Bug: random encounter pursuits are missing interaction with suspect

[Lukas2438 0]

Good day,

 

I've found a bug with random encounters you can join by simply approaching them:

I am not able to interact with the suspect (like pressing E for stopping the ped, arresting etc.). This happens no matter you just joining the chase or reporting "PC 148" by holding down B and initiate the pursuit. Only way to resolve this is to kill the suspect or call backup and let them arrest the bad boy.

 

Note: As you can see in the attached RPH-log there's only one plugin (DLS) installed, but the reported bug occurs even without any other mods/plugins except LSPD:FR.

The bugged event starts at [2/5/2023 7:25:10 PM.174]

 

Kind regards

Lukas

Correct! Driving Suspects from random encounters are never marked as perpetrators that the player can interact with. To be precise it happens when a Half-sized blip marks a possible criminal in a car.
First part, where the player needs to drive close by the suspect does work. The tiny blip changes size, and become a proper blip, and a normal chase is initiated. The bugged situation is when the player manage to bring the perpetrator to a halt, and the Ped(s) that was in the car surrenders, then any interaction, with either E ao Q, is blocked. 
Calling backup will solve the situation, because the AI-cops can interact with the non-responsive Peds. They will be both arrested and transported by the AI-unit.

So when the suspect is escaping on foot after failing his car, the only way I can stop him is to make him surrender by using a stun gun and standing nearby, because I cannot hold down E for stopping him?

Yes, that is what you need to do. Stand next to the suspect, and use the call-back-up option code3/pursuit , then the suspect will be 'attacked' and arrested by the AI-police. You wont be able to interact in that process, but that is only so for the random encounters.
Btw a stungun is next to necessary for playing the game. You cant stop suspects without killing them if you do not have a stungun.
Press F4 and write giveWeapon, then browse down the list for stungun, select it and press TAB then enter.
You should now have a stungun.
I have a key for that in my plugin

Thank you very much for your answers.

 

As for the stun gun, I edited the inventory xml file to allow a stun gun and also a nightstick being added to my loadout after going on duty.
