🔦Take-downs

Light up the area in front of your patrol vehicle at the press of a button or by using high-beams.

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(...). 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.
