Examples

Example 1 - JavaScript - Client-Side:

/* example code provided by DrFauli */
addCommandHandler("drivestyle", function(cmdName, params)
{
	// current vehicle handle
	let thisVeh = null;

	// check if player is in a car
	if (!localPlayer.vehicle)
	{
		natives.requestModel(-1685021548) // sabre GT
		natives.loadAllObjectsNow();

		// spawn the car
		thisVeh = createVehicle2(-1685021548, localPlayer.position, true);
		thisVeh.heading = localPlayer.heading;

		// warp player into driver seat
		natives.taskWarpCharIntoCarAsDriver(localPlayer, thisVeh);
	}
	else
	{
		thisVeh = localPlayer.vehicle;
	}

	// get speed and driveStyle from params
	let splitParams = params.split(" ");
	let driveSpeed = Number(splitParams[0]); // default is 20
	let driveStyle = Number(splitParams[1]); // default is 1 (normal driving)

	// let the localPlayer drive around with this car
	natives.taskCarDriveWander(localPlayer, thisVeh, driveSpeed, driveStyle);

	return true;
});

notes

• driving styles 0 and 2 seem to be identical.
• driving styles 1 and 7 seem to be identical.
• using values < 0 or > 7 will behave like 3

There could be small distance and/or speed differences when "drive around" is used.‎
It is also unclear if the AI drivers are able to see objects like light poles or traffic lights while evading.
