@JohnFromGWN So those are valid methods, but I'm trying to have these peds spawn naturally in the world natively via having them spawn in traffic through the vehicles.meta. That being said, I'm also attempting to have the components/props spawn natively and properly. I'm looking through my custom addon ped's .ymt now and I assume it really is as simple as having the correct flags set, so I'll just play around with that and report anything significant back here for documentation

Understood. I was asking more on the native spawning side of things as far as having add-on peds spawning with these clipping issues. That said appreciate, you getting back to me. Ymt clothing editing is interesting to say the least. One more thing if you don't mind me asking.

For peds that have designated motorcycle helmet prop drawables, do you know how to set which prop is the helmet? For instance, a ped has a baseball cap, a beanie and a helmet. I'm trying to make the helmet register as a helmet that the ped will put on when riding/spawning on a bike

Really nice write up here John, but question for you. For peds that have specific components that are meant to be spawned in with other specified components (for example having a ped spawn in with a different hand model depending on the uppr model applied to prevent clipping), do you know how to designate what components are tied to which? I imagine I'm not making too much sense here so I'll have a screenshot here in a bit with an example

You mean the homing missiles from the Deluxo? I guess you could take the vehicle weapons entry from Christmas2017's handling.meta and put it into another vehicle that's already been set up to use vehicle weapons

Really the only way would be to systematically go by each ped and edit their clothing. It's a long process to say the least. Good luck

Hey yall. Having a small issue hoping someone has some insight on. I've got an add-on ped that I want to designate to spawn in specific vehicles via the vehicles.meta (thus meaning no other ped can ambiently spawn in said vehicle, but oh well). I added those vehicles to the popgroups.ymt and eventually the popcycle.dat. Everything's working nicely then I start seeing those peds spawn in vehicles I didn't assign them too. The thing is other peds including my add-on spawn in other vehicles and I'm trying to find a way to definitively keep my add-on ped spawning in the vehicles I designated them to. Any helps appreciated

@drlq99 Yeah, that of course is the simple solution, but we don't like simple for GTA 5 modding

@a63nt-5m1th I never even knew core.ypt had other values beyond the textures. News to me. That bein said I'll definitely take a look at it in CW to see. Goin through a ludicrous number of lines to edit one tiny thing is nothin new to me. That bein said, also didn't know it was tied to PostFX. I could try messin with those settings as well. Much appreciated man 👍🏿

Hey forums, anybody ever encounter this bug here where tire and tear gas smoke show visible squares during formation? It's a real pain if you could imagine. I assume it's something settings related, but I dunno myself. It started thanks to this mod https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/improved-burnout-and-backfire-effect-blackmetic#comments_tab and of course the author's doing that great thing where either the disappear of the face of the 5-Mods site or they're straight up not responding. Either here I am. Any assistance, literally any, is appreciated.

Afternoon. Finally managed to have my name changed (thanks again to @Reacon for the communication on that), but in doing so, I've encountered a few bugs on that. Anyone, including me, clicking on my profile page will be unable to access it https://i.imgur.com/KTBNw3s.png

Another thing which I'm more concerned about is the lack of a notification when I'm being replied to https://i.imgur.com/HvOluhA.png

And I understand that these are bugs that may very well be popping up because my name has a space in it, but if there is a possibility for fixing this, I'm all for it. Also the forums site profile pic is still an issue, but I've given up on that a while ago anyway. Just voicing it again, cause why not 🤷🏿‍♂️
