No matter how hard I try I can't figure out how to do a good hug thru scripting - realizing full well that clipping is a major issue as is the width of the outstretched arms. I've never seen any video doing it properly either. Even the best machinimas, at least the ones I've viewed, can't seem to nail it.

I guess it might work somewhat better with morbidly obese models?

What's nice is you can also nest a slider inside a submenu. You can use integers or strings as selections.
Just as a quick example, here I've nested a peds customization list inside a submenu with integers (strings would be more descriptive but choices were limited so integers were fine for the demo).

Again this isn't meant to replace any trainer, just a way to highly customize favourites or use this to setup a project for machinima or missions....or just fun sandboxing in the open world.

@JohnFromGWN Another thing I've noticed recently is that there are definitely some "bad" mods out there - either due to poor conversion, outdated, or maybe polygon counts in the millions.

A bad vehicle model can be harder to troubleshoot because it may only crash your system as you spawn other vehicles - rarely when they are spawned alone.

Update: Noticing all the issues around random crashes on the forums together with all the threads on how to tweak or even just edit critical files such as settings.xml or gameconfig.xml or dlclist.xml etc. - they are very likely related.

If you are going to tweak/modify game settings, even your graphics settings, make sure you know what you're doing, Backup your files before tweaking, and hopefully don't make wholesale changes - in other words do one change at a time. For example, if you increase your vehicle density or a similar change, ensure your system is stable before you start making other changes.

It's next to impossible to get help on these forums if you've made dozens of changes and don't even keep track of what has changed.

@Lol-Bro224 Actually there is no such thing as x64.rpf and there is no Player 3, there is a Player 0 however.

You want to go to your mods folder, and look for x64v.rpf.
Grand Theft Auto V\mods\x64v.rpf\models\cdimages\streamedpeds_players.rpf\player_one for example

Michael is Player 0.

@KeithX I'm curious about a few things you wrote. When you do a verify integrity it takes hours and deletes your mods? I'm going to assume you are not on Steam? On Steam, a verify integrity can take at most a few minutes and will never delete any personal files including the mods folder.

Also, why do you need two versions of GTA V. If you want to play online or if you want a vanilla GTA without mods, just rename dinput8.dll and you are good to go. This is of course if you are not replacing game files rather than using your Mods folder - which is what is recommended. I never touch my original files yet I have replacement mods installed.

Having said that, if you have two versions of GTA installed is it possible that Open IV is getting the paths mixed up? Having duplicate files might be what's causing some of your issues. Good luck.

And here is the prop positioning part added. You will never get it perfect, but this is infinitely easier than a trainer and you can just rerun it if you need to. Sensitivities can be adjusted if you are striving for perfection.

Simple and efficient way to use the Lemon UI slider to position a ped or to attach and position a prop on a ped.
Requires converting integers to floats and dividing by 100 to change sensitivity of first 3 coordinates and multiplying by 10 for last 3. Of course your can change sensitivity (hard code or use another slider) if more precision is required or if you want greater speed.

Thank you to IAmJFry for help on slider changes in another post.

When I have a chance I'll show a demo with a prop attached to a ped as that is one that seems to give ppl problems.

@JohnFromGWN Ok I figured this out. Classic PEBKAC or ID10T.
My code was executing perfectly, it was the display that was misleading.
For example, i had 35 which became 70, and 36 which become 72.
Since my display showed 70 and 72, i wrongly concluded it was adding 2.
Display should have been 35 to 70, 36 to 72.
Stupid me!

And again many thanks for showing me how to get the correct event handler.
P.S. I should have known better as well because I write VBA code for Excel regularly.
