**Police Chase Script - Beta Version 0.1 by DjDominias**
Hello BeamNG community,
I'm excited to share a new script I've been working on: **Police Chase Script**. This script is designed to respawn 6 police vehicles that will chase the player in BeamNG.drive. The police vehicles are tough to destroy, have maximum driving skills, and minimal collision risk.
### How the Script Works:​

1. **Vehicle List**: The script defines a list of police vehicle names to be respawned:
```lua
local policeVehicles = { "police1", "police2", "police3", "police4", "police5", "police6" }
```
2. **Respawn Function**: This function respawns police vehicles, sets chase mode, durability, driver skills, and minimal collision risk:
```lua
local function respawnPoliceVehicles()
for _, vehicleName in ipairs(policeVehicles) do
local vehicleId = scenetree.create("Vehicle", vehicleName, {position = vec3(0, 0, 0), rotation = quat(0, 0, 0, 1)})
local ai = scenetree.findObjectById(vehicleId):getComponent("ai")
ai:setMode("chase")
local veh = scenetree.findObjectById(vehicleId)
veh:setDamageType("high")
ai:setSkill(1.0)
ai:setAvoidRisk(0.0)
end
end
```
3. **Initialization Function**: This function starts the respawn of police vehicles:
```lua
local function onInit()
respawnPoliceVehicles()
end
M.onInit = onInit
return M
```
4. **Loading the Script**:
1. Find the game directory: Go to the BeamNG.drive game directory.
2. Create a script folder: In the game directory, create a `lua` folder, then a `police_chase` folder, and place the Lua script (`police_chase.lua`) inside.
3. Edit the mission file: Locate the mission file in the game directory and add the path to the `police_chase.lua` script.​

1. ### Potential Bugs:
2. As this is a beta version (0.1), there might be some bugs. Potential issues include:
3. - Vehicles not respawning correctly
4. - AI behavior not functioning as intended
5. - Collisions not being handled properly
6. ### Request for Feedback:
