Title: How to release cops from roadblock after succesful arrest?
Post by: zokni on Dec 24, 2022, 3:10 PM
Good day everyone,

This might be a dumb question, but I can't seem to be getting around releasing the AI wingman from the roadblock after the speeder has been arrested.

When I play as the driver and a roadblock is requested against me, the cop who set it up will return to patrol duty after I've been given a ticket. So the flares go off and noone remains guarding it.

My problem is that when I play as the cop and request a roadblock from a wingman, he never goes back automatically to patrol duty after apprehending the target. The wingman still goes back to guard that roadblock I requested earlier becoming occupied forever and thus getting -1 "freely moving" patrol car in the game. How can I make the wingman leave the block with the flares off just as the AI does after catching me?

Hello Zokni,

You have to do this manually. This is where the keyboard commands "N" (for cycle next cop) and "J" (jump to cop car) become necessary.

1. Looking at your map, press keyboard "N" until you highlight the ai cop that is stuck in the 'roadblock loop'.
   Or you could just press "J" until you reach his car and skip to step 3, whatever works for you.

2. Press "J" to jump to and gain control of his car.

3. Now Press "J" again and again until you return to your cop car.

The AI cop should now return to normal patrol mode.

Hi Zalcus,

Thx for the reply. I was hoping for a more proper way I might have missed, but seems like this roadblock loop is another "feature" we have to live with.  ::)
