Welcome to the LS PDF tutorial! In this guide, we will cover all the basic controls and shortcuts available to you as an LS PDF officer. Whether you prefer driving to the police station, using console shortcuts, or automatic on-duty, we've got you covered. Get ready to hit the streets and start your patrol with confidence!
Going on Duty
Before you can start patrolling, you need to go on duty as an LS PDF officer. There are three different ways to do this, and we'll walk you through each one.
Driving to the Police Station
The first option is to drive to the police station. Simply open the main menu and locate the police stations on the map. Drive to any police station of your choice and find the main entrance. Approach it and press the "E" key to go on duty. From there, you can customize your officer and select the desired department before continuing.
Pros:
- Realistic immersion
- Ability to customize officer and department
Cons:
- Requires driving to the police station
- Limited customization options
Using the Console Shortcut
If you don't feel like driving to the police station, you can use the console shortcut. Press the "F4" key to bring up the console and type "go to PZ" followed by pressing "ENTER". This will teleport you directly to the police station.
Pros:
- Quick and convenient
- Avoids the need for driving
Cons:
- Limited to teleporting to one location
- No customization options
Automatic On-Duty
The third option is to use the automatic on-duty shortcut. While in-game, press the "9" key while jumping, and you will automatically be put on duty at your current location. However, keep in mind that with this option, you won't have any customization options for your officer and you won't have a police car.
Pros:
- Instant on-duty status
- No need for customization
Cons:
- No customization options
- No police car initially
Selecting the Police Cruiser
Once you're on duty, it's time to select your police cruiser. You will be presented with different options and customizations for your vehicle. Take your time to choose the one that suits your preferences. You can even make changes to the light bar or remove it completely for a different aesthetic.
Starting Patrol
With your police cruiser ready, it's time to hit the streets and start your patrol. This section will guide you through the process of pulling over vehicles, interacting with drivers, and requesting identification.
Pulling Over Vehicles
When you spot a vehicle that requires attention, you need to pull it over. Trigger the lights by hitting the horn, and then hit the "Shift" key to indicate to the driver that they should pull over. If you're not satisfied with how they pulled over, simply hit the horn again to request a different location.
Interacting with the Driver
Once the vehicle is pulled over, approach the driver and press the "B" key to open the interaction menu. You'll have various options available, such as greeting the driver or requesting identification.
Requesting Identification
To request identification, select the appropriate option from the menu. This will prompt the driver to present their identification to you.
Pros:
- Allows for proper identification of drivers
- Ensures compliance with regulations
Cons:
- Potential resistance from non-compliant drivers
Running a Name Check
To verify the information on the identification, you can run a name check. Open the computer in your police car by pressing the "E" key and type in the name. This will bring up the suspect's history, licenses, and any active warrants.
Issuing Citations and Warnings
Based on the driver's behavior and the information gathered, you can choose to issue a citation or a warning. Select the appropriate option from the interaction menu and proceed accordingly.
Stopping Pedestrians
In addition to pulling over vehicles, you may also need to stop pedestrians for various reasons.
Requesting Identification from Pedestrians
To request identification from a pedestrian, approach them and hold the "E" key. This will make them stop and allow you to interact with them. From there, you can request their identification.
Making an Arrest
If the situation calls for it, you may need to make an arrest. To do this, hold the "E" key while standing close to the suspect. They will be cuffed and placed under your custody. You can then proceed to transport them to jail.
Transporting Suspects
Transporting arrested suspects can be done in two ways: by calling for transport or by transporting them yourself.
Calling for Transport
If you choose to call for transport, approach the suspect and set them on the ground using the "E" key. Open the backup menu by pressing the "B" key, switch to code response, scroll down, and select the option to call the local transport unit. They will pick up the suspect and take them to jail.
Transporting Suspects Yourself
If you prefer to transport the suspect yourself, approach your police car and enter it. Open the back door and let the suspect in. Get back in your car and drive them to jail. You can choose to drop them off at any police station or at the designated arrest place on the map.
Dropping off Suspects at Jail
To drop off the suspect at jail, pull up to the gate and it will open automatically. Exit your vehicle, open the door to release the suspect, and walk them into the jail cell of your choice. You can then leave the cell and continue your patrol.
Handling Call Outs
As an LS PDF officer, you will receive call-outs from dispatch. However, if you want to force a call-out or accept a specific call-out, there are shortcuts available.
Forcing a Call Out
To force a call-out, simply press the "X" key. This will create a call-out for you to respond to.
Accepting a Call Out
When a call-out comes through, you can accept it by pressing the "Y" key. This will prompt you to respond to the call-out and proceed accordingly.
Vehicle Maintenance
While on patrol, it's important to keep your vehicle in good shape. Vehicle maintenance can be done easily using the console shortcuts.
Repairing the Vehicle
If your vehicle requires repairs, press the "F4" key to bring up the console and type "repair". This will fix any damage to your vehicle and ensure it's in optimal condition.
Washing the Vehicle
To keep your vehicle clean, type "wash" in the console and press enter. This will wash your vehicle, removing any dirt or grime that has accumulated.
Restoring Health
If your officer gets injured in the line of duty, you can restore their health using the console. Press the "F4" key, type "heal", and press enter. Your officer will be fully healed and ready to continue their patrol.
