How to Stop & Interact with civilians Civilians in the game world can be stopped and interacted with by pressing and holding E (by default on keyboard). This will fill up a progress bar on the bottom right of the screen and will cause the suspects who are to be stopped to be 'blipped'. Once the progress bar fills, the suspects will stop and face towards the player. Stopping two civilians in LSPDFR. The flashing red blips are visible as the progress bar on the right fills. Interaction Once a person has been stopped, the following interaction options are available: Interact (a sub-menu with the ability to ask for ID, issue tickets, etc.) - Similar to Traffic Stops Detain the suspect. Frisk the suspect. An example of frisking a suspect.

Dispatches A Dispatch is a call which can be offered to the player while On Duty. A notification will appear in the bottom left of the screen detailing the call, and in some cases, the minimap will also be enlarged to display the approximate location of the call. An example of a Dispatch in LSPDFR 0.4. To accept a Dispatch, press Y while the prompt is still on screen. You will then be given further instructions. Callout Plugins One of the main strengths of LSPDFR is the ability to add additional Dispatches/Callouts to the mod using the API. There's a massive variety of these available, including everything from bank robberies to mundane disputes. You can browse a list of these plugins available here: https://www.lcpdfr.com/downloads/gta5mods/scripts/?sortby=file_updated&advanced_search_submitted=1&downloads_field_20=LSPDFR callout(s)&sortby=file_updated&sortdirection=desc&page=1

Pursuits Pursuits are one of the main components of LSPDFR. They can be triggered in a number of ways, including: Being initiated by the player (e.g. if a vehicle fails to stop for a traffic stop) Being initiated by an NPC officer Or, as part of a Dispatch The start of a 'hot pursuit' in LSPDFR 0.4. Shown is the flashing red and blue minimap and the Pursuit Initiated notification. How it works During a pursuit, fleeing suspects are indicated by solid red blips. If no officers have visual of a suspect, this blip will begin to flash. If visual is lost for a certain period of time, the blip will disappear altogether and be replaced by a solid black cross (x), marking the last reported position of the suspect. This cross will then remain on the map until visual is reacquired or the pursuit is called off (which happens automatically if visual is not reacquired within a certain amount of time). During this time, NPC officers will search for the suspect and the flashing red and blue minimap will be disabled, with view cones appearing for each officer instead. Pursuit Menu A number of pursuit specific options are available to the player through the Pursuit Menu, opened by pressing N (by default on keyoard). Among the options available are changing which Agency is responsible for the pursuit and enabling and disabling the use of pursuit tactics and lethal force. The Pursuit Menu in LSPDFR 0.4.

How to conduct a Traffic Stop You can conduct Traffic Stops in LSPDFR while On Duty and in a police vehicle by pulling up behind the target vehicle (the one that you wish to pull over) and pressing Shift (by default on keyboard) or A (by default on a controller). If the target vehicle is eligible to be pulled over, doing so will 'blip' it. A 'blipped' vehicle will continue as normal (they don't know that you want to pull them over yet), but can be signaled to pull over by activating your sirens while behind it. Once you have signaled the vehicle to pull over, the driver will attempt to find a safe place to stop. There is, of course, also a chance that they could fail to stop at which point a pursuit could be initiated (read more: Requesting Assistance). Note that you may also overtake the target vehicle and have them follow you to a desired position, and can also sound your horn which will activate the megaphone. Once the vehicle has come to a stop, the Traffic Stop will begin. An example of the player tailing a 'blipped' vehicle. While on the stop While on a Traffic Stop, you can interact with each occupant of the vehicle by walking up to their position in the vehicle and following the on-screen prompts. Doing so while present you with a number of options, such as: Asking to see their ID, Asking them to leave the vehicle, Issuing tickets and warnings. If you ask a suspect to leave their vehicle, you will be able to access more interaction options similar to those available during Stop & Frisk. Unique to Traffic Stops, though, you have the option to ask a suspect to follow you (or stop following you), as well as the ability to dismiss them (either back into their vehicle, or to leave on foot.) The player interacting with the driver of the vehicle.

This guide explains the purpose of the Backup.xml file, and how to make changes to it. The Backup.XML file is used to assign, for each 'backup type', a particular Agency to Regions and/or Zones. The old structure from LSPDFR 0.3 is still used in 0.4, with the following backup types available: LocalPatrol StatePatrol LocalSWAT NooseSWAT LocalAir NooseAir Ambulance For a better understanding of how this system works, consider the following: <LocalPatrol> <LosSantosCity> <Agency>lspd</Agency> </LosSantosCity> <LosSantosCounty> <Agency>lssd</Agency> </LosSantosCounty> <BlaineCounty> <Agency>lssd</Agency> </BlaineCounty> <NorthYankton> <Agency>nysp</Agency> </NorthYankton> </LocalPatrol> In this example, a number of Regions are defined for the Local Patrol type, with an Agency defined for each Region.

