Braveheart's Policing Script V

The return of my (infamous?) policing script, reinvigorated for V.

As with IV, I aim to provide additional functions which I consider basic and or necessary for the purposes of policing realistically. To my mind, dealing with every incident as if it's a life or death situation is not indicative of a typical police officer's day-to-day role. I realise the limited options available sometimes leaves no-choice but to dispose of an incident in a somewhat unrealistic manner. My intention with this script is to open up more possibilities and choices for the player to utilise. Granted, some of the features listed below are already present in LSPD:FR and some of its fantastic plugins and I don't want to step on anyone's toes however, each feature is implemented in my own way to my own taste. Some of you might be wondering about the hands up/resist arrest features, I add these to enable peds to react in different ways to your attempt at restraining them keeping the interaction a bit more dynamic. I don't quite like LSPD:FR's linear and predictable everyone-surrenders-first-time approach. (Although having said that, I did once experience a ped "resisting" whilst preforming an LSPD:FR arrest, I'm not sure if it was a bug or an intentional feature. If it's the latter, I like it.)

V scripting is somewhat different to IV; some useful functions are missing and some things don't work as they did in IV. It took me some time to adjust to the differences and what have you. The Discord chat has been been an invaluable resource for quick answers to problems that arose and my thanks go out to all those who have lent me a hand thus far.

Features

• Police barrier control (no matter where the barriers spawned from you will be able to pickup, move and place them even if any script(s) crashed and you've reloaded)
• Vehicles will stop and queue behind barriers (I may include an option to delete queuing vehicles; I experimented with having vehicles turn around and drive-off but it came with a lot of issues)
• Prevention of melee scuffles (fist fights and baton use) from resulting in death
• Stop, interact and converse with peds
• Require a handcuffed person's name and date of birth
• Stop and direct traffic
• Road-side impairment / field sobriety test with multiple outcomes
• Order a person to drop their weapon
• Order a person to raise their hands
• Acquire standard police equipment loadout from police vehicles
• Call a vehicle's registered keeper and request they attend and collect their vehicle
• Ambient events 
• Everyone's favourite: resist arrest

 

I have coded most of the features listed and at this point they just need expanding to add variety and polishing.

I was going to add an MDC layer to this script, connected to a communal website with the ability to create crime reports, accident reports and follow-up of cases however, I was informed that the LCPDFR Computer+ project already has this in-hand. I was also going to add a report person/issue ticket option and have a follow-up on the outcome of the case/ticket (much like Albo's court system) however, I think Albo plans to expand his court system to include more than traffic offences.

As I said, it is fantastic that there are already a large number of other plugins by some very talented individuals which cover a lot of the features I would like to see.

Should any one have suggestions for features they'd like to see, feel free to leave a comment.

I plan to create a realistic and immersive calls plugin once this project is out of the way.

What type of sobriety testing are we referring to - breathalyser, or "get out of the car, walk the shoulder line heel-to-toe"? If it's the former, Albo's got a breathalyser already that you'd be able to hook into the API of.

Awesome. I cannot wait to see the finished project.

Fuck yeah bud. Glad to see you're on board with GTA V. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Not a breath test, the physical coordination test. The get out, walk around, count and tell me your sister's hamster's name backwards kind. Most often used in the UK for suspected drug driving, but it can be used for suspected drunks, too. Although usually only traffic officers are trained to administer the road-side test. It's quite ridiculous though, it doesn't prove a damn thing other than the person is awful at walking in a straight line or reciting the alphabet backwards under pressure, which most likely 9/10 people would be, too. It doesn't really mean the person is under the influence of some substance other than natural adrenaline. In any case, blood/urine/hair is going to get tested anyway.

But yes, long story short: not a breath test.

This sounds fantastic. I had to make sure I wasn't viewing the GTAIV mod forum for a second. Glad to see this great plugin coming to V. 

sounds siccck thank you for your effort

Welcome back Braveheart. I'd also like to see you complete that radar script you were in the process of developing last year.

Yay it's coming! Had a blast patrolling with you guys in IV, Braveheart, and I know what awesomeness that script could do, so I am certainly looking forward to this.

still in dev?

Any updates on progress?
