@bosshunter The mod doesn't work for me and im not able to download .NET Framework v4.8 & Visual C++ 2015 because i already have their newer versions.

@bosshunter Is it possible to switch which bodyguard you are giving orders to? I want to order one bodyguard to drive one vehicle and another bodyguard to drive a different one (or even get in the same vehicle as a passenger), but it only lets me command one bodyguard.

So no one is really providing any solution for the bodyguards just following the targeted peds instead of attacking them? Guess i'll stick with the old one then.

Recruiting ped's returns an error.
Unhandled exception in script "AdvancedBodyguards"!
NullReferenceException w GTA.World.GetNerbyPeds(Ped ped, single radius)

Nevermind, you need to first create squad, and then recruit peds.

Hello, I just installed the new Script Hook V and did a fresh clean install of GTA V updated everything and installed the mod it works once but once when I close and re open the game it stops working here is what i get in my Script Hook V Dot Net log, can anyone help me out? its really starting to frustrate me tbh...

@bosshunter awesome mod here is there a way i can message you privately? i would like to suggest something for the mod

@bosshunter If you're still caring to look at this script, it straight up doesn't work. Or at least rarely does

did you read the description?

@N. Man

@bosshunter hey Bro, do you have the source code for this particular version?

I'd like to see if I could get the custom model Jet fighters to work as an air defense guard.

@nj5050 Hey dude. Sorry off topic but do you know how I can add custom peds for this mod?

or atleast do you know how I can edit the script for this mod as i'd like to make my own version

does anyone know how I can add different models as bodyguards ? or atleast how I can mod the script, id like to work on this mod myself

@sidh1990 Yes sure I can, however I believe the max custom Ped addon is like 2 or 3 for this bodyguard version. Nonetheless please see below for an example, where I added 2 Ped models (blackops & navyseals). The ini config file is where you go to make these changes.

;This defines the first custom model list name.
CustomStyle1Name=Navyseals

;Replace these with model names you want to see in the first custom model list.
CustomStyle1Model1=navyseal
CustomStyle1Model2=navyseal
CustomStyle1Model3=navyseal
CustomStyle1Model4=navyseal

;This defines the second custom model list name.
CustomStyle2Name=BlackOps

;Replace these with model names you want to see in the second custom modellist.
CustomStyle2Model1=s_m_y_blackops_01
CustomStyle2Model2=s_m_y_blackops_01
CustomStyle2Model3=s_m_y_blackops_01
CustomStyle2Model4=s_m_y_blackops_01

@nj5050
thank you for the reply.

but suppose I wanted to add specific peds e.g. franklin, trevor or another NPC ?
is their a list or way I can choose ?

Also do you know How I can edit the original - Bodyguard Squads 1.1 [MAY 2018] - scripts? I can program in C# I wish to edit the original
I wish to make my own version.

Thank you sooo much for the speedy replies I greatly appreciate it

@sidh1990 Ok to answer your questions, I've broken it down I'm two sections. First part will address how to add specific Ped examples like Franklin, Michael or Trevor.
First locate the header within ini file & change the name to any name toy like your Ped to appear as (Dlc name won't matter here): CustomStyle1Name=Franklin

Next locate custom model list, this is where you would add the dlc names corresponding to the Person you're inserting, so for Franklin, I believe his dlc Ped model name is something like a number; 0,1 or 2 I believe. So just populate the entries with that number for Franklin only. Do the same for any other main player Peds.
CustomStyle1Model1=0
CustomStyle1Model2=0
CustomStyle1Model3=0
CustomStyle1Model4=0

@sidh1990 Now to add & expand this list beyond 2 custom Ped models, you'll need to edit mod itself & do from there. Keep in mind, you could still had a near countless amount of custom vehicles & Helicopters. Heck I was even trying to get the jet fighters to act as Air guards for me, protecting the skies against my enemies/cops/military crafts, but never was able to get the ped to fire using fighter jets.

Lastly, as for editing the mod itself, that would be awesome, although I do wish you could continue where Author "Bosshunter" left off. Hence you would need to contact him/her & request the source codes. Otherwise contact the original Author "Eddlm" & ask him for the original source code files. Good news about him is he's probably more likely to respond then Bosshunter, who hasn't replied to anyone for months now. In any case, do let me know, maybe we could collaborate on Making this Mod Great Again:)

@nj5050

awesome reply! I'm gonna try this out now. I've found a ped model list online I hope it works !
The one thing id like to add is the ability to replenish health of bodyguards when they are injured, do you know how to do this (possibly with trainer)?

@nj5050 "Now to add & expand this list beyond 2 custom Ped models, you'll need to edit mod itself & do from there. Keep in mind, you could still had a near countless amount of custom vehicles & Helicopters. "

So I can only have 2 custom peds? I can only do so by changing the source code ?

@sidh1990 Yes, currently the script is hard coded for max of 2 custom style & model Peds. For editing this part, you'll need to set more custom model values & therefore limits (increasing number of both CustomStyle1Name & models beyond 2).

As for replenishing bodyguard peds health, I believe that value is also hard coded in the script & would need to increase there. Now its currently not possible to replenish these particular Bodyguards from this mod, however you could simply have them auto respawn after they all get terminated in combat. This is an option found in the mod Native UI menu.
