Back-end Scripts
Summary of back-end changes
- Updated Interaction System.
This change completely changes how Society will be played by Mobile & Controller OR Console users. You read correctly, the interaction system will allow players to join on console. Not only does it change how it will be played, it’s versatile, compact, and fast. It’s allowed us to quickly add new interactions with no stress.
- Re-worked handcuffing / removing / handcuff & remove interactions
Officers no longer able to cuff when player is going > 3 mph. Officers can remove anyone from their vehicle. Civilians can remove anyone from their vehicle.
Officers can ONLY Handcuff & Remove from police cars. This means, officers can only ‘remove’ a player from said civilian car. Civilians will have more reaction time, and requires officers to be tactful when removing a player from a car (players will be able to grab guns and retaliate).
- Players in handcuffs will no longer clip into the ground and create a smooth transfer from cars to cell.
- Trunk & Shop UIs disappear after moving away x amount of studs
- Officers can spam search/transfer/handcuff

After 5+ minutes, the call will also be deleted.
