Glove System
The Glove System provides a realistic countermeasure for criminals to avoid leaving biometric evidence.
🚫 Fingerprint Prevention
If a player is wearing a recognized pair of gloves (configured via Config.GloveVariations), the system automatically suppresses fingerprint generation.
- Vehicles: No fingerprints are left when entering/exiting or opening doors.
- Weapons: No fingerprints are added to weapon metadata when equipping or firing.
- Surfaces: Dusting a surface touched by a gloved suspect will yield no results.
🔍 Visual Recognition
The system checks the player's current outfit (ped components) to verify if gloves are actually equipped. This prevents "invisible gloves" and ensures that if an officer sees a suspect without gloves, they know fingerprints can be recovered.
⚖️ Gameplay Balance
While gloves prevent fingerprints, they do not prevent:
- DNA Drops: Blood and saliva can still be left behind.
- GSR: Gunshot residue still accumulates on the hands/clothing.
- Physical Evidence: Shell casings and projectiles are still dropped.
