Please see the linked video at the time stamp I've provided. In real life this device is launched from a police cruiser.

In game, I've actually seen it done in other servers, you can simply get close to a vehicle and press a key to give the vehicle directly in front of you a blip for the entire PD of a specific color. This cuts down on ridiculous pursuits and forces criminals to either ditch the vehicle and conduct a foot pursuit, or plan a better strategy than grabbing the fastest car to escape the police. It also allows police to conduct MUCH safer pursuits when things get too fast.

Seems like a pretty cool idea, would make criminals have to come up with somewhat of a more tactical way to evade the police instead of just speeding in the fastest car they could find until they lose them.

I'd love to see something like this in the server if possible, +1
 
+1 I think not all pd cars should have it. Perhaps only the fbi and some of the pd cars?

I disagree, it should be on every police vehicle. At the end of the day, this is a game, police vehicles are chosen based on the type of patrol or player handling preference, but all vehicles can get caught in a pursuit.

Perhaps, there could be a cost to reloading the tracker so it's not used in every chase, only for known criminals.

I literally want this to be used in every chase lol My whole point is it will stop people from committing crimes and just fleeing the scene in a car and getting away every time.
 
Hello,

There is already a script that exists for this but sadly it is a massive resource hog and will cause a LOT of lag. So unfortunately we won't be able to add it to the server.

I have looked into the possibility, I believe I can make a version not so intensive.

I want you to use your knowledge of code to improve the server, but the cops job doesn't need to be any easier, however if you do add it, like in real life, there would have to be a way to remove or disable it

In real life, they'd have to ditch the vehicle or stop the car, get out, go around back, rip it off, then get back in the car and go. I'd be down for giving civilians the ability to remove the device if they go to the rear of the vehicle and have a timer based button that takes 5-10 seconds to remove the device.
 
Or once a PD car launches the device they must return to PD to reload the tracker
