natives.taskCarDriveWander

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

parameters

• parameter1 = The Ped to drive the Vehicle.
• parameter2 = The Vehicle to drive with.
• parameter3 = The speed of driving in meters per second. (default = 20)
• parameter4 = The AI driving style (behavior) to use. (0-7)

used for

Make the vehicle randomly drive around using internal game path data.

driving style behavior

	traffic lights	other cars	pedestrians	blinkers	when stuck
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	full throttle
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 light poles (objects) while evading.
