Just to add, i had so much fun with this the other day. Nice friendly restraunt conversation between ped friends turned into full scale riot.

I phoned for police and they got involved with peds, So many details and ped reactions that happened organically and were hilarious. Got about 20 mins of gta footage to edit now.

This mod is more or less perfect but weapon choice and player targeted on/off would still be ideal. I hope this can be made possible?

Fantastic mod! I think it would be a lot more popular if you put "Riot" anywhere in the mod title; most people probably can't even spell "provocateur".
I only have one request: can you include an alternative version of the mod where all the provoked peds are unarmed and everyone is just having fist fights? Maybe a few odd melee weapons, and have it so peds will only use their guns (if they have them) if they are attacked with guns themselves. That last parts probably just a pipe dream though.
Also I have a little bug report (it is negligible though): if provocateur mod is active and you are wanted, the police will frequently retreat. Particularly if they get out of their cars semi-far away from you; they will just start sprinting away like a spooked civilian. Also, the police helicopter that drops off the 4 swat guys by rappelling will always start to fly away in the middle of dropping off the first 2 swat guys, and they will fall off the rope a mile up in the air by the time they slide down to the end of it. You can fix it by just disabling provocateur, I just wish there were a little message that says when it is activated or de-activated.

@alphazolam @Kokolaty AGREED! This mod would be perfect if there was an option to have the peds riot unarmed. And also an option to be aggressive toward the player only. DO IT!!

Using this mod in combination with Trumple's Riot mod and the Cop Caller App .net script is amazing. The only thing is, it seems like the peds can get spooked by distant gunfire from rioting peds before they have a chance to think, and they will just start retreating and wont stop. With the cop-caller app, like 3/8 of the police in the Granger it spawns will immediately run away all panic-stricken, as will almost every single driver and regular/non-riot ped; Sometimes they will get shot while running away, get back up with their provocateur-provided weapon out, aiming it at their attacker, and then immediately turn around and resume their retreat. It's like the game is conflicted about whether to follow provocateur-mod or the regular ped panic behavior. Still, a lot of peds still do go aggro, like the firemen and paramedics, gangsters/tough-guys, and some people who crash their cars. And the mod works great without riot mod on; they just synergize so well though. Especially when you have a smaller amount of rioters to make up for the extra provocateur ones.

Absolutely amazing mod !

@alphazolam spell it like provocater, without u.

I think what's making the peds and cops retreat when this mod is active is that they're being equipped with melee weapons. Sometimes this mod seems to give out hatchets as a ped's weapon, but when someone starts shooting, these melee-armed peds start fleeing. Not 100% sure though. I've seen peds drop their long guns and start limping with a pistol due to bleed-out damage, then provocateur gives them a new gun and they're running around shooting again until they just keel over dead. I think this explains why sometimes the fleeing peds turn around and pull out a gun after being shot.

Hey, I finally realized you included the source file and stopped commenting and started making some changes myself! I changed the mod so that all peds fight with melee weapons ( @1998mode ) and so they cannot be spooked (also more of them target the player)
I posted it on GTAForums for now and tried to give you most of the credit, @Kokolaty

hey man any chance can make a mod that makes car tyres produce more smoke for bigger burnouts noone can help all say its not that straight forwad i tryd to change some things on the wheelfx.dat file failed bad please help

@Kokolaty I would like to know which scripthook sdk version you used to make this mod? Im looking at the source code you have provided and the only change I had wanted to make was to make each ped only carry rpgs ,but I have the newest sdk and am getting errors when compiling the script. Thankyou in advance

@alphazolam could you help me in finding the scripthook sdk version so i may be able to compile the code provided? It would be a big help

@Kokolaty Thankyou alot for this mod and @alphazolam I was able to change what I wanted to thanks to the guide you provided Thankyou

After i installed this mod, my game keeps saying 'Game Enixpectly Closed' and when i unistalled this mod my game keeps saying that it closes like that! HELP PLEASE!!

Better than Ped Riot Mod (y)

Wonderful!

However, I would like to see some RPGs in action... If anyone can put RPGs in peds' hand and share the file, that would be most welcome.

Great job, my favorite riot mode mod of the three I've tried. Only criticism I have is that dead peds often cling to their weapons. I like to start unarmed and scavenge from the fallen rioters.

every time i toggle this mod, it crashes my game. is anyone else having this problem? does anyone know a fix?

how do you change the keybind to start the riot?

So anyone have any solution to this mod making my bodyguards get scared and run off and my commands don't work with them anymore.

this is a cool mod

Nice mod. Works with no crashes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eULyhmIFt3k
