Suggestion- melee combat arresting

[OfficerJessica 353]

I've had an idea relating to using the Nightstick as a real policing tool- whenever a ped tries to fistfight with the player, using the nightstick or taser (depleting the ped's health below a certain level) would result in the ped falling to the knee-arresting animation, where the player can cuff them. It surely isn't just me who's frustrated with some AI peds randomly trying to fight you when you're questioning someone, forcing you to KO the ped, so an addition to the mod similar to this would be a great idea to mitigate this and enhance roleplay possibilities. Perhaps even a 'struggle bar' for arresting could be implemented, if it could utilize some possible suitable animations (if some suitable ones exist).

I'd like that too. Remember the arresting animation from 0.2 where the suspect was kneeling and you quickly cuff him? Maybe this could be used as some kind of aggressive unarmed arrest (unless it won't get smoother as it was back then, because unsmooth animations wouldn't really fit to 0.3's really smooth ones).

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Perhaps a little more interactivity could be involved in an aggressive arrest- maybe having to repeatedly press E to fill the arrest bar to simulate struggling with the suspect- I don't know if you've played another of Rockstar's games, The Warriors, but that game had a pretty cool handcuffing system where you twiddled the analog sticks to cuff someone. I'd love something similar to that in the mod.
