to trade
- Mod linking stock prices with player actions in other way (for example destroying company's trucks will lower its stock price)
If it's not possible, please tell me why it is like that, and suggest me a possible workaround if there's any.

Write to R* and ask them to add this for the next update as it will benefit GTAO as well.
Something like this
void SET_STOCK_PRICE(Tick ticker, Open open, Close close, const char* Exchange)Where Exchange can take NYSE or NASDAQ for example.

In what way it will benefit GTA Online? And who will benefit? Players, R* or both? Please explain me.
BTW, similar function must certainly be invoked after completing Lester's missions in story mode. Why it can't be invoked in other circumstances?
-
R* doesn't do anything unless it benefits them. Players will benefit online much more than SP players because the stock market is fueled by millions of companies and investors, not by Michael destroying a truck.
Let R* know that I've already fleshed out one key native for them at no charge. They can do all the rest themselves and demand it be ready for the summer update. Call it Stock Market Tuner Enterprise Heist.
Threaten to boycott GTA6 and RDR3 if they don't comply.

Yeah, it would be a pretty cool idea, I hope you manage to find a way (I am way too new here to help but I have considered the same thing, Lol)
I think it could be something like if you own enough stocks you can get an extra perk related to that company...
Not soley my idea, I used to play a Text Based Game called Torn-City that did that...
I don't know if it is possible to affect the Computer inGame but you might be able to make a Trainer Menu with the Stocks and Buy/Sell there....

How should we make stock market moddable? There are two options:
Option 1. Try to extract the stock price changing native functions which are activated after completion of Lester's assasination missions in story mode.
Option 2. Make the Stock Market from scratch using ScripthookV, SHVDN3, LemonUI and iFruitAddon2
Which one would be better?
-
I think we don't need to contact Rockstar. I've got a better idea.
We should contact Alexander Blade, the creator of ScriptHookV in order to ask him about native functions regarding in-game stock market.
-
@PaperChaser Blade does SH5. You want the Crosire team. Let us know how the discussion goes.

Today I made an inquiry regarding in-game stock market on GitHub SHVDN page.
As I mentioned earlier, I strongly believe that functions altering it are present in the game, because there must be something that changes stock prices after completing Lester's missions.
Maybe those functions are undiscovered or hard-coded

Nope. Native functions are decompiled and exposed in public domain and definitely discovered. You have no idea of the complexity you're asking for. GTA5 isn't a platform for stock market simulations. That in itself is incredibly complex.
-
I acknowedgle the fact that GTA V is a very complex game. The development process took 3 years work of hundreds of people.
I also agree with you that GTA V is not a stock market simulator, but finance plays a large role in the game, so there should be more options of earning and spending in-game money in story mode.

I think you're confusing crime and finance, oh wait, they probably are the same.
What I'm saying, and yes it's discouraging, is that while possibly feasible, your request would take significant time, effort, and expertise.
You would be the only person to benefit, or one of the few, because having the Hulk or Manga mods is more popular here than trading.
