I dont think there is a way of grouping them, you have to iterate through all the NPCs. We do it like this: //how many peds you want to be affected const int size = 1024; //container for the peds Ped peds[size]; //filling the ped container and counting how many are in it (the method "worldGetAllPeds" tries to put 'size' amount of peds into 'peds' and returns the actual amount it was able to assign int count = worldGetAllPeds(peds, size); //looping though the peds for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { //do something with peds[i] //example for health ENTITY::SET_ENTITY_MAX_HEALTH(peds[i], HEALTHVALUE); ENTITY::SET_ENTITY_HEALTH(peds[i], ENTITY::GET_ENTITY_MAX_HEALTH(peds[i], 0), 0); } Dont forget to check if the current ped is not the player and if its human. The player and animals are also peds.

We use SET_ENTITY_HEALTH and SET_ENTITY_MAX_HEALTH.

Thats unfortunate :/

582 and 594 seem to be fleeing tasks. When someone is drawing his weapon and fighting me, there are tasks in this order: 343, 355, 364 and 428 (I think the 428 is the fighting one, the others are for drawing guns or going into some stance, I suppose). When NPCs are walking around and I shoot them, tasks I get are 47 and 320 (I guess 320 is the walking one and 47 is being hit or so?). Have not found the bleeding one yet 😕 Edit: 603 seems to be writhing on the ground. 121 is in a chain of multiple tasks when someone is dying. 608 seems to be the last task in a chain when dying on the ground while writhing. When someone is burning, its 39 then 588. I suppose bleeding out (at least some versions of them) is one of those: 56, 57, 243 (more tests necessary, though - cant say anything right now) Here is the code for drawing the tasks on screen, in case anyone wants to try stuff (draws a list of tasks on the screen, the ped you are aiming at is doing): char c[40]; std::string text = "NPC Task ID: "; Player player = PLAYER::PLAYER_ID(); Ped playerPed = PLAYER::PLAYER_PED_ID(); strcpy(c, text.c_str()); DrawText(0.15, 0.15, c); if (WEAPON::IS_PED_WEAPON_READY_TO_SHOOT(playerPed)) { Entity playerTarget; if (PLAYER::GET_ENTITY_PLAYER_IS_FREE_AIMING_AT(player, &playerTarget)) { for (int g = 0; g < 999; g++) { if (g != 582 && g != 594 && AI::GET_IS_TASK_ACTIVE(playerTarget, g)) { if (text.find("," + std::to_string(g) + ",") == string::npos) { if (text == "NPC Task ID: ") text += std::to_string(g); else text += "," + std::to_string(g); strcpy(c, text.c_str()); DrawText(0.15, 0.15, c); } } } } } Edit 2: Could it be that there is no task for the artery shot behavior? It seems to me that every time I think I have the right task id, it turns out not being it^^

Do we know what the task for the arterial bleeding stumbling is? (I want to check if a ped is in this bleeding mode) What does this mean: CTaskPersistentCharacter

Hello Peter, welcome. Looking forward to trying out your future creations :)

OK, so I tested it (didnt have much time, though) and I think it works. I used the voice and the line you gave me and tried it in Blackwater with the 7 seconds delay. Only very few NPCs spoke the line (I suppose those who have this voice). Thanks for clearing things up! Unfortunately, this non-generic version does not help me. Maybe I can find some workaround, since it seems the voices have similar names to the NPC models? Edit: @Lambda LMS wrote a few posts back, that they implemented a method in the RagePluginHook where they dont pass a voice name and the native still works (with the respective voice of the ped passed to the function). Do you know how this could work in C++? Edit 2: Soooo, I tried a few things and this seems to work struct ScriptedSpeechParams { const char* speechName; const Any* voiceName; alignas(8) int v3; alignas(8) Hash speechParamHash; alignas(8) Entity entity; alignas(8) BOOL v6; alignas(8) int v7; alignas(8) int v8; }; void PedFearTest(Ped ped) { string speechline = "LAW_HAIL"; ScriptedSpeechParams params{ speechline.c_str(), 0, 1, 0x67F3AB43, 0, true, 1, 1 }; AUDIO::x_PLAY_AMBIENT_SPEECH1(ped, (Any*)&params); } I picked the line "LAW_HAIL" because a lot of NPCs seem to have it and also there are two versions of it (LAW_HAIL_01, LAW_HAIL_02). What's curious is, that only very few NPCs actually play that line (although I try to trigger it for each NPC) and they seem to repeat the same line over and over, so no switching between the two versions. If I use "LAW_HAIL_01" or the other one, nothing happens. I will try a bit more in the coming weeks and see if can get every NPC to speak. If you have more wisdom to drop on me, please do so. Thanks for all the help until now, guys! Edit 3: Had a faulty code part in my loop. Now everything works as intended (except for the thing where NPCs only speak one version of the line over and over again - so still no way to trigger LAW_HAIL_02). Thank you 🙂

@Lambda I didnt have much time yesterday, so I just quickly adjusted the helper file and didnt fiddle with the main script at all (and apparently overlooked that I forgot to change the bool to void. The main script I posted here, was not copied and pasted, but I typed the stuff in here. The timer checkings are done before the ped loop, I dont know why I typed it that way yesterday, I just wanted to demonstrate what I do with your code. I will try to optimize the thing on the weekend and get back with the results. Please keep in mind, that I am a noob and do not code professionally. Thanks for responding so quickly! Edit: Is there a way to make NPCs speak each with their own voice (so a generic value for the voice parameter)?

@Lambda OK, so I tried it now and my code looks as follows; Helper file: struct ScriptedSpeechParams { const char* speechName; const char* voiceName; alignas(8) int v3; alignas(8) Hash speechParamHash; alignas(8) Entity entity; alignas(8) BOOL v6; alignas(8) int v7; alignas(8) int v8; }; void PlayAmbientSpeech(Ped ped, std::string speechline, std::string voice) { ScriptedSpeechParams params{ speechline.c_str(), voice.c_str(), 1, 0x67F3AB43, 0, true, 1, 1 }; AUDIO::x_PLAY_AMBIENT_SPEECH1(ped, (Any*)&params); } bool PedFearTest(Ped ped) { PlayAmbientSpeech(ped, "FAREWELL_NO_SALE", "0078_U_M_M_BLWTRAINSTATIONWORKER_01"); } Adapted native function wrapper: static BOOL _PLAY_AMBIENT_SPEECH1(Ped ped, char* speechName) { return invoke<BOOL>(0x8E04FEDD28D42462, ped, speechName); } static BOOL x_PLAY_AMBIENT_SPEECH1(Ped ped, Any* p1) { return invoke<BOOL>(0x8E04FEDD28D42462, ped, p1); } Main method (the relevant parts): int yolo = 0; while (true) { const int ARR_SIZE = 1024; Ped peds[ARR_SIZE]; int count = worldGetAllPeds(peds, ARR_SIZE); for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { if (yolo < GAMEPLAY::GET_GAME_TIMER() && peds[i] != PLAYER::PLAYER_PED_ID()) { PedFearTest(peds[i]); yolo = GAMEPLAY::GET_GAME_TIMER() + 7000; } } } So what it should do is make the NPCs say the speech line every 7 seconds, but unfortunately it isnt working. Does the line only work for the ped model belonging to the voice? I tried setting the voice to 0, but that crashes script hook.

First off, thanks for responding! Which entity plays the speech if none is passed to the function? Edit: Oh, the one which is passed to the native function?
