canPedBeDraggedOut

Client-side
SA:O APINative ped tasks and gang tags

Check whether GTA currently allows a script-created NPC to be pulled out of its vehicle.

Syntax

bool canPedBeDraggedOut(ped thePed)

GTA task mapping

NATIVE GTA BEHAVIOR
No CTask is created

SCM equivalent: SET_CHAR_CANT_BE_DRAGGED_OUT

This is a policy query, not a CTask or completion check.

Arguments

thePedped

Script-created ped; players are rejected.

Returns

The persisted scalar value when present; otherwise the live native flag. A valid streamed-out script ped with no override returns true. Players and invalid elements return false.

Ownership and lifecycle

Low-level ped task calls require the client that simulates the living, streamed ped. Driving tasks also require control of the streamed vehicle. They do not create lifecycle handles; the optional native-task-runtime adds server-owned route epochs and reconstruction for drive_to routes. Gang-tag ownership is resource-exclusive, survives object streaming and recreation, and is released automatically when the owner stops.

Important behavior
  • Use this before a temporary setPedCanBeDraggedOut change when the previous behavior must be restored.
