Former developer at the hugely popular studio Rockstar North. car theft The franchise has revealed why he sometimes flies. GTA: San Andreas Crashes occur randomly near the player. He also gave some insight into why certain NPCs in the game take pictures and fall off cliffs to their deaths.
Late last year, former Rockstar North developer Obbe Vermeij posted an interesting blog documenting the development of Rockstar North. past GTA stratagem and the original manhunt. This article is full of interesting insights and details about how video games are made. but Vermeij later deleted the post. voluntarily. Since then, he has been posting similar details on Twitter about how the game is played. GTA: San Andreas and vice city developed, and his most recent post lifted the curtain on two fan-favorite myths.
Why do planes spawn randomly and crash nearby?
First, on April 2, Vermeij shared a lengthy but informative post on Twitter explaining why the plane flies the way it does. san andreas It falls from the sky for no reason, crashes, and then explodes near the player. If you’ve ever played san andreas Long enough, you’ve probably encountered this problem at least a few times. It is also famous for causing problems such as: speedrun.
According to Vermeij’s post:, the developers wanted a small plane to periodically fly next to the player. He created some code to find obstacles in the plane’s path before it was spawned. But to save time, he only scanned a small area in front of part of the plane. This means that sometimes large, thin objects are missed and the plane crashes into these trees or power poles. And because the game tries to spawn these planes near the player, it’s always more of these random collisions.
Vermeij further explained that sometimes the “flying” planes created this way can have slightly lower heights if they are created at the wrong speed. There were also some issues with the way maps were streamed for buildings and other large models. Sometimes planes would spawn before large mountains or towers appeared, meaning they would spawn with an “unlucky flight path”.
“I knew about the crash and briefly considered removing the airship altogether,” Vermeij added.
But thankfully he didn’t, and this strange plane led to tons of fun moments in speedruns, let’s play, and random sessions. San Andreas. I know I’ve been on a plane and on a dirt bike when I tried to jump off a big mountain in the desert in the game. Damn airplane!
Noticed after he posted the description: GTA Modders and Coders Silent Additional explanation The fact that these planes crash more often than expected due to crash detection bugs; What Vermey didn’t know As confirmed on Twitter.
And no, your luck statistics have nothing to do with a plane crashing near you. Vermey confirmed. It’s just an internet myth.
Why did that NPC come in? san andreas jump off that cliff
After posting an explanation as to why the plane was going in: GTA: San Andreas Many fans have had more questions about the game, including why it crashes so frequently and near players. GTA: San Andreas After all, it’s full of strange myths and urban legends..
One of the things that caught my attention was a question asked about a specific NPC in San Andreas. This NPC will sometimes spawn on a cliff near the ocean, take a picture, then walk into the water and die. If you look online, you’ll find old videos of people documenting these creepy NPCs, usually with scary music in the background.
So what is going on here? Well, the developers GTA: San Andreas We used what are known as “attractors,” which are in-game items such as an ATM or chair that an NPC heads towards after completing a scripted activity or task.
What’s likely to happen here is that the NPC will take a photo, and after completing that “job”, it will find a nearby attractor or route to an attractor and head towards it. Suggested by Vermey For this suicidal NPC, the nearest attractor may be across the water, which can lead to some creepy behavior.
In another post Vermey confirmed that much Fan theory is that the ghost car is generated from san andreas The result is that the car spawns on a steep hill and then rolls down the slope, giving the appearance of an autonomous but empty car.
Oh and one more thing GTA Urban legend while you’re here. When asked if Bigfoot is real, Vermey said no.There are no primates GTA San Andreas. But he confirmed that he exists in the real world. Worth knowing!
