Contraband Search Mechanics
- Vehicle Search: Stand near any vehicle with your K9 out and select "Search Vehicle (K9)" from the target options. The dog will sniff the vehicle and alert you (sit & bark) if it detects drugs or weapons inside. With
MarkSpot = trueit walks to where the items are, the glovebox or the trunk, and alerts there. - Searches are checked on the server, so results can't be faked from the client.
- Player Search: Select "Order Search" from the K9 player interaction menu. The dog will walk up to the player, sniff them, and sit down if contraband is found on their person.
