So one of the things that bother me about UltimateBackup is when you hit the panic button, officers will arrive on scene, shoot up the place, and then drive off. I would like them to stick around for immersive reasons. 

 

So, I was thinking about using the Group Backup call with all LocalPatrol units in place of the panic call in GrammarPolice so that the backup would stay after the shooting is done. Essentially, my goal is to call "shots fired" over the radio, have backup respond, and stay until they are dismissed. I've looked around in the GrammarPolice directories but haven't found anything associated with Group Backup. 

Did I miss something, or is there another way to go about achieving this?

 

Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

For me the backup that arrives when I hit the panic button sticks around.  Like you I also want them to stick around for immersive reasons.  Got into a fight with 3 people and hit the panic button.  It was nice seeing all the backup arriving and parking all over the place.  By the time they all got there I knocked all 3 of my assailants out with a nightstick.  My backup all gathered by me and followed me around as I moved around.   So they unrealistically followed me like a bunch of groupies, with a few exceptions.  If there are bodies, at least one backup will be over each body.  So each of the 3 suspects I knocked out had a backup kneeling next to them.  If there are suspects in custody, one will "guard" each suspect.  The exception seems to be if there are suspects to pursue, they will take off to pursue that suspect.   That may be what is happening in your case.  There is an active suspect and they are taking off after them.  If not, perhaps one of your other mods is conflicting with Ultimate Backup.   I am still experimenting with which mods to use together to avoid conflicts.

Unfortunatly i have the same problem and can't seem to figure it out

very late but well, what you have to do is the following: "Well, what I did was remove the ultimate backup keys since it has been the same but it does not do what is characteristic of grammar police, I only modified the keys to HotkeysModifier=RMenu | PanicKey=NumPad0" and what I did inside the UB .ini was to remove the rest of the backup and just leave it in "localpatrol" so that the other patrols from SAHP, SWAT, etc. do not come"

Edit: for more units to come, in case you only want "localpatrol" or "StatePatrol" (I did this so that motorcycles and swat don't come, only what I want) you have to add "LocalPatrol" again, I mean... // The values are any backup types from your xml files including the special units. It's comma delimited without whitespaces. You may put the same unit name multiple times Then you have to put "LocalPatrol,LocalPatrol,LocalPatrol,LocalPatrol" so that as many units as you want arrive
