Now the network code is being rewritten. Wait for updates, and let me know if problems persist.

Background NPCs won't react to the actions of Gangsters or Pilferers in any way.
The error is unrelated to any other addons.

Is the arrest mode turned off or on?
Zariko Marcer 3 Apr, 2021 @ 5:18pm 
It's turned on, all the time.

NPCs should react to to other NPCs regardless of arrest mode.

Try turning off arrest mode and let me know if the behavior changes or not. It's just that I'm working on a new update right now, and I don't feel like messing around with files too much, since gmod loves to break compatibility. If this is not critical for you, you can wait for the next update.

It breaks the immersion for me, and I end up having to solve these conflicts myself and vaporize the bodies.

oh and they get stuck in place when they get up from sitting
i have no idea why it happens

After turning off arrest mode, I've found that NPCs will react to murders performed by Pilferers.

Is the arrest regime working correctly now?
Zariko Marcer 4 Apr, 2021 @ 6:29pm 
Still no direct reactions to attacks from those who are attacked.

I've noticed a drop in framerates that I havent seen before while using this addon. Is there any way that overall performance can be improved with this addon. I have a decent PC and I haven't had framerate issues until now.

The system turns out to be quite complex. I am trying to optimize it as much as possible. I want to note that you are giving little information.
- How many addons
- Which map do you play
- How the system behaves with disabled other add-ons
- How the system behaves with the included add-ons
- How often there are lags, only at the start, sometimes, always
- What spawn settings are set in the options
- What optimization settings are set in the options
