Free Electus AI Bodyguard Hire System

Electus Bodyguards drops an AI hire system into your server so players are not stranded when the cop count is low or the gang side is thin. Buy bodyguards from a shop, pull recruits off the street as a gang, or type /backup as police to spawn AI officers into the scene.

It is a filler system for uneven playercounts. Roleplay keeps moving instead of stalling because one side has nobody online.

Three Bodyguard Categories

• Regular bodyguards
• Gang bodyguards
• Police bodyguards

Each category can be locked to a job, so police backup only spawns for police. Shooting skill, driving skill and armor are all set per type, letting a hired protector feel different from a street recruit or an AI officer.

Hiring and Contracts

Players rent a bodyguard for a chosen duration. Price scales with rental time, the bodyguard picked, and the weapon loaded on them. The contract runs until the timer ends or the player cancels it.

From the shop menu players can:

• Hire regular, gang or police bodyguards
• Manage active contracts
• Terminate a contract early
• Claim insurance when a bodyguard dies
• Put a bodyguard on leave
• Reinstate one later

Insurance has to be claimed at a shop and spawns a replacement for the dead bodyguard.

Gang Recruitment and Police Backup

Gang players recruit peds straight off the street. Cost depends on the ped and the weapon they carry. Police call AI reinforcements with /backup, so the same system feeds both sides of a shootout.

Controls and Commands

Individual bodyguards are controlled through a target system or the default G key. From there a player can tell one to stay put, follow, or go on leave.

Fleet-wide commands cover the rest:

• /bodyguard_stay
• /bodyguard_follow

Bodyguards follow their owner on foot, defend against attackers, and get into vehicles with them.

Vehicle Menu

The vehicle menu lets a player swap seats with a bodyguard and hand them the wheel. They can drive to a waypoint or just cruise, so the AI is useful outside of firefights too.

Configuration

Most of the script is exposed in config:

• Ped models
• Weapon models
• Prices and price deductions
• Speed metrics
• Maximum slots
• Currency

Players can bring their own weapons or buy them with the bodyguard. The slot count is technically uncapped, though running unlimited bodyguards is not recommended.

UI and Themes

Shops and bodyguard management share one UI, with themes swappable from the settings.
