Help with the config file

cschnipke279 · October 15, 2014

Before I start, I'm not 100% sure that this is in the right topic or whatever, but anyways, some of the settings in my config don't work, the ones im specifically wondering about are the max cop cars in a pursuit and max cops in a foot pursuit, I have the max cars in a pursuit set at 3, and max cops in foot pursuit set at 5, yet when I call in a chase or respond to a chase which has already been called in (i.e. armed robbery) I still get fifteen or so cops, who seem to be trying to kill me more than they're trying to catch the suspect, I've literally been killed more by cops crushing me and running me over in their cars than i have by crims shooting me, anyways I was just wondering if there was something I'm missing or a fix to this.

I'm not completely sure, but I think those config lines control how many cops will respond to the pursuit. Random patrolling cops will still join in. Also, it applies to each person individually I believe. So if you have it set to 3 cars and there are 4 suspects in the car you are chasing, then it will actually be 12 cars (3 per suspect). This is because each suspect is considered a different pursuit.

I'm not completely sure about this since I didn't develop it, though.
