QBCore | Advanced Pedestrian Interaction for Police

AlexCarton · January 16, 2026, 11:26am

Description

ac-pedinteraction is a police–pedestrian interaction system designed for immersive patrol roleplay on QBCore servers.

The script allows police officers to interact with ambient pedestrians anywhere in the world using qb-target or ox_target.
Each NPC is handled server-side and receives its own generated identity, inventory state, and behavior, ensuring that interactions cannot be repeated or abused.

This resource was created to make patrols feel more alive without relying on static NPCs or scripted locations.

Important notice

I want to clarify that this resource is designed for QBCore only.

Newer versions of ox_inventory no longer support QBCore and are intended for QBox or ESX. Using this resource with QBox or newer ox_inventory versions may cause errors.

Apologies for not clearly stating this earlier. This has now been added to avoid confusion.

Features

Police-only interactions with ambient pedestrians
Server-side NPC ownership using NetIDs (prevents double interaction abuse)
Generated ID cards with in-game rendered portraits
Randomized NPC inventories (legal & illegal items)
Frisk system with configurable outcomes
Arrest system with multiple scenarios
NPCs may flee when illegal items are found
Optional taser-based suspect stopping
Supports qb-target and ox_target
Supports qb-inventory and ox_inventory

Gameplay Example

Officer targets a pedestrian
Interaction menu opens
Officer checks ID or frisks NPC
If illegal items are found:

NPC may attempt to flee
Officer must stop the suspect
Arrest removes the NPC from the world

All behaviors can be configured or disabled depending on server policy.

Requirements

QBCore
qb-menu
qb-target or ox_target
qb-inventory or ox_inventory

Configuration

The resource is fully configurable:

Select target system (qb-target / ox_target)
Select inventory system (qb-inventory / ox_inventory)
Configure:
- NPC item pools
- Legal and illegal items
- Generated name pools
- NPC behavior (fleeing, arrest outcomes)

Performance

Targets are only created within interaction range
NPC data is cached per entity
All critical logic is server-authoritative

Optimized for live servers.

nice this will go great with SDC_AIPullover thanks for release …

Tayy_Dayy · January 16, 2026, 12:03pm

have you thought about making a script were the npc cops can pull you over chase you and issue warrants?

@AlexCarton
Able to talk and see ped ID but unable to arrest once they run and get tased

AlexCarton · January 19, 2026, 6:52pm

I am actually looking in to that idea right now.

AlexCarton · January 19, 2026, 6:56pm

Thanks for the report.

Could you provide a short video or a clear step-by-step reproduction? This will help me identify whether it’s a task/state issue or a network sync problem.

this looks really cool! Suggestion to cuff the ped and take them to a station for drop off instead of them disappearing

I use the setup for qbx with ox target and ox_inventory
I get this errors

^1SCRIPT ERROR: native a11700682f3ad45c: invalid lua type in __data^7

Also the list of items, its a bit strange?

because of the empty spaces, like " Water bottle", shouldnt that be “water_bottle”.

        { name = "Water Bottle", qty = 2, legal = true },
        { name = "Cigarettes", qty = 5, legal = true },

Thanks for the report.

Apologies for the confusion — this resource is built specifically for QBCore, not QBox.

Newer versions of ox_inventory no longer support QBCore, which causes these errors when used with this script.

I’ve updated the post description to clarify this.

Cade.Scott · February 12, 2026, 7:59pm

Great script. Thanks for the release

DiePabloo · March 25, 2026, 7:28am

cjmillz1993 · August 18, 2026, 11:41pm
