Configuration Tips
-
Edit the .ini file to change default weapon loadouts for spawned guards
-
Set invincibility — enable god mode for bodyguards in config if they die too quickly
-
Adjust accuracy — set
ShootingAccuracy value (0-100) in config for guard aim precision
-
Change ped models — use model names like
s_m_m_security_01 for realistic security guards
-
Vehicle behavior — configure whether guards enter your car or spawn their own escort vehicles
Troubleshooting
-
Guards don't spawn — verify ScriptHookVDotNet version matches the mod requirements
-
Guards stand still — check that the AI task system is not conflicting with other ped mods
-
Game crashes with many guards — install
gameconfig.xml for mods to increase ped pool limits
-
Guards attack player — relationship group not set correctly; reinstall mod or update config
-
Guards disappear — increase ped density in config and disable despawn distance limits
