CARS (IPL Section) (IPL section)

Short description:	Creates a IPL parked car generator
Supported games:	GTA SA, GTA IV

The CARS section is a simplified method to create parked cars. Usually parked cars are created by the Script, but just as unique stunt jumps they can be seperated and written inside plain text or binary IPLs. Since parked car generators are related into savegames a new game must be started before they are applied to the game. It is possible to create parked car generators without starting a new game using CLEO.^[1]

Format

CARS or parked car generators are used to place permanently, randomly or limited cars which are placed (parked) around the world. For this they need a position, a rotation, information about which car should be placed, the car's colors and some additional information.
