How to create a police car plugin?

[Chimbotieso]

I'm just starting to try creating plugins for Theotown. I already have experience creating mods and plugins for games, but this is the first time I'm doing it for Theotown.I know how to draw, but I don't know how the game code works. I want to understand how the cars function, especially the AI or code that controls the police cars, If it were possible to create vehicle variants so that they all fulfill the same function, or if I could also give it behavior similar to a police helicopter,I want to create a mod where I replace the vanilla models with pixel art models of the Harran police cars from Dying Light. That is, a sedan and a van that can spawn in police stations and fulfill the same function and have the same behavior, even though they are different vehicles.

For police cars, most of the behavior is tied to their vehicle type/service role in the plugin settings. If you create your sedan and van and assign them the same police-related properties as the vanilla police cars, they should automatically spawn from police stations and behave the same way — even if the sprites are different.
As for helicopter-like behavior, that’s handled differently (air vs road movement), so you’d need to define it as an aircraft-type vehicle.
