Ability to use speed radar while in vehicles

[greenops011]

Suggestion for (MTA, Forum, website): MTA

Suggestion: Add the ability to use speed radar while in vehicles (i.e. helicopter, policecars)

Why should this be added?: Would definately make things more interesting, as if you are partnered with someone while in a heli, one of you could fly, and the other could run radar, and you could radio in the target vehicle to ground units

Anything else you'd like to add?: Just looking at the default "realdriveby" lua files, it is definately possible to restrict the driveby function to specific vehicles, and to specific weapons. I can try to mock up a script file that would be perfect for the server. I can also look into making it so only the player in the passenger seat can use it.

Or, you know, something like this would be nice for patrol cars instead of pointing a sniper rifle out the window of someone's Tahoe

so pretty much like adding the speed radar to the current ALPR system.

Only reason i suggested the "realdriveby" edit is mainly for when in a heli, you can zoom in on the vehicle you want to clock, whereas with the ALPR system, you can't do that. At any rate, I completed the edit to the default "realdriveby" files so that only "fbiranch", "copcarru", and "polmav" can do the "driveby" function, and the only weapon you can use is the sniper, or in the case of SAPDFR, the speedradar

Man, I was thinking that too.
