Three situations where a shield changes the scene

The breach. An officer with a ballistic shield goes through the door first and the team stacks behind.

The protest. A line of riot shields gives police a way to hold a crowd without drawing weapons.

The standoff. An officer places a shield on the ground and the team has cover where there was none.

This script from Gamzky Scripts gives your police all three, and it is simple to configure.

Controls

• Item. Use the item configured for the shield.
• Command. /shield [type] equips or unequips, for example ballistic or riot.
• Drop. Press X to drop the shield.
• Place. Press G to set it on the ground.

You decide how shields are issued

Shields can be given out as inventory items or through the command, and both are configurable. If you would rather tie them to an armory or a job script, disable the default command and items and use the exports.

Balance and rules

• Weapon whitelist. A shield works only with the weapons you allow in the config.
• Action restrictions. Ladder climbing and specific controls can be blocked automatically while a shield is active.
• Custom shields. Ballistic and riot types are included, and you can add your own.
• Models and animations. Shield models, animations and behaviors can all be swapped.

Performance

0.00ms resmon when idle and 0.01ms while a shield is carried.
