Hands Up – civilian arrest mechanics
Ever wish you could play this game more like a SWAT team? Or do you somehow feel the need to make the civilians hate you even more? Look no further!
This mod turns every civilian into an arrestable suspect. They copy most of their behaviour from the unarmed HVTs, so they will run away if you don’t hold them up.
With the way it currently works, you do not need to arrest all suspects in order to complete the mission. However, them running around and getting hit by bullets will result in an instant mission fail if you are playing abduction missions, so keep them under control! Scared civilians will eventually hide behind armed enemies if you let them go, which increases the chance of them getting shot.
Small tip: right click an arrested civvie and order them to stop if you want them to stay there.
Planned features:
– Get rid of the voicelines when a unit spots a civilian
– Make multiple rules of engagement, like instant mission fail
– Make some suspects grab weapons of fallen enemies if they have the chance (this one already works, but I have trouble randomising it)
This mod does not work with mods that create their own civilians, but if you really want me to convert your favourite modded civlians into arrestable ones, let me know!
