Neighborhood Watch App (C#)

Ever get into trouble in San Andreas? Got cornered by Vagos on Grove Street or robbed in Blaine County? Forget calling 911: now you can directly alert San Andreas police and their officers will rush to your aid. Just be careful not to get a wanted level yourself, or they'll turn on you.

This is a simple scripting experiment. It lets you define units in an XML config file (mod_config/CopCallerApp.xml) which you can then spawn by pressing the T key in-game and selecting their entry. The sample config includes:

• a NOOSE unit (agents in a Riot)
• an LSPD unit (cops in a Police Buffalo)
• an LSSC unit (deputies & NOOSE agents in a Sheriff SUV)
• an LSFD unit (firetruck)

Feel free to modify these or add new ones. It's especially fun in gangland districts, during missions or when cheating.

Installation:

• Make sure you have ScriptHookV and ScriptHookV .NET installed and working.
• Extract the mod archive into your GTA 5 installation directory.
• While playing, press T at any time to bring up the menu. Navigate using the Numpad keys.

Latest updates:

0.2.2

• <isPoliceTeam> now works properly
• Shrank oversized footer in the GUI menu

0.2.1

• Fixed issue where certain ped models would refuse to spawn, resulting in only an empty vehicle spawning.

0.2

• All config files are now located in a subdirectory called mod_config. Just unpack the archive like you did before, and it'll be created.
• Added a mandatory element <isPoliceTeam> which specifies whether the team is a police unit or not. This way you can add paramedics, firemen etc. to the config file. The default config has been updated to reflect this.
• @Xx_vGv_xX i18n support has been added :) To translate the script, create a copy of the en.xml file in the mod_config directory, rename it to your language of choice (e.g. es.xml), and use Notepad to translate the strings. Then, change the <language> element in the main config file (CopCallerApp.xml) and enjoy.

Known issues:

• The .NET menus I use in the script seem to have problems with displaying certain special characters. I'll check if there's anything I can do about it.
• Firemen and paramedics spawned using the script will not perform their tasks, as I'm not aware of a native that could allow me to specify these behaviors (as opposed to SET_PED_AS_COP for police). If someone more experienced knows a way, let me know.
