Former developer at Rockstar North, the studio behind the popular game Grand Theft Auto franchise, reveals why sometimes planes are in GTA San Andreas Will only randomly crash near the player. He also provided some insight into why certain NPCs in the game take photos and then walk off cliffs to their deaths.
Late last year, former Rockstar North developer Obbe Vermeij posted some excellent blog posts documenting past Greater Toronto Area game and the original hunt. These articles are full of interesting insights and details about how these video games are created.but Vermeij later deleted the posts willingly.Since then, he’s been posting similar details on Twitter about how the game GTA San Andreas and vice city His most recent post pulled back the curtain on two fan-favorite myths.
Why planes randomly appear and crash near you
First, on April 2, Vermeij shared a lengthy but informative post on Twitter explaining why the plane was in san andreas Will fall from the sky, crash, and explode near the player for no apparent reason.If you have played san andreas Been around long enough and you’ve probably encountered this at least a few times.It also causes well-known problems Run quickly.
According to Vermeij’s post, the developers wanted to have small planes fly by players regularly. He created code that looked for obstacles in the plane’s path before it spawned. However, to save time, he scanned only a small portion of the front of the aircraft section. This means that tall, thin objects are sometimes missed, and the plane flies into those trees or power poles and crashes. And because the game tries to spawn these planes near the player, you’re always very close to these random crashes.
Vermeij further explained that sometimes these generated “fly-by” aircraft lose some altitude when spawned at incorrect speeds. There are also some issues with the way the map flows within buildings and other large models. Sometimes the plane is created before the mountains or towers appear, meaning the plane is spawned in a “destined flight path”.
“I was aware of these crashes and briefly considered canceling the flyovers entirely,” Vermeijer added.
However, thankfully he didn’t, and these strange planes made for many fun moments in speedruns, let’s play, and random sessions. San Andreas. I know one time when I was trying to jump off a big hill in the gaming desert, a plane took me out on a dirt bike. Damn plane!
After he gave his explanation, he attracted attention Greater Toronto Area Modders and coders silenced Further explanation These planes crash more often than they should due to collision detection errors, What Vermeij doesn’t know As confirmed on Twitter.
No, your luck statistics have nothing to do with planes crashing near you, Verme confirmed. This is just an internet myth.
Why is that NPC there? san andreas jump off cliff
After posting an explanation as to why the plane was GTA San Andreas With crashes happening so frequently and why it happens so close to players, many fans have asked more questions about the game. GTA San Andreas After all, it’s full of strange myths and urban legends.
One of the things that caught my attention was someone asking about a specific NPC in San Andreas who sometimes spawns on a cliff by the sea, takes a photo, and then walks into the water (and dies). If you look online, you can find old videos of people recording this creepy NPC, often with scary music playing in the background.
So what’s going on?Well, it turns out that the developers GTA San Andreas Use what are called “attractors,” which are in-game items, such as ATM machines or chairs, that NPCs walk toward after completing a scripted activity or action.
What might happen here is that the NPC takes a picture, completes the “action”, looks for a nearby attractor or a path to the attractor, and walks in that direction. Vermeijer suggests For this suicidal NPC, the closest attractor could be on the water, causing this creepy behavior.
in another article Verme confirmed this Fan theory suggests ghost car produced in san andreas It’s the result of the car spawning on a steep hill and then rolling down the slope, creating the illusion of a self-driving but empty car.
Oh, there’s one more Greater Toronto Area Urban legend while you were here. When asked if Bigfoot is real, Vimej says no.primates are not GTA San Andreas. But he does confirm that he exists in the real world. Good to know!
