Burglaries etc - would be great but there is a problem with chase. It would be superb if thieves jump into truck and run away, but then player would not be able to request backup etc, so it leaves only runaway on foot.

Protests - interesting, but how would that work? We get for example 10-15 people (limited memory) and then what? Player stand and watch them, or what?

Fights - quite easy

Thank you for all support :)

Thanks for the quick feedback; I'll be getting to watching some more COPS episodes and pitching some more callout ideas out there. :D

Pertaining to protests, perhaps a few people impeding the flow of traffic through an intersection, or even just running around causing general chaos in a group, perhaps armed with molotov cocktails could work? xD

It would be nice to have some public disturbance calls. Perhaps you could have somebody walking around the road drunk, or have one of those crazy preachers impeding traffic in the middle of the road.

Another interesting idea would be interesting street events. LCPD:FR's events are pretty boring, a person dropping out of the air and running. Perhaps you could have peds spawn that get into fights as I would prefer this over receiving a call out. In real life, police officers are constantly looking out their car for trouble, so it would be interesting to get some actual trouble on the streets of New York.

As well, like other people said, thanks for the great contribution you've made to LCPD:FR.

This.

I believe some of this can actually be achieved by editing the game files. There has to be a ped trait somewhere that determines if they spawn drunk more often or not. Maybe? Not to go off topic, but could anyone confirm that?

I actually got the drunken idea from an unreleased mod that I had seen on YouTube. Every now and then, you would see peds walking around drunken, so I thought it would be pretty cool.

Would there be a way to force the policehelper to recognise if we have custom (additional) police cars installed to spawn them from the PDA? Or if it's not possible for it to automatically recognise them, could we just add their names in an ini file?

FCV96 That protest idea is really cool, especially molotovs :D Sadly I doubt it will work flawlessly with satisfying amount of peds. I'll write that down.

Bojan I plan to add some callouts/world events like yours.

Eklab Car model doesn't have info about its name, but I can add ability to edit car lists in PoliceHelper

suugestion callouts:

Possible Bomb Spotted. not sure if it can be done or not would be fun to jump in a bomb sqaud truck for that call

car vs ped.

2 car collison.

bank robbery.

officer down.

shoplifting.

possible jumper on broker bridge aka sucide.

reports of a dui driver.

thats all i can think of right now

random suggestions for policehelper:

abilty to change officers model maybe idk just a thought

prostute sting like have a random lady spawn near you she try to get someone to get her you would be watching from a distance like with bait car then if she gets picked up you pursue & arrest.

that backup idea suggested sounds good maybe the abilty to call for 1 backup unit when on a traffic stop you know like he has a warrent the other unit pulls behind you & they follow you to the car when he gets out they will aim at him or if he runs they will get in there car & chase not sure if it can be done or not.

would be cool to have a spike strip set up like the roadblock like have a cop car on the side of the road with a cop by the trunk & spike strips going across the street.

ok thats all i got love the mod by the way

I can confirm only suicide jumpers. I can only say that it will be quite epic :]

Bomb spotted is interesting. I don't want to add any car/ped models to PH, but it could be like this: you get the call about bomb get to the scene and secure it by ordering people to keep away. If anyone goes too close to the bomb (0-2m) it goes off. After some time bomb squad (in NOOSE Stockade) is arriving and disarms the bomb (3% chances of detonation).

What do you guys think about it?

I plan to add road accidents but those are really hart to script properly, so I will focus mostly on criminal calls.

Bank robbery is cool of course, but there is one problem. Bank robbers should run away no matter what, but I can't switch on LCPD:FR pursuit. I mean I can make them run away in car, but all LCPD:FR goodies like backup call etc would not be available.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII like it!

looking foward to the suicide jumpers,

i like your bomb idea there sounds good to me,

yea i heard about those issue with lcpd:fr pursuit would be nice if it could be switched on i have simular issue with bravehearts call out on policing script outside of his stolen car call backup never works i call them when a person is fleeing on foot & they won't pursue the suspect like they do on lcpdfr suspects

i call them when a person is fleeing on foot & they won't pursue the suspect like they do on lcpdfr suspects

Aim at the fleeing suspect and press 3. It sets their status to wanted and forces all officers to chase them. That's been in LCPDFR since 0.91.

Does it work also on people in cars?

I dont think so. I think thats where the "hitting shift until it goes red" comes into play :)

The only issue with pressing 3 is that the cops go homicidal.

