Better arrest animations

The paired animation is not something that is just plug and play… you need to code it to send the commands to play the animations to both ped’s at the same time or it will not look right. i am working up a example code on how this is done and will post here in a few mins. This will be a example code only… you will have to figure out how to plug it into your existing police script to get it to work for your server.

client script


ESX = nil
cuffed = false

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
    while ESX == nil do
		TriggerEvent('esx:getSharedObject', function(obj) ESX = obj end)
		Citizen.Wait(0)
	end
	while ESX.GetPlayerData().job == nil do
		Citizen.Wait(10)
	end
	ESX.PlayerData = ESX.GetPlayerData()
end)

RegisterNetEvent('esx_policejob:getarrested')
AddEventHandler('esx_policejob:getarrested', function(playerheading, playercoords, playerlocation)
	playerPed = GetPlayerPed(-1)
	SetCurrentPedWeapon(playerPed, GetHashKey('WEAPON_UNARMED'), true) -- unarm player
	local x, y, z   = table.unpack(playercoords + playerlocation * 1.0)
	SetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1), x, y, z)
	SetEntityHeading(GetPlayerPed(-1), playerheading)
	Citizen.Wait(250)
	loadanimdict('mp_arrest_paired')
	TaskPlayAnim(GetPlayerPed(-1), 'mp_arrest_paired', 'crook_p2_back_right', 8.0, -8, 3750 , 2, 0, 0, 0, 0)
	Citizen.Wait(3760)
	cuffed = true
	loadanimdict('mp_arresting')
	TaskPlayAnim(GetPlayerPed(-1), 'mp_arresting', 'idle', 8.0, -8, -1, 49, 0.0, false, false, false)
end)

RegisterNetEvent('esx_policejob:doarrested')
AddEventHandler('esx_policejob:doarrested', function()
	Citizen.Wait(250)
	loadanimdict('mp_arrest_paired')
	TaskPlayAnim(GetPlayerPed(-1), 'mp_arrest_paired', 'cop_p2_back_right', 8.0, -8,3750, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0)
	Citizen.Wait(3000)

end) 

RegisterNetEvent('esx_policejob:douncuffing')
AddEventHandler('esx_policejob:douncuffing', function()
	Citizen.Wait(250)
	loadanimdict('mp_arresting')
	TaskPlayAnim(GetPlayerPed(-1), 'mp_arresting', 'a_uncuff', 8.0, -8,-1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0)
	Citizen.Wait(5500)
	ClearPedTasks(GetPlayerPed(-1))
end)

RegisterNetEvent('esx_policejob:getuncuffed')
AddEventHandler('esx_policejob:getuncuffed', function(playerheading, playercoords, playerlocation)
	local x, y, z   = table.unpack(playercoords + playerlocation * 1.0)
	SetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1), x, y, z)
	SetEntityHeading(GetPlayerPed(-1), playerheading)
	Citizen.Wait(250)
	loadanimdict('mp_arresting')
	TaskPlayAnim(GetPlayerPed(-1), 'mp_arresting', 'b_uncuff', 8.0, -8,-1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0)
	Citizen.Wait(5500)
	cuffed = false
	ClearPedTasks(GetPlayerPed(-1))
end)


RegisterCommand('cuff', function()
	local target, distance = ESX.Game.GetClosestPlayer()
	playerheading = GetEntityHeading(GetPlayerPed(-1))
	playerlocation = GetEntityForwardVector(PlayerPedId())
	playerCoords = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1))
	local target_id = GetPlayerServerId(target)
	if distance <= 2.0 then
		TriggerServerEvent('esx_policejob:requestarrest', target_id, playerheading, playerCoords, playerlocation)
	else
		ESX.ShowNotification('Not Close Enough')
	end
end)

RegisterCommand('uncuff', function()
	local target, distance = ESX.Game.GetClosestPlayer()
	playerheading = GetEntityHeading(GetPlayerPed(-1))
	playerlocation = GetEntityForwardVector(PlayerPedId())
	playerCoords = GetEntityCoords(GetPlayerPed(-1))
	local target_id = GetPlayerServerId(target)
	TriggerServerEvent('esx_policejob:requestrelease', target_id, playerheading, playerCoords, playerlocation)
end)

function loadanimdict(dictname)
	if not HasAnimDictLoaded(dictname) then
		RequestAnimDict(dictname) 
		while not HasAnimDictLoaded(dictname) do 
			Citizen.Wait(1)
		end
	end
end

Server Script

RegisterServerEvent('esx_policejob:requestarrest')
AddEventHandler('esx_policejob:requestarrest', function(targetid, playerheading, playerCoords,  playerlocation)
    _source = source
    TriggerClientEvent('esx_policejob:getarrested', targetid, playerheading, playerCoords, playerlocation)
    TriggerClientEvent('esx_policejob:doarrested', _source)
end)

RegisterServerEvent('esx_policejob:requestrelease')
AddEventHandler('esx_policejob:requestrelease', function(targetid, playerheading, playerCoords,  playerlocation)
    _source = source
    TriggerClientEvent('esx_policejob:getuncuffed', targetid, playerheading, playerCoords, playerlocation)
    TriggerClientEvent('esx_policejob:douncuffing', _source)
end)

This should give anyone a example of how paired animations are done and allow you to use the cuffing animations in game. All this does is show the animation and cuffing animation … will not keep anyone cuffed… you will need to get that added yourself.

If i can get someone online to help me record, will post a video shortly of the animations in action.
