I'm trying to figure out to arrest a standing ped after they've been stopped. I've just come back to the mod after a year or so and I can't remember how I used to do it. I have Stop the Ped installed, and can arrest them through the menu, but I'd like to do it with just the press of the button. I could have sworn I held down the same button I used to stop them, which is E by default. Although I changed my key to slash, next to right shift, because my disability forces me to use an odd keyboard layout. Could that be the reason? Or am I just misremembering entirely and you can only force them down at gunpoint? The other one I can't get to work is the hotkey for making a ped kneel or sit. This one I know for sure is a thing. It's just not working for me. I come up behind them when they're cuffed and press slash, but nothing happens. Is it because I stopped them with STP method and not the OG LSPDFR button?

 

I feel like I should mention that my LSPDFR keybinds section in the pause menu is bugged out. It shows the correct keys I've set, but I can't change them from in-game. If I press enter on a key to change it, I get stuck with the box flashing, waiting for me to press an input. But no matter what I press, it's stuck like that and I'm forced to close the game. I'm assuming this is not normal. 

 

Finally, I found this steam guide that shows a bunch of shortcuts for things like calling in a helicopter with Ctrl+N, or making yourself unavailable for calls by pressing F7. There's a bunch more too. And while there are plugins mentioned, the whole beginning section seems to be shortcuts for the base mod. This guide was made in 2015. Do any of these still work? I didn't see any of them in the keys.ini file, and had no luck with them in-game.

 

I have attached my keys.ini, along with my stoptheped.ini, just in case it helps. 

 

Hi!

 

So basically StopThePed ovverrrides some LSPDFR keys function.

 

You can arrest a ped via StopThePed:

- Dobble tab "E", and then Arrest

- At gunpoint dobble tab "E", and then Arrest

 

via vanilla LSPDFR:

- stand next to the ped, and hold down "E" for ~2sec. (you see a blue bar in the lower right corner fill up), hold "E" again to arrest him (same blue bar again)

- at gunpoint hold down "E", then the Ped lays on the ground, go next to him and hold down "E" to arrest him

 

by default when arrested, StopThePed takes over the arrest. You can disable it in the StopThePed.ini.

 

Basically everything i explained, can be read in the documentation or .ini files, that comes with the plugins.

 

The steam guide is outdated and describes LCPDFR for GTA4.

 

You didnt post any attachments.

Thanks for the response. I read all the resources I could before writing my post, including the section about arrests on the wiki here. But holding the same button I used to stop them, which in my case is slash, causes them to walk away, as though I released them. I also don't have the prompt found in the top left of the second picture of this article about stopping and frisking, that says to press E to detain them, even though "KeyHandler.AlwaysDisplayKeyboardKeys" is set to "true" in my lspdfr.ini. 

 

My key for stopping peds with STP is on a different key, so they're not conflicting. That was something I thought could be an issue. And STP is working fine, and is what I use to stop peds most the time. I was just hoping for a way to arrest them with a button press instead of going through the menu. It's not a huge deal, just a convenience thing. But it looks like LSPDFR's stop command is the only one that has that feature, if I can get it to work.
