SA:O APISynchronized NPCs and road traffic

Restores the stock main.scm population-zone bootstrap inside San Andreas Online's reversible population world state.

Syntax

Copy signature

bool resetAmbientPedPopulationZonesToBootstrap()

Returns

true when the bootstrap state was restored; false when the population world is not available.

Ownership and lifecycle

Candidate queries create nothing. A multiplayer resource must validate each proposal, create and own the real NPCs and vehicles, assign one current syncer, handle ownership changes, and clean up every element. Native AI and event tokens belong to the calling resource and are revoked when that resource stops.
