# Take-downs ### Introduction LVCs first plugin, "takedowns" moves previously implemented take down features to this plugin. The take downs plugin allows clients to activate a bright light in front of their vehicle at the push of a button. The use is to imitate real life take-downs, which are used for illuminating traffic stops and increasing visibility in the dark when attempting to locate persons or things. It works by using CFX native [DrawSpotlight(...)](https://runtime.fivem.net/doc/natives/?_0xD0F64B265C8C8B33). It does not, modify any extras, but can integrate with your vehicles high-beam system to either trigger on high-beams or trigger high-beams on take-down activation. ### Configuration 1. Ensure that `plugins_installed` is set to true in `/SETTINGS.lua`. 2. Open the SETTINGS.lua located in `/PLUGINS/takedowns`. Adjust settings to your liking.
