@Trevcio Friend, thank you for your feedback. It's cool when a character can rise from the bottom up in role play or something like that. To be honest, I've already played GTA 5 online. I had a lot of money and stuff. But GTA 5 online doesn't have the most important thing, which is role play. I thank Rockstar for GTA 5. But unfortunately there's no role play there. They'll never understand this. You modders are saving the gaming industry. Because without mods it would die. May your work be more respected. I wish you success and victories in your creativity.
saying were only a couple steps away from hobo life simulator in gta 5 . good job on the script brother. now we can search dumpsters and hide in them ^_^
@DonDonny Cool mod. Author, can you fix the collision of trash bins so that the head doesn't go through?
@DNO-TW1TCHA I was thinking about it, and I need just to put other animation
@DonDonny Yeees! Thanks for opinion!
@My_ Dick_ Is_Big Yes, I agree man, GTA online should be more realistic and made for players, not for money. It's really nice to hear that your work is appreciated. Thanks a lot for your words, take care!
@Trevcio great if you fix collision aniation .It will be a better mod .Thank you for your work
@DNO-TW1TCHA No problem, I'm gonna work on this, thanks for your words
This is such a cool mod, one of my new favourites! :-D
Could you please consider changing/adding a few things?
- Change: Character input completely disabled (they're frozen in place which is good, but I can still walk/run/jump during the dumpster search, which breaks immersion)
- Change: Temporarily making the player unarmed during the search, then re-arming them with whichever weapon they originally had (breaks immersion to be holding an RPG while searching)
- Addition: The ability to gift scraps/money to other homeless people, maybe in exchange for them being your bodyguard/helping you search dumpsters and splitting profits with you/just to be nice/some other perk
- Addition: Some gentle glass shard SFX when searching dumpsters (for a little variety -- the current SFX are a great addition already BTW!)
- Addition: INI boolean for enabling/disabling map blips
@late4work Thanks a lot for your comment, I'm gonna add those things in the next update. If you have any others ideas you can write them up. Thanks again for some nice words! Have a nice day
@Trevcio Thanks for your mod and planning on implementing my ideas. :-)
Here are some trash receptacles I found that I noticed aren't supported by v1.2 of the mod, if you'd like to add these also (I maybe missed some others): https://imgur.com/a/PTsPcPM
One other suggestion I have is that, if you disable all character input while searching, I think keeping the ability to use the special power would be helpful (I was playing as Trevor and being shot at by the police, and decided to search some dumpsters while wanted, and being able to enable his invincibility power during that time was incredibly helpful) -- SafeCracker ( https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/safecracker ) does this well, if the reference helps.
Also, a side note, could you please release the source code for this mod? I checked the archives but wasn't able to find it unfortunately. I'm not a programmer but I'm curious to take a look at how it operates, and maybe I can learn!
Thanks for your reply back, and I hope you have a nice day also!
I just noticed a glitch: you can activate the script while on a bicycle (breaks immersion/accidental begin script process). I think adding an "is player on foot" check before showing the "Press E" prompt would be helpful.
@late4work oo thanks man, today i'm gonna fix it and add some features
@late4work realy thanks for it, i'm gonna add those dumpsters, I need to try add using special powers cuz, I don't now it is possible and yes, I think I'm gonna add this on my github with source code in a few days!
@Trevcio Cool, thanks so much for your replies and hard work on this, cheers mate. :-)
Found another dumpster as I was playing today: https://i.imgur.com/Ute14ie.jpg
@late4work Thanks!
@late4work okay, I'm gonna add it, thanks a lot for reporting it
@Trevcio Thanks, much appreciated!
@Trevcio I have an idea for a new mod, if you're looking for more ideas to implement. I checked the site and couldn't really find anything that did what I'm thinking of.
When hanging out with NPCs (like Trevor calling Franklin and Lamar, Michael calling Jimmy, etc.), I find that they lose health and die easily during gunfights, and when their health is low there's no way to replenish it. My thought was, if there were a mod that allows you to share a health pack with them/buy a soda for them/buy snacks for them and it'd replenish their health. Also if they sit in ambulances it'd replenish their health to 100% (like the player), and also you can buy armor for them or give them armor pickups you find on the map (player can choose whether to let a specific NPC use it or the player character use it).
Just wanted to share an idea I thought of. :-)
