New effect: Bumper Peds

[gromchek]

This effect disable run over a ped by a vehicle. Instead of it, the vehicle will push away from the ped.
However, the player can still be run over by vehicle.

If the car is being pushed away from the ped, shouldn't it much rather be called something else?
Concrete to me would make it sound like you hit a ped and the car just stops

[gromchek]

I thought about it. While coding I decided to make car push away but didn't change the name.
Maybe "bump peds" would be more accurate

[Lordmau5]

Hmm... "Pinball Peds" or "Bumper Peds" might be an idea, or maybe even "Rubber Peds"...

[gromchek]

I think "Bumper Peds" is more accurate

I wonder if using the inst->Random method would be better than a static set of random Z-values?

Example here: https://github.com/gta-chaos-mod/Trilogy-ASI-Script/blob/3.0/src/gtasa/effects/custom/hud/ScreensaverHUDEffect.cpp#L123

You gotta make a copy of the instance (or reference rather) in the OnStart method and then you can use it in static methods, too

I've tested random Z value but that didn't turn out to be much fun. So I've decided to use fixed Z value. 0.3f value is enough to "jump over" most of fences in the game.
Any way I will check this out. It might be a good idea to apply move force after collision.

I don't think it needs to be higher, but I feel it can sometimes be lower to be honest - maybe 0.01 as well. So somewhere inbetween 0.01 and 0.3 maybe

Having the car just slide away is annoying as well, especially when you hit multiple peds after one another

Do you want to have an internal cooldown for pushing? Like 500-1000ms

Nono, what I meant is that I think it's annoying in a funny way if the car is just sliding at times as well, compared to it bouncing on every hit

Ok, I changed to random value between 0.01f and 0.2f
Looks good now
