Radar & LIDAR

This module allows traffic officers to monitor speed readings, catch speeders, and issue citations.

1. Handheld LIDAR Speed Gun

  • Visual Rangefinder: Use the lidar item to pull out a speedgun. Aiming down the scope measures the distance and speed of target vehicles in real-time.
  • Own Model: The job streams its own LIDAR gun (kpj_lidar), so no extra prop is needed. Its screen on the back mirrors the readout live: scanning, speed, distance, direction and plate, and it turns red when a speed is locked.
  • Audible Warnings: Emits a pitch-altering sound when a vehicle exceeds the configured speed limit.

2. In-Car Dashboard Radar

  • Dual-Antenna Radar: Automatically scans oncoming and front-facing traffic lanes from inside your police cruiser.
  • Peak Speed Lock: Locks and highlights the fastest vehicle speed reading until cleared.

How to Use In-Game

Operating the Handheld LIDAR:

  1. Equip the lidar speed gun item from your inventory.
  2. Hold Right-Click to aim through the scope.
  3. Target any oncoming or fleeing vehicle. The HUD on the gun screen will show:
    • Current Target Speed (in MPH/KMH).
    • Target Distance.
  4. Issue Citation: If a vehicle is speeding, press E to flag the plate, then use the MDT or /fine to issue a citation ticket.

Operating In-Car Radar:

  • Toggle Radar: Use the /radar command (default keybind I) while seated in a police cruiser to toggle the radar dashboard.
  • Radar & HUD Layout: Use the /policehudlayout or /radarlayout command to toggle HUD layout editing, allowing you to drag and reposition the radar or other police HUD panels on your screen.
  • Set Fast-Lock Limit: Use the /setradarlimit <speed> command (e.g., /setradarlimit 80) to change the speed threshold for fast-lock warnings.
