Give your tactical units functional protection during high risk warrants and crowd control. This script provides ballistic and riot shields that behave like physical objects in the world. Officers can carry them to push a room, drop them when they need to transition to a primary weapon, or plant them on the ground to create an instant cover line.

The system handles the technical heavy lifting by blocking specific actions like ladder climbing while the shield is equipped. You can define exactly which weapons are allowed for use alongside a shield. This prevents officers from running around with heavy rifles while protected.

### Tactical Mechanics
- Deployment: use the /shield command or trigger the script through inventory items.
- Placement: press G to set the shield on the ground as stationary cover.
- Dropping: press X to drop the shield immediately to clear your hands.
- Interactions: custom exports allow you to trigger shield actions from other scripts or menus.

### Performance and Configuration
The resource is highly optimized, sitting at 0.00ms on resmon when not in use and only 0.01ms when a shield is active. The configuration file allows you to swap shield models, adjust animations, and toggle between command and item workflows. It works across ESX, QBCore, and Qbox with minimal setup required.
