   How do you come up with names?

   For the most part, names are easy enough to come up. If you're using a certain vehicle, part of the map or have specific captures, you can come up with a simple and catchy name. I'm finding it a bit difficult to come up with names now, especially for races. I could easily call it the area and GP, but that's getting old now. How do you come up with fun and exciting names for your jobs?

   Possible temporary fix for editing CPs

   When editing or inserting CPs, just spin the CP around until it reaches the direction you want it to point and then hit X. It's supposed to stay pointed the direction you want it to doing it this way. A friend who creates a lot told me this but I haven't tested it out yet.

   LTS and T/DM issues

   I've noticed starting weapons, LTS timers, and LTS ambient settings changing to default settings when editing in the creator since the update. Also, if any word in your title, description, or search tag is now on the forbidden list, you can't have an edited job 'versioned' until you change the word(s) or take it out completely.

   So in a GTA race you can leave your vehicle and enter any other vehicle. You can hit checkpoints on foot or in any vehicle. With traffic ON there are going to be vehicles around. With wanted level ON there are some places that makes things even further interesting. cp's can be placed forcing you to leave your vehicle. What can YOU do with this? What I have been trying so far is to set a race to start on cycles, to encourage stealing something faster. What I also have created is a long race where you need to drop the bike and travel in stolen vehicles. I have included some areas like inside Fort Zancudo to get some extra action and the option to be airborne for a…

   Capture Rounds & Time Limits

   • 1.1k views

   I've noticed a few creators like to make captures 2 rounds with a 10 minute limit per round. Is there a specific reason why this is done? I'm curious to know as a two round capture could easily take up to 30 minutes to complete since it's the best of two rounds. Pros on two rounds: - Both teams get to experience the capture from a different point of view. Cons on two rounds: - It could wear people out from spending up to 30 minutes in a playlist doing one capture. Personally, setting captures to one round and 10 minutes seems to work the best. It's like playing a TDM, but with more action happening. Feel free to add your pros/cons to my tiny little…

   Hey guys so the title pretty much says it. I've been working on my Capture Panto Pigeon Shooting since finding out that once a panto is delivered the respawn is on the road bridge above the capture setting (On the railway). What I want to know is has anyone come across this? were you able to fix this? and if you were able to fix this what did you do? I don't have much experience with captures but have tried a few things, these are what I've tried but the problem still persists. Moved the repawn points of the two teams away from the pantos Picked up and put down the pantos Deleted all the pantos and replaced them I'm honestly at a loss and really want this capt…

   As per Hatch's outburst request, I have spent nearly 12 hours over the last few days in the Creator. I've been polishing my current races into better jobs. Now most of them were minor changes. Nearly all of them got Vans added to them. All of them received the updated Cars. A few got complete rebuilds. A few others did not get touched. The Scouring Series, Maze Bank Enduro, and Saturday Night Thunder did not get touched. So far, all I have left are from T's to the Z's. So any and all feedback on the changes are welcome.

    Created Captures not showing up under my jobs

    I have created and published a new GTA capture and for some reason it isn't showing up under my jobs when I try to host it. I have gone into the social club and it shows up there, I have also bookmarked it and it still won't show up for me. I tried to edit and republish it and still nothing.. I spoke to G and he also noticed one of his captures wasn't showing up for him either. Has anyone else ever had this problem and know how to fix it? Here is the link to it if anyone wants to see if they can get it to show up in game http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/jobs/job/jEG4-XgwcE2vRsE_gqGMZw

    T/DM spawn placements

    For normal DM, placements all over the map seem to be the most common. For TDM, I've seen placements all over the map, and placements done in a squarish shape. What type of spawn placements work better to prevent spawn killing?

    In wrapping poles for races I am finding many I cannot wrap and instead have to place the tire stack on my guess of where the pole can be hit from In the first pic is the poles I can wrap, the 2nd pic shows a pole with a concrete base and I can not wrap. Is there a way to wrap it or do I have to deal with it

    I've just been reading about the ps4 shareplay feature (still don't fully understand how it works). Would it be possible for 2 people to be in the creator together? If so, it could be useful for either making a joint creation or giving help on checkpoint/prop placement. Just a thought......

    How do you create races?

    • 1.3k views

    Do you plan out a route using the map that comes with the game? Maybe you drive around in free roam, mentally mapping a route? Do you drop a CP, then randomly choose left or right before plonking down the next CP? Maybe you zoom right out in the creator and look for an intesting route that way? Or is there some other way that yields success for you? (I've tried all of the stuff above and have yet to make anything memorable or popular)

    If I create an LTS for four teams, will it only be playable by four teams, or can the host alter the number of teams? I have an idea which will only work with 4 teams with a fuller lobby, and 2 teams if there are fewer players. I could make 2 versions if need be, but thought I'd ask here first. TIA

    Jobs will not show up on RSC

    I have 2 Jobs that are not capable of being Bookmarked. Sultans of Sandy Shores, and PowerSlide. I noticed recently that RSC shows them as requiring a certain rank to play them. Not sure how that happened. But this is what I see. Sultans of Sandy Shores requires level 3. But still will not show up on Bookmarks. PowerSlide requires level 8800. This seems a little strange. But explains why it is not available for Bookmarking. Any ideas what I can do about this, short of recreating them?

    BMX bike races

    If you've created or played a fun BMX bike race please post them here and provide a link to it on Social Club. I was not able to find any using the advance search function. I know De-Raux has one or two which might have come up but since they didn't it leads me to believe that search or tags might not work for these obscure types of races or we just don't have many in the crew. I played one hosted by a random a few months ago and at first wanted to quit but stuck with it and had a lot of fun. Forgot to bookmark it though. Looked for something similar here and only found the race by De-Raux. I ran that a couple times solo and it's fun too but not as epic as the ran…

    Post-heist update issue with the Dukes, Marshal, and Carbon RS

    I noticed after the heist update, any race I had locked with the Dukes, Marshal, or Carbon RS somehow made these vehicles unavailable to choose during vehicle selection. Editing these races in the creator, the box next to them was unchecked. Even after rechecking the box, the vehicles cannot be made the default vehicle. You can select them after they are versioned and play them outside the creator. This issue might also impact races locked with the Hotknife, Khamelion, and the Blista Compact pre-heist update.

    Props in a race

    What do you think about the use of props in a normal race. How do you place them and why? The illustration is to show a turn where the yellow is the CP, the red circle is a tirestack and the black is a barrier. The most basic as far as my thoughts. In this case the red circle is to help the driver not to cut the corner to close, to prevent from hitting something or take a not intended shortcut. The placement of the CP is to guide the driver on what to expect and where to aim. Also its nive to see the next CP once you passed one, and that it is placed so you have time to react and plan your course. The barrier seems not needed, unless one wants to furthe…
