Ped Money v1. 4b

--------------------------------------------------
I found it nearly pointless for most peds to seemingly have less then $20 on them, if they have any money at all. So this is just a little script that makes peds drop more money.
It's a pretty basic script right now, but in the future I hope to expand and improve upon setting different amounts of money based on the type of ped. Ideas, suggestions, etc are welcome.
--------------------------------------------------
Information:
Sets nearby ped money to a random value between the min & max values.
You can set seperate min/max values for various different types of peds in the 'Configuration' section near the top of the PedMoney.lua file.
It only sets the ped's money if they have less then the min value, so no worries about taking money away from any peds. 'Bums' are opposite of this and set their money if they have more then the max value.
Money values below 10 dont seem to drop anything.
You can change the interval that controls how often the script will perform its nearby ped check in the 'Configuration' section near the top of the PedMoney.lua file. (default: 3000)
--------------------------------------------------
Installation:
Simply place the PedMoney.lua file inside the \scripts\addins\ directory in your base GTAV install location.
--------------------------------------------------
Requirements:
Script Hook V LUA Plugin For Script Hook V

--------------------------------------------------
Known Issues:
Cops don't drop any money
If peds have a money value below 10 they dont end up dropping any money at all
The script only checks for peds within a small radius, which means if you kill a ped that is far away, they will not have the amount of money set by this script.
--------------------------------------------------
Configuration:
Edit these values in the 'Configuration' section near the top of the PedMoney.lua file to customize the settings:
local Interval = 3000 -- Interval for nearby ped check (default: 3000)
local Money = {}
Money. Default_Min = 50 -- For peds that are not in any of the other groups
Money. Default_Max = 200 -- For peds that are not in any of the other groups
Money. CivMale_Min = 50
Money. CivMale_Max = 200
Money. CivFemale_Min = 50
Ped Money is a simple Lua script for GTA V that makes peds drop more money by setting their cash to a random value between configurable min and max amounts. It supports separate values for different ped types and only increases money, never decreases it.

- Back up your original PedMoney.lua before editing if you want to revert changes.
- Test the mod in a quiet area first to see how much money peds drop before adjusting the min/max values.
