void natives.taskCarDriveWander(Ped ped, Vehicle vehicle, float driveSpeed, int driveStyle)

The natives.taskCarDriveWander function is used to make the vehicle randomly drive around using internal game path data.

Parameters

1)	Ped	ped	The Ped to drive the Vehicle.
2)	Vehicle	vehicle	The Vehicle to drive with.
3)	float	driveSpeed	The speed of driving in meters per second. (default = 20).
4)	int	driveStyle	The AI driving style (behavior) to use. (0-7, see details below).

Return

void	This function doesn't return a value.

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; });

0	ignore	drive around	drive around	not used	reverse
1	stop on red	stay behind	stop and honk	used on intersections	wait
2	ignore	drive around	drive around	not used	reverse
3	ignore	ignore	ignore	not used	reverse
4	ignore	stay behind	stop and honk	not used	wait
5	stop on red	drive around	drive around	not used	reverse
6	stop+reversing	drive around	drive around	not used	reverse
7	stop on red	stay behind	stop and honk	used on intersections	wait

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.