Props are additional accessories that peds can wear. They are similar to Components. There are 5 ped prop slots in Grand Theft Auto V, numbered 0, 1, 2, 6 and 7 which can be used. A prop is similar to a Component in that it consists of a drawable and a texture, with a drawable being the actual model and a texture being the texture applied to the drawable. A drawable can have multiple textures, and a component can have multiple drawables although only one can be active at any time. Note that props aren't always used in every ped model. Some ped models will have accessories like watches and jewelry as Components instead. To more easily understand how this system works, consider the following XML: <Prop id="0" drawable="1" texture="0" /> In this case, 0 is the number of the prop slot, 1 is the number of the active drawable in that slot and 0 is the number of the texture to be applied to the drawable. Of course, the visual appearance of the above code will be different for each ped model, but the underlying result is the same - the second drawable in slot 0, with the first texture for that drawable. To give some context to this, consider a ped model with two different types of hat that can be worn. The first is a beanie hat available in white and black, and the second is a motorcycle helmet available in orange and white. In this case, the motorcycle helmet in orange would be used. Attributes Attribute Name Type Required Description id Number Yes The component number (0 thru 11) drawable Number Yes The number of the drawable. texture Number Yes The number of the texture. List of Props Component Name Description (note that usage varies for different ped models) 0 head Hats, helmets, headwear. 1 eyes Glasses and eyewear. 2 ears Earrings, misc. head accessories. 6 lwrist Props for the left wrist/forearm 7 rwrist Props for the right wrist/forearm Example <Props> <Prop id="1" drawable="0" texture="0" /> </Props>

SpawnPoint is used to specify Vehicles and Peds that can spawn ambiently at a Station. Attributes Attribute Name Type Required Description heading Number Yes The heading (angle in degrees) for the spawn. This is the angle that the Ped or Vehicle should face (e.g. facing West has a heading of 270). position Position Yes The position in 3D coordinates (x, y, z) for the spawn. type Text No Whether this spawn should be for a Vehicle or a Ped. This should only be used if you want a randomly selected Ped or Vehicle to spawn, and have not specifically defined one as shown below. chance Number No The percentage chance (0 to 100) that this spawn will be selected. Example <AmbientSpawns> <SpawnPoint chance="50" position="360.97, -1584.70, 29.29" heading="90"> <Ped inventory="default">s_f_y_sheriff_01</Ped> <!-- A female sheriff that spawns at the Davis Station --> </SpawnPoint> </AmbientSpawns> An example of making a Ped spawn outside a Station.

A ped model is made up of a number of Components, each representing a different body part or accessory. There are 12 ped component slots in Grand Theft Auto V, numbered 0 thru 11 which can be used. A component consists of a drawable and a texture, with a drawable being the actual model and a texture being the texture applied to the drawable. A drawable can have multiple textures, and a component can have multiple drawables although only one can be active at any time. To more easily understand how this system works, consider the following XML: <Component id="4" drawable="1" texture="0" /> In this case, 4 is the number of the component slot, 1 is the number of the active drawable in that slot and 0 is the number of the texture to be applied to the drawable. Of course, the visual appearance of the above code will be different for each ped model, but the underlying result is the same - the second drawable in slot 4, with the first texture for that drawable. To give some context to this, consider a ped model with two different types of pants that can be worn. The first is a pair of leggings available in blue, black and red, and the second is a pair of running shorts available in pink and red. In this case, the running shorts in pink would be used. Attributes Attribute Name Type Required Description id Number Yes The component number (0 thru 11) drawable Number Yes The number of the drawable. texture Number Yes The number of the texture. List of Components Component Name Description (note that usage varies for different ped models) 0 head Head models. 1 berd Beards and masks. 2 hair Hair models. 3 uppr Upper body models. 4 lowr Lower body models. 5 hand Hands and arms. 6 feet Shoes and feet. 7 teef Accessories. 8 accs Miscellaneous clothing parts and accessories. 9 task Gear and equipment. 10 decl Overlays like text and emblems. 11 jbib Miscellaneous accessories and alternative upper body models.

A Variation is a subset of an Outfit, defining the Components and Props which a Ped should wear. Variations are the building blocks of the Outfit system. Like outfits, each variation can be assigned a Name and ScriptName, but variations also introduce a Base attribute which allows for one variation to inherit all the Components of another, which is particularly useful in many situations, especially when creating variations that change accessories but use the same underlying clothes. Unlike an Outfit, a variation is assigned a particular Gender. This means that if an Outfit contains two variations - one for each gender - the Outfit will be able to be worn by both females and males. When selecting an Outfit in the Locker menu, there is an additional menu option which allows the player to choose between all of the variations of the chosen Outfit. Elements Element Name Type Required Description Base Variation No If set, the Variation specified will be used as a 'base' for this variation. This means that it will inherit all of the Components of the base variation. Name Text Yes The name of the outfit variation, e.g. "Officer" ScriptName Text No This is a unique identifier for this outfit variation, which is used to cross-reference it in code and other data, such as when using the Base element (see above). It is not necessary to specify a ScriptName for a Variation, but you will be unable to specifically reference it if you do not. Gender Text Yes Either 'male' or 'female' - if both a male and female variation are specified for the same outfit, that outfit will be available to both genders. Components - Yes A container for one or more Component elements. Props - No A container for one or more Prop elements. Example <Variations> <Variation> <Name>Officer</Name> <ScriptName>m_base</ScriptName> <Gender>male</Gender> <Components> <Component id="1" drawable="0" texture="0" /> <Component id="3" drawable="0" texture="0" /> <Component id="4" drawable="35" texture="0" /> <Component id="5" drawable="0" texture="0" /> <Component id="6" drawable="25" texture="0" /> <Component id="7" drawable="0" texture="0" /> <Component id="8" drawable="58" texture="0" /> <Component id="9" drawable="0" texture="0" /> <Component id="10" drawable="0" texture="0" /> <Component id="11" drawable="55" texture="0" /> </Components> </Variation> </Variations>