More callout ideas, hopefully some of these are possible!;

Foot Pursuit in Progress

Stolen Vehicle

Robbery/Larceny in Progress

Warrant Arrests

Motor Vehicle Accident/Vehicle vs Ped

Drug Bust/Raid on Building

Shots Fired/Shooting in Progress

Undercover Stings

Suspicious Person/Loitering

Fight in Progress/Bar Fight

Escorting Ambulances/Fire Trucks/Prisoner Transport

Prison Break [Alderney State Correctional Facility]

Automobile Theft in Progress

Officer Requesting Assistance

Stabbing

Moving Violation/Damaged Vehicle

Officer(s) Down

Also, would it be possible to include some dispatcher dialogue along with these callouts?; he says just about every location, situation, and crime that you could ever encounter in the game - this file has all of his audio [it's not a soundboard, it is just the separate audio files.];

They sound amazing good ideas i hope they can be possible :-)

FCV96 great list :)

I don't want to reveal what is planned but I'll just go through that list.

Foot Pursuit in Progress - we have that already in LCPD:FR

Stolen Vehicle - higly possible

Robbery/Larceny in Progress - can someone explain me differences between burglary robbery and lancery?

Warrant Arrests - you mean that officer is going for someone to pick up and deliver to cop shop or jail?

Motor Vehicle Accident/Vehicle vs Ped - as said before it's very difficult but possible

Drug Bust/Raid on Building - hard to do with limited amount of buildings

Shots Fired/Shooting in Progress - again, we have shootouts, but I may add some smaller callouts

Undercover Stings - didn't understand that, I'm not that good in English language

Suspicious Person/Loitering - possible

Fight in Progress/Bar Fight - possible

Escorting Ambulances/Fire Trucks/Prisoner Transport - I understand prisoner transport, but ambulance assistance? for what?

Prison Break [Alderney State Correctional Facility] - that would be cool, looking for guy in orange suit without any blip on radar

Automobile Theft in Progress - possible but almost identical to stolen vehicle callout

Officer Requesting Assistance - assistance with what? :)

Stabbing - possible

Moving Violation/Damaged Vehicle - don't know that one, damaging car by script may be impossible

Officer(s) Down - well, possible, but should be connected to other scenario

Whoa, that was long, but thank you for that helpful input. If I only had 3 months to focus on scripting only. Sadly, for example, today I have done NOTHING with METT/Coroner mod. Thankfully it's getting closer to closed beta stage, which I hope will be short :)

PS: About that dispatcher dialogue. Listen closer when you call for bait car or request new police car. It is there already :) Sometimes those audio files just doesn't work (some areas for example), but in most cases it works really well so you can expect text dispatch with speech dispatch when available.

Thanks! :D And thanks for clearing up that dispatch speech; guess I've gotta turn my speakers up or get a good set of headphones.

Robbery is defined as when a thief uses force or other means, such as a firearm, to compel someone to give up their property or forcibly takes it from someone. Larceny is when no force is involved, such as a purse-snatching. Burglary is the one I am unsure of; I believe it involves breaking and entering or stealing something from private-property without force.

Warrant Arrests meaning that you are given an order to arrest someone that currently has a warrant put out on them. Your description on this could also work as well.

Undercover Stings pertain to an undercover operations in which an undercover police officer attempts to gain evidence on someone; purchasing drugs from a dealer for example. The undercover will then relay the information to the marked police units so they can make an arrest.

Escorts are often used to move the vehicles quickly through traffic or through dangerous neighborhoods. Ambulances can be escorted under a variety of circumstances, but take the video clip below as an example. NYPD were escorting an ambulance carrying a shot officer;

The prison breaks would be pretty awesome; something like a manhunt and just searching to find the criminal would be awesome.

Officer requesting assistance could pertain to many things; maybe help with a foot chase, or during a traffic stop while making arrests.

Good luck on the coroner mod; it will certainly be cool! Here's an idea for an addition to PoliceHelper though; being that we already have bait-cars, perhaps a prisoner transport driver would be an interesting scenario. Responding to where officers request the transport and then moving the criminals back to the police station or even jail depending upon the situation.

Edited October 19, 201213 yr by FCV96

Thank you for explaining these things.

That escort was impressive, but I doubt it will work fine with stupid GTA A.I. I'll have to test it.

Thanks for considering all of these things though; I can't wait 'till PoliceHelper becomes a one-stop-shop for any additions to LCPDFR needed.
