Street Riders: Realistic NPC Wheelies

Street Riders adds physics-based wheelies and dynamic motorcycle gangs to Los Santos. Riders can patrol the city, form groups, and perform controlled wheelies in traffic or during chases.

Core features:

– Follow Player System
Gangs with CanFollowPlayer = true can escort the player. Two modes are available:
– Proximity: riders follow when you are nearby
– Dynamic: speed-based behavior, fast riding triggers leadership changes, slow riding returns autonomy
Toggle available with F7 or automatic activation based on riding style

– Dismount behaviors
– Wait: riders dismount and stay near the player with idle behavior
– Continue: one rider becomes the new leader
– Freestyle: riders stay on bikes and perform wheelies and loops around the player

– Realistic wheelie physics
Torque-based system with velocity damping. Bikes lift, stabilize, and balance during movement

– Zone and time-based spawning
Groups spawn in specific city areas based on configurable schedules

– Police pursuit system
Police detect riders and engage in extended chases (optional feature)

Customization:

– Per-bike tuning via INI sections like [Bike_MODELNAME]
– Mixed vehicles mode for randomized bikes per group
– Custom bike colors per group
– Adjustable follow radius, speed thresholds, and triggers

Each group has its own territory, colors, and schedule. Fully editable in INI files.
