Kiddion's External Ped Dropper v1.0.4 (2k drops)

Inspired by the "GTA5 Akuma" mod I wrote this completely external ped-dropper mod. It teleports NPCs above the player, kill them and increases the money pickups that they drop to 2000.

To use it:

• First download the external mod.
• Start GTA 5 and wait until you are in-game.
• Once the game has fully loaded, start the executable for your version (RSC or Steam). For Steam you may need to run it "As Administrator", depending on how Steam was started.
• Find a good spot to stand still for a while without any roof over your head. The pier, close to the "do not cross" wooden fence has proven to be an excellent spot, since most of the day a lot of human NPCs are spawned by the game.
• To start the hack, press Numpad+. This will start/increase the max rate of peds dropped per second. Numpad- will decrease the maximum rate. There are currently 13 steps, ranging from limiting up to 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 320 peds/second max.
• Just stand still at the same spot and receive all the money falling from the sky. Most money pickups will add 2k to your bank account. Since the mod is external, not all peds may teleport correctly and some will die elsewhere and some will not spawn any money pickup. (Alternatively you could start walking around and grab the money pickups after they have fallen on the floor behind you.)
• Press Numpad- key a couple of times to stop money from dropping.
• The executable will close itself once GTA5 is no longer running.

Advanced options:

This mod can be configured using an ini-file with the same name as your executable, except with .ini instead of .exe at the end.
All settings must be placed in a "ped-dropper" section, e.g.:
[ped-dropper]
MoneyValue=1337



Please note that I while I can test the RSC version thoroughly, I am unable to test the Steam version for myself since I don't own one.


Known issues:

• If you run this for too long GTA 5 might crash. This is caused by GTA 5 not cleaning up properly. To avoid this from happening, you could try switching locations or walk around in a circle.
• Sometimes no money is being dropped. If there are no peds nearby none can be killed for their money pickups. How many peds are spawned by the game depends on both the location and the in-game time-of-day.

Please report any issues!
