@InfiniteQuestion I tried doing somethings like agent smith suggested in the old thread link and didnt seem to help at all. still loads of biffs dump trucks etc. and ive no clue how to use notepad++. if you have found a solution to the variety and make it much better plz provide a file. i dont have any other meta edits really aside from a few tiny ones in police cars.

bump. this issue plagues my game. All ive replaced was all the police cars one taxi and a ups van and i noticed the variety isnt so good. lots of biffs lots of dump trucks with garbage etc. no matter what i edit doesnt seem to help can someone provide a file with good edits?

I think if anything i might just get rid of the ventura county skins and just replace sheriff1 and 2 with pranger lasd skins. And have pranger as the santa monica police skin. Would be simpler

Well I tried what you said and it works for Del Perro, idk maybe i messed something up trying to make strawberry davis etc army base but it was just spawning lapd everywhere even in blaine lol. so i re did everything and now i just have strawberry davis etc use pranger, then i set for del perro areas and del perro beach as fbi cause idk what else to use. and it works well now i have santa monica police seperate skin in that area as i used the army base set. only problem there is the fbi spawn with 4 cops which looks a bit odd. idk how to change that? wish was somehow you could also add more dispatch zone then countryside default and armybase but idk
everything seems good though now. if i want to play in blaine i will just have to restart game and throw in the blaine dispatch where sheriff and sheriff2 spawn countryside instead of pranger.

@Aurora11 Thanks! Sorry to hear about your PC. I looked at the zonebind and it looks quite difficult to understand lol. I will probably leave it as is the dispatch meta. Only problem now is i noticed some of the pranger have no driver. And the invisible driver fix mod didnt fix it either. I will see about redoing the dispatch slowly as it is very sensitive.

@Aurora11 said in Make sheriff spawn in city?:

<Item>
<DispatchType>DT_ParkRanger</DispatchType>
<NumPedsToSpawn value="2"/> <!-- Number of pranger to spawn. 2 is 1 vehicle, 4 is 2 vehicles.. -->
<DispatchVehicleSets>
<Dispatch>PARK_RANGER</Dispatch>
</DispatchVehicleSets>
</Item>

I did the things you said and will try it out. But i no longer actually want the pranger in with the regular police vehicles now you had shown me the simple jurisdiction mod i only want them in those certain neighborhoods. I can get that ok and work ok. Only issue is outside city will spawn pranger as well cause of the dispatch.meta edit i made. I will try these edits though as i did have a few of them spawn with no driver

@Aurora11 dont think that would change it. As it already has ranger ped but if you edit the dispatch and add it to city police will spawn with police peds. But since you suown that mod i think is more realistic as lasd only occur in those areas IRL. So it works great except if i want that inner city sheriff to use pranger it will work well problem is since i edited the dispatch meta the sheriff in blaine will also use pranger and look odd with lasd in blaine. Not that big of deal i guess and i dont think there is easy work around.

After messing with dispatch and the nice mod you mentioned I cant seem to make it where a certain car will spawn in the city sheriff areas without it also spawning in the country as well. For example have pranger in the city as a lasd livery and for blaine etc a sheriff and sheriff2. I think if I want that ill just need to make two dispatch.meta and one for in the city with the lasd cars and one for if i play in blaine. Dont know any otherway

Thansk for the help I will give it a shot, but from my understanding the pranger should already have ranger peds spawnining in it. The thing is in the dispatch.meta i added anywhere there was police3 with all the police vehicles and pranger. Thing is I want pranger to have sheriff ped instead of a cop ped. Should be simple but maybe not, adding more police variety vehicles in the the city was easy and even adding the female cops and i could probably add sheriff too but they would spawn in all the police cars (police2,3,4,etc). Id like it where only pranger has a sheriff ped model. That mod you posted does seem interesting though. Problem is it probably uses the sheriff1 and 2 slots which would look odd using them in the city as they are ventura county skins, and if i changed them to lasd then it would be odd to have lasd in paleto. Unless i can change that mod to make pranger or something else the sheriff vehicle for city sheriffs.

I figured out a way in the dispatch meta to increase the variety of police cars and now I have police 1234 and pranger. I made pranger an lasd fpiu skin and would like to make the ped model a sheriff instead of a cop model? for some reason i cant figure out how to do that as it seems difficult. any help would be great
