BeamNG Mod: Random Events V1.6.0.0 0.38

This mod is currently under active development. There may be some rough edges, occasional issues with AI behavior, and events that don’t yet work perfectly on every road or map. Future updates will include more events, smarter AI driving logic, and expanded player interaction features. Please report any issues you encounter. Thank you!
Random Events transforms any map into a living, breathing world. Drive in Free Roam mode, and the world around you will fill with realistic scenes—aggressive racers, roadblocks with concrete barriers, accidents with wreckage, police chases, drifters in parking lots, motorcades, ambulances, and much more. Everything is determined and placed in real time based on the road network and parking lot data of the loaded map, so the mod works on both official and custom maps without any manual configuration required for each map.

Features
20 different world events that automatically appear and disappear depending on your location and a customizable appearance rate per minute.
Map-independent environment generation. The mod scans the road network and parking data of any loaded map. It uses BeamNG’s built-in parking spots if they are present on the map, and if not, it applies geometric scanning using raycast.
Persistent scan cache. When a map is first loaded, the scan is performed once; on subsequent loads, the result is read from disk for instant startup. If the map data changes, the cache is automatically flushed using the map fingerprint.
In-game UI app. Add the Random Events app via the Apps menu. The compact view shows the system status—ON/OFF, active events, and scan progress. The expand button opens a full settings panel with toggles for each event, chance sliders, manual spawn buttons, and distance settings. The transparency toggle lets you make the panel less noticeable so it doesn’t obstruct your view while driving. When you hover over it, the panel immediately returns to full opacity.
Mod-generated vehicles are registered as traffic, so they don’t interfere with switching vehicles using the Tab key. Roadworks, props, and barriers are also skipped when switching via the Tab key.
Customizable spawn and disappearance distances for events, so you can choose how close events will appear and how far away they’ll remain before being cleared.
37 events

Traffic And Races:
Racers – Aggressive AI cars drive through the road network with maximum aggression and ignore lane-keeping rules.
Convoy – A convoy of 3–5 traffic cars moves together at the general speed limit.
Slow vehicle—a truck, bus, dump truck, or road roller moves slowly along the road, causing a line of cars to form behind it.
Ghost jam—a short line of cars where the lead vehicle periodically brakes sharply. A wave of braking travels backward through the line, like a real phantom traffic jam.
Street race – 3–4 racers line up on a staggered starting grid and race together along a generated route with maximum aggression.
Drag race – Two racers stand side by side on a long straight stretch, and both floor it.
Roadworks And Obstructions:
Roadworks – Random road closures with six sets of props: concrete Jersey barriers, plastic water-filled barriers, oil drums, crowd barriers, delineators, and traffic signal signs. Five layout patterns are also used: single-lane narrowing, full closure, chicane, detour, and light cones. Each spawn selects a random combination of set and pattern for variety, and the traffic AI reroutes around the closure.
Police:
Police chase – a fleeing racer and one or two police cars in pursuit mode with their emergency lights on.
Police patrol – A single police car drives along a generated route at normal speed.
Police checkpoint – Concrete barriers block the road, leaving a narrow passage; warning cones are set up ahead, and two police cars with their emergency lights on are parked nearby.
Motorcade – A VIP sedan, escorted by police cars, moves in formation along a common route.
Accidents And Breakdowns:

Crash – A multi-car accident scene with damaged parts, flat tires, hazard lights, and warning cones. Traffic AI slows down and detours around the accident scene.
Stalled car – A single broken-down car is parked on the shoulder with its hazard lights on.
Delivery stop – A delivery van is parked on the shoulder with its hazard lights on and the engine off.
Ambulance – An ambulance is driving quickly along a generated route with its siren on.
Scenes In Parking Lots:
Drifters – One or two cars are performing controlled donuts in a random parking lot, with ESC and TC turned off.
Cars & Coffee – 8–12 cars are neatly parked in real parking spaces, with their engines off. Static car gathering.
Abandoned lot – 4–7 abandoned cars are scattered across the parking lot at haphazard angles; most of the cars are visibly damaged.
Street Racers’ Hangout – Spectators’ cars form a ring around the perimeter of the parking lot, while a car in the center is doing donuts.
Player Interaction:
Race challenge – An opponent appears behind you, catches up with flashing headlights, then abruptly overtakes you at full throttle, as if challenging you to a race.
Installation
AppData\Local\BeamNG\BeamNG.drive\current\mods\random_events.zip
Add the Random Events mod via the “Apps” menu in Free Ride mode and enable the system.
Known Limitations
AI driving along routes works, but it can still get stuck on unusual terrain. Smarter route logic is one of the top priorities for the next update.
Some props may be slightly misaligned on maps without pre-generated parking data.
On some user-created maps with a sparse road network, fewer events will appear than on dense official maps.
What’s Next
Improved AI route logic and smarter post-collision recovery.
A system of profiles and templates for quickly enabling event groups: Police RP, Racing, Chill Cruise, Chaos, Everything.
More events: a multi-phase tow truck, weather changes, nighttime events, player chases, roadside assistance requests, and much more.
Intensity zones so that events occur more frequently in cities and less frequently in rural areas.
Friends, please note: the mod is in a very early alpha stage, so it will have many bugs and issues. Let’s improve and fix this mod together! Over time, it will become a major project with a multitude of events that will add more excitement and fun to BeamNG.drive.

In Version 1.6.0.0:
New events added;
The mod has been optimized. To stop lag from occurring when spawning, click the “Warm Up” button in the UI (there’s a general one and category-specific ones). After clicking the button, lag will start—wait until everything stabilizes, and now there won’t be any lag when spawning for most events.
