SGM's Vehicle Combat Suite

With a fairly simple configuration file you can ensure that your police force's new tools are effective but not overpowered.

FEATURES

🚓Automatic Vehicle Detection🚓

• Utilizing automatic detection methods, cop cars are now equipped with drop spikes and GPS tracker darts by default.
• This same detection method is used to disable friendly-fire in certain scenarios
• This detection method can be overwritten by a specific list of vehicles instead if desired

🛡️Rank/Job Detection🛡️

• If desired, you can easily restrict these combat systems to certain jobs and additionally to specific server ranks

🌍Language Support🌍

• The ability to switch the language of the addon. If your language isn't currently supported, contact me!

✂️Drop Spikes✂️

• Drop spikes are an effective way to stop any criminal's car
• Pull in front of them and drop the spikes, after a brief second the spikes will fully expand to take up an entire lane of the road
• If the criminal is not quick enough to react, their tires will begin to burst on impact (VCMod only)
• If the threshold of damaged tires is met (or if VCMod damage is not enabled), their car will spin out of control, giving you a chance to move in and surround their vehicle

🪢Wheel Grabber🪢

• When spikes are too dangerous to use, the wheel grabber is an excellent option
• Approach from behind their car and lower your grabber, once you make contact with one of their tires it will lock up and leave you attached
• Once attached, slowly begin to pull against their car until reaching a complete stop
• If you take too long, the grabber will automatically close and detach you from their car, but their wheel will remain locked up
• If the criminal manages to survive your grab for long enough, their wheel will be freed
• Wheel grabbers are manually added in the configuration file on a per vehicle basis, there are a few default positions for common cars included

📶GPS Tracker📶

• If you'd rather deal with your target later, GPS trackers are a great option
• Pull up behind their car, fire off the automatically attaching tracking device, and go on with your day
• The tracker will periodically update its position on the HUDs of the jobs/ranks set in the configuration file
• After a set amount of time the tracker will disappear, allowing the criminal to slip back into the shadows

Install

• Unzip the addon into your servers addons folder (garrysmod/addons)
• The config can be found in sgm-vehicle-combat-suite\lua\sgm_vcs\sh_config.lua

Requirements

• The content should be automatically added by the script, however if you still want to add it to your collection just in case it is located here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2872645091

You can contact me here through the ticket system, on Discord at SGM#0420, or on Steam at https://steamcommunity.com/id/officialsgm/ (make sure to leave a comment first if you choose Steam)

How do I use these vehicle systems?

The keybinds for everything are all in the configuration file and can be easily edited to whatever you like.

The default keys are: Spikes: Left Shift, Wheel Grabber: Left Alt, and GPS Tracker: Right Alt

How can I add Wheel Grabbers to more vehicles?

In the config file (lua/sgm_vcs/sh_config.lua) beginning at line 69 is a default list of vehicles. To add more, simply get the desired vehicle's class and add it to the same structure as the rest of them. If you need help with this don't hesitate to submit a ticket or contact me on Steam/Discord.

Are these overpowered?

I have done everything I can to provide a decent out of the box experience, but some players may find new ways to take advantage of things. Luckily every vehicle system is easily configurable, so you can tune things such as cooldowns, drawbacks, successful hit penalties, and more.
