Introduction

 This plugin aims to change one of the most unrealistic parts about LSPDFR - the taser. As it currently stands now, the taser will always successfully stun the suspect up until a certain threshold, where the taser is then out of range and ineffective. This plugin has two options - either a user-defined probability of the taser being effective regardless of the range, or a probability depending on how far away the taser is from the suspect.

 

Requirements

  • LSPDFR 0.4.9 (Or Newer, if applicable)

  • Most Recent Version of RagePluginHook

  • Most Recent, Legal Copy of GTAV (Steam, Epic, or Retail All Work)

 

Installation Instructions

Unzip the file. Copy ALL of the Contents of the “Grand Theft Auto V” folder into your MAIN “Grand Theft Auto V” or “GTAV” Directory, which contains “GTAV.exe” in it.
 

Features

All these features can be customized and enabled/disabled in the RealisticTaser.ini Config File.

 

  • Taser Success Probability - Specify the probability of the taser being successful, regardless of how far away the player is from the Suspect

  • Taser Success Based on Range - The probability of the taser being successful depends on how far the player is from the Suspect. A detailed description is below.

    • Scale Factor - Change how the Taser behaves based on your “feel” for the game.

  • Limit Reloads - Limit the taser to a certain amount of shots (default is 2) as in real life. Reload Animations can be enabled/disabled.

    • Replenish Taser in Vehicle - The Taser will replenish to the specified amount of shots every time the player enters a Police Vehicle

  • UI - A basic UI indicating how many shots are left in the Taser, similar to the Ammo Counter for other weapons. Can be adjusted or disabled entirely.

  • Dry Fire - The Taser will produce a Dry Fire (click) sound if fired when not reloaded.

 

How the Plugin Works

As mentioned, there are two main options with this plugin. A detailed description of how each option works is below:

User-defined Taser Success Probability

Using the “Taser Success Probability” option in the Config file, you can specify the probability that the taser will be effective, regardless of how far the player is from the suspect, provided the suspect is within the default taser range. Setting this to 0 means the taser will never work, and 100 will always work (provided the suspect is in range).

 

By default, this is set to 69% (nice), the average taser effectiveness reported by Police Departments in 12 major U.S. cities in 2015, according to a 2019 NPR article titled “Despite Widespread Use, Police Rate Tasers As Less Effective Than Believed”.

Y8v7crPfiixnjcGjsaDJ0iaHU7-8SV2yMdqooOQs-NxwEnMU2QPBIJyaH0RKScRZGy7ERzkK7zQm5pJ9tF92KPf50mPZ03ok-NJNYaaGHPqvNw_9jMWhi1pjLvokL8vX_afyzYnW5mj7g5gBGw

 

Range-defined Taser Success Probability

This is, in my opinion, the better option. When “Taser Success Based on Range” is set to true in the Config file, the chance of an effective taser deployment will depend on how far away the player is from the suspect. This is the default setting.

_e590ZvS23KRvSJHntrCoSMYQxY8peKAY9QxANFDXgeH4z324hW_2Bsx9wKPhlptKOgd5wJY-Reh34m-M78u_TREL0s2GAiV6ywzSC2JvNOut3dnP5Yi2sBxXnGS8Vj8EpJMlCYaYW8HHmURDA

 

Using the above data from the same article from both New York and Fort Worth, it is clear that taser effectiveness is far higher when the suspect is between 3 feet (1 meters) and 10 feet (3 meters) away. Effectiveness drops significantly after this threshold. Extrapolating this data results in the following graph (note the probability of success (%) is the y-axis, and the range (in meters) is the x-axis.

akzNTovEC5h6F1-QzaeY7p7j-zrYBS4fNBDcg1tOUtow7pf2-HyCvAWWHcyPJ5I6mY79oeOhjzh4wd2VU9r1xSOPGdv3KRvFJltIzQFZAoF1CHmkKiQ4CMpKWnGEaiKauPUODcL9Nra3jbAajA

If you are curious, this results in the function

y = 60.7539 / x^0.824732 - 12.821

where x is the range between the Suspect and Officer in meters. Of course, this is only an approximation based on yearly data from just two Police Departments, but it’s what I went with. This means that you will have to be quite close to the suspect in order for the taser to be reliable, which is true to life. The taser may still work at farther distances, but its reliability will drop off considerably quickly as demonstrated in the above graph.

 

GTAV Distance Scaling - Important!

An important note, GTAV does not have the same distance scale as real life (distances in GTAV are much larger than they would feel in real life). Think about how you can easily drive over 150 km/h on a city street in GTAV, but it seems far slower than 150 km/h would actually be. The setting “Scale Factor” will multiply the distance between the player shooting the taser and the suspect to compensate for this. The default is 3, higher values will increase the taser’s effective range, lower values will decrease it. You can adjust this to what feels realistic and natural for you.

 

How to Use

This is an LSPDFR plugin. It is placed in the Plugins/LSPDFR folder. It will be available once you load LSPDFR and go on duty. This plugin originally was intended as an RPH standalone plugin, however there was a bug that seemed to occur whenever LSPDFR was loaded. I may release the standalone version of this plugin in the future if people request it.

    Are you tired of hearing "IN, UHHHHHH"? Tired of "DIS BOBCAT 4 EN ROUUUTEE!!!"? So was I. So I fixed that.

    Just installed it a few hours ago. Very nice work! This plugin is also a "must have" when realistically acting/patrolling in LSPDFR (in my opinion).

    Everything working fine, expect the GUI (idk if i accidently set it to false or else) - but i don't even need it.

    The .ini settings are very detailled too, and easy to set up or change.
    If you want to bring up some more realism into your GTA, this plugin is a must-have. Great job!

    Excruciatingly realistic. My taser malfunctioned and I was almost beat to death with a golf club so I pulled out my gun and lit her up! 😀

     

    Love this mod.

    After the recent update, I can say this is one of my favorite plugins! I recommend this to everyone. Taser Success Probability was one amazing thing but Limited Reloads and the animation  is such an amazing feature to have! Here is just a little few second clip to showcase the reload animation.
