If all you could manage was speed that'd be amazing! Both would obviously be ideal but whatever you can do, I really appreciate this.

@CoronaPrime you can try speed for now i will see the strength tomorrow. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hkcyyQLK0x8OFYchQi6sY5HHKbjAdMfx/view?usp=drive_link

@GogetaSsj4 That works perfectly, exactly what I had in mind! Brilliant!
Also, zero pressure at all, but it would be great if the super strength worked for weapon melee as well (e.g. if they punch an enemy, or butt them with their gun, the enemy goes flying). But again, anything you can do is totally appreciated, just throwing out ideas!

@GogetaSsj4 one more thing, can you make an exception for player? i play as npc model sometime and it removes my weapons... in fact, could you also add an extra feature for variations of the freemode ped? i.e. npc is EUP, could add a feature so a certain component combination specified in the ini file could determine what weapon they get (army, police, armed police) - i know this can take a bit of work but would be fabulous if you could!

@Double Doppler I think this can be done. But will require lot of time to do it

@GogetaSsj4 Ok mate, I have this request from you & maybe you're up to the challenge, since I believe this mod features may make this project worthwhile.
Is it possible for you to create a mod like this, but only to equip players bodyguards (no matter the number of squads/group followers) with Parachutes when on any airplane or Cargo planes, where the guards are able to pull out there parachutes alongside game player upon skydiving jump scenarios?
I say this because there isn't such a simple mod like this out there.

Instead of a shotgun, am I able to have them equip any close-range weapon? For example, if I wanted the character to switch to a melee weapon when they get close to enemies, would that be possible with the current mod?
August 13, 2024 -
@CoronaPrime yes you can do it. It will work. I am trying to add melee class weapons and snipers too. Till then you can use Shotgun slot as melee slot

Major improvement idea
Allow multiple models to use the same loadout without copying each entry in the ini
In other words, make it loadout focussed, not NPC focussed.
So each entry in the ini is no longer ‘NPC’ but ‘Loadout’ and has a field for models it’ll give that loadout to (a list)
Using from this perspective makes it far more productive as many peds we want could be unarmed and thus this will stop copy pasting lots of entries
Users can custom name loadout names for their convenience rather than ‘NPC1’ etc
August 15, 2024 -
@Double Doppler That is actually fine idea to save user's time. You are right its quite lengthy work to add so many entries. By having a loadout which can be used by multiple NPCs sounds good. i will work on that.

I love the idea of this mod, however I'm having issues with NPCs actually firing their weapons (they don't).

@GogetaSsj4 I added a couple of NPCs to the .ini config (like Merryweather, The Lost, Cops and NOOSE). They're holding the correct guns, except they don't fire them. They just aim and move around. If I move to a "shotgun distance", they correctly swap to their shotguns. These are the .ini additions I added: https://pastebin.com/jGN1t2em . I'm on the latest version of GTA V and use ScriptHookVDotNet-nightly-117.

@Veee Thanks for letting me know about this , i will look what is causing this

What files control this in the base game though? Like how does the game determine what weapons to give npcs in vanilla GTA?
