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.

If you could implement repeated taserings causing issues that'd be nice. I'd recommend a baseline of 2.5% and then further taserings increase it by about double. 

https://cvpcs.asu.edu/sites/default/files/content/projects/Taser Media CPP.pdf  See here how the first two taserings on page 14 has an increase of about 200% give or take. Baseline fatal chance is 2.5 as its enough to make gameplay interesting, irl the chance is 0.25% according to a DOJ survery. 

Very interesting. Thanks for the info.

Considering that most players will likely only enable two shots in their taser, I suppose the first shot will be 2.5%, then 5% if used on the same Suspect.

That would be a good way to go about it. It wouldn't be a supreme chance but its still something to be cognizant about and rethink your tactics. 5% might not seem like a lot but with how many tasings you do it can add up fast.  

Likely how the ini should be configured is Taser modifier in decimal format so 2.0 for baseline. Then do 

     LastTazeDeathChance*SuccessionModifier = NewDeathChance. 

Which might look like 0.025*2.0=0.05. 

Granted my coding experience is Unity C# so I'm not too familiar with gta5 coding.

    With the newest version, everything works fine, except that the ammo counter UI doesn't show up at all. Occasionally the laser for STP didn't work, but it may or may not have been this mod, or some other one I installed. Attached is my RPH log file.

    Have you considered adding a taser draw animation? Seems like "Cop Holster" have removed the taser animation in the lastest version. :turned:

    Yeah it seems to be pretty inconsistent, you may have to experiment with moving around the UI coordinates in the INI file. It's not a huge concern for me since it's actually more realistic without the UI, but I am not 100% sure why it doesn't show up for everyone.

    Hey, sorry for the confusion but I figured out that it was actually another plugin when going on duty that was causing the crash and not this one. Absolutely love the mod though, something I've wanted for a long time now and it's finally here. 🙂

    i've been waiting for this kind of mod a very long time. I wrote this idea to SuperPyroManiac, but he couldn't do it, but you Yobbin did that and you're the best! Really great plugin. it would be great if the taser still came with an animation of releasing cartridges with electrodes from the taser itself. It would be very awesome. But anyway thanks for your work and keep it up!

    Oh, and addition to my comment, I would advise you to add a function for the ped to die if the taser hits a certain part of the body. As far as I know, the lethal outcome of a person from a taser can be caused by a hit in the head and in the heart. If it could be added somehow, it would be great, or as another user wrote, add a chance that a person can die from a taser

    maybe add to the config that allows you to shoot 2 shots before reloading? Similar to the X2 taser I think that would be very cool.

    One suggestion I have for this plugin is a ability to reactivate the taser if the prongs are still in the suspect and the ability to remove the prongs. Otherwise, great plugin
