Objective: Introduce traffic stops to make the gameplay more realistic and interactive, particularly for police simulations and traffic flow management. 1. Traffic Checkpoints Players and AI can set up or drive through checkpoints where random vehicle inspections are conducted. These checkpoints could be represented by a lane closure with traffic cones, accompanied by police vehicles and officers. The player, acting as a police officer, would have the ability to perform inspections, such as asking for vehicle papers or conducting a vehicle check. 2. Interactive Inspections Players could stop vehicles and inspect various aspects, such as license plate validity, tire condition, or performing sobriety tests (similar to DUI tests). This could be supported by a user-friendly interface allowing players to choose specific inspections to perform. 3. AI Reactions AI vehicles should react to traffic stops. Some may comply and stop normally, while others might try to flee (leading to possible pursuits). Additionally, there could be random traffic offenders (e.g., expired papers, broken headlights) to make the stops more varied. 4. Realistic Consequences For violations of traffic laws, penalties could be issued, such as fines, vehicle impoundment, or immediate arrest if the driver is wanted. Players could also have the option to handle minor offenses with warnings. 5. Integration into Missions/Story Mode Traffic stops could be integrated into existing or future missions. For example, the player could be tasked with specific traffic control duties as a police officer or be caught in traffic stops that affect their mission as a civilian. 6. Multiplayer Compatibility In multiplayer mode, traffic stops could lead to exciting role-playing situations. One group of players could act as police officers, while the others could play civilians or offenders.
I think improving the police in general would be beneficial though, maybe just not to this extent. Like making them less suicidal and more realistic pit manouvres etc
The idea is that when you're in a police car and press a certain key, for example, 'T' for a traffic stop (which can be changed, of course), the vehicle in front would be stopped for inspection! The driver could either flee or pull over, depending on chance, and you wouldn't always have to perform the stop. It would be an awesome additional feature for the game, especially for those who like to keep things realistic! --- Post updated --- You're 100% right, but I actually think the idea of traffic stops is pretty good.
Ah, i see now Well, considering we actually can get out of our car now, it wouldn't be too far etched!
Yeh its definitely a brilliant idea, im just not sure whether its possible to do something like that in beam, but id love to be proven wrong!
Definitely! If the developers can manage to bring such amazing physics into a game like this, I’m sure that would be possible too!
