Wanted & Arrests 0.3b



Description

Assign a wanted suspect report to any kind of NPC (ped) through Los Santos and let police units engage the targeted persons. NPCs will be randomly assigned a crime they committed. This way you can assign innocent peds, peds that annoying you or enemies as a wanted suspect to disrupt them.

Police will attack the peds you issued a wanted suspect report on and respond with a random amount of units. You can even select multiple peds at once to mark as wanted. This mod is inspired by the Watch Dogs functionality in which you can hack NPCs to issue a wanted report on them.

Despite the name 'Wanted & Arrests', an arrest funciotnality isn't included yet since it had too many bugs in it. This is a feature for a next version.

Since this is a beta version, you might encounter issues or bugs that aren't known. Please report them if you found any.


Features
  • Peds will be assigned a random crime type and a randomized amount of police units will respond and engage the peds.
  • You can select one or multiple peds at once to issue a wanted report on them.
  • Some peds will be innocent, but some are dangerous by default and might start attacking the cops with random weapons.
  • A random amount of police units will respond to a single ped.
  • After a ped has been eliminated, cops will return to default game AI behaviour (e.g. return to patrol, or taking a look at the scene).
  • Responding officers will be shown on the map with a small blue dot.
  • Includes custom dispatch sounds, edited by me.
  • Ability to configure your own keybindings for the controls. See controls below.
  • New in 0.3B:
    • Added SWAT teams response when crime type is a high crime (Terorist Activity, Assault on Officer, Armed Robber).
    • SWAT team can now attack regular cops when you mark them as wanted (and opposite). Still, regular cops attacking regular cops seems not to be possible at this moment yet (because they're the same group).

Requirements

To use this modification you need to have following requirements.


Installation

Copy all files from the ZIP into your 'scripts' folder located in the GTA 5 directory.


Controls

By default, you can press Numpad 0 to enable ped selection mode. If the selection mode is active, walk closely to a ped or peds you want to mark as wanted. When you see a marker above them, press 'B' to issue the wanted report.

You can configure your own keybindings in the INI configuration file.


Known issues
  • In some rare cases existing units wouldn't be cleaned up. Normally, if peds are eliminated and/or you'll get out of range, existing units should be cleaned up.

Compatibility

There's no known compatibility with this mod for other police related mods. There's a possibility running multiple police mods at once can override their behaviour. This isn't tested.


Future improvements
  • At least adding an arrest functionality for the AI to arrest NPCs, let them walk to the police car, or something like that.
  • Maybe more, depending on your requests.
