A way so peds manually drive vehicles?

[Jumba']

I was just wondering if there were any scripts, or if anyone could give me an idea on how to make a ped follow a precise path in a vehicle. I tried using "setPedControlState" but that's not really precise as the weather changes the handling, so the path wouldnt be an exact replica.

I need it for a film I'm making and I needed some peds driving pre-set routes.

setPedControlState will work - you'll probably have to just be more intelligent about it - make your peds try to drive towards the line - if they're too far to the right of it, they should steer left and vice versa. This is a standard way to do driving AI (and how GTA's own AI works).

Of course, there's lots of more complex situations to cope with - avoiding obstacles, getting out of situations where the vehicle is stuck, coping with facing the wrong direction entirely - etc. But, if you've got the ped in the vehicle close to the path you want them to follow, just making them driving towards a point that moves along the path should work fine.

If you are making films in SA, unless you are specifically showing off MTA features, you may be better off with this mod:

It will certainly give you much better control over filming peds and vehicles along pre-pathed routes.

Of course, the perfect solution may be to mix the 2 together, using footage from both MTA and this mod for different scenes depending on your goals.

(Don't mis-understand here, MTA is certainly capable, but when an alternative is available, why make things harder for yourself? )
