Career Mode v0.33 - Police AI Question

I'm not exactly sure which section to make this post so if it can be moved or if i need to move it then please let me know

My question is: Is there a way to add Police AI in career mode without using mods? Kinda similar to how we spawn police in the AI menu within free roam. I understand career mode is still WIP too. If there is not a non-mod solution then is there a highly reliable and recommended mod to spawn them in traffic?

I appreciate all of you that took the time to read and respond to this!

 

AI Police isn't currently available as an option in Career Mode because it needs some polishing before they add it. Meanwhile you can use the RLS Career Overhaul by Raceless, which lets you have Police traffic as an option!

 

Awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to respond with that helpful information! I will definitely check out the mod!

 

There is a simple way to do it without external modding, which also follows your traffic settings (good for potato PC):
1. Open \Steam\steamapps\common\BeamNG.drive\lua\ge\extensions\career\career.lua
2. Modify (line 31 for me) line starting with: local blockedActions... so that a value ai_controls (forgot the specific name) is not on the list. My looks like this:
local blockedActions = core_input_actionFilter.createActionTemplate({"vehicleTeleporting", "vehicleMenues", "physicsControls", "vehicleSwitching", "funStuff"}, actionWhitelist)

3. Start career normally, hit ESC once or twice for circle menu, navigate AI -> Traffic, and click in order:
a. Remove Traffic (optional)
b. Spawn (Police)

4. Enjoy Freeroam traffic with police in career mode.
For my slow PC I have found that setting amount of traffic vehicles to 3, and amount of pooled vehicles to 1 works really well: I have a total of 4 traffic cars, which one of them is police. Since 1 of those 4 is pooled, you won't run into police all the time.

Word of caution:
- Be ready to be disappointed as the police state is finicky (It forgets it has already stopped chasing you, etc.), treat it only as a more "hardcore" career mode, where you have to armor your car to keep taking hits or be constantly on the run (it's fun!).
- Try out BeamLR mod for great traffic racing-focused content, it has police behavior altered so that almost no issues are present.

 

I was looking at BeamLR and the RLS CareerOverhaul but im trying to find out if there is a way to extract JUST the Police AI from the mod and into the game without having to use other parts of that mod. I appreciate you posting this, though! Ill definitely put it in my notes to try out later

 

I believe there's a zip file specifically just for that, you can find it on Github and it's probably named "police only" or smth like that. It will just add police traffic and nothing else!

 

You guys are awesome! Ill check it out and try both solutions! Thank you!

 

Just curious, Is there a way to enable weather / rain dynamics for career mode as well? I'm wanting it to cycle through the weather like it would in free roam. Also, second part to that question but is there a way to add wet roads WITHOUT having to use world editor for the sky box?
