The Driver Syndicate/Scripting/Mission Scripting

Overview

There are almost endless possibilities to create missions. As an example you can look at the default missions (located in: GameData\scripts\missions\story_demo)

For creating and testing missions and minigames usa always Release.exe!

Missions

This will be a big chapter. That's why there's a separate page for it.

See here: Creating Missions

Minigames

You can check "GameData\scripts\missions\minigame" for reference

Gates

These ara simple to create:

1. Start Freeride mode on the level you want to create the minigame.
2. Drive to your desired starting point. Open the console with the key below escape key.
3. Then type "trailbrazer_gates_record" and press enter and drive your route. when the counter reaches 100 the script is saved in "GameData/trailblazer_generated.txt".
4. Now you can rename the file as you desire and move it into "scripts\trailblazer\gates" of your mod/Addon. (remember the filename for next step)
5. In "scripts\missions\minigame\gates" you need a .lua file with following content:

-- Mission script for trail blazer/gates

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

world:SetLevelName("default") --set levelname here
world:SetEnvironmentName("dawn_clear") --set weather here

MISSION.MusicScript = "nyc_day" -- set music here
MISSION.Hud = TrailblazerGame.GatesHud

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Mission initialization
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function MISSION.Init()
	local playerCar = gameses:CreateCar("mustang_f", CAR_TYPE_NORMAL) --set car here
	playerCar:Spawn()
	playerCar:SetColorScheme( 2 )
	gameses:SetPlayerCar( playerCar )

	-- init game mode
	TrailblazerGame.Init( "gates/gt01", true ) -- replace gt01 with your filename (point 5)
end

After this you only need to add the minigame in your ModInit file

(this needs to be described in more detail here)
