Real Handcuffs - Advanced Restraint System for Law Enforcement

Transform your server's law enforcement experience with this comprehensive handcuff and restraint system. Real Handcuffs goes beyond basic cuffing mechanics, offering electronic tracking, GPS monitoring, and multiple restraint options that create authentic police roleplay scenarios.

What's Included

This system provides everything law enforcement needs for realistic arrest procedures. You'll get traditional handcuffs with keys, rope restraints, head bags for prisoner transport, and cutting-edge electronic cuffs with GPS tracking capabilities. Each restraint type has its own use case and can be configured to match your server's needs.

Key Features

Electronic Handcuffs with GPS Tracking - Monitor arrested players in real-time on a dedicated tablet interface. Perfect for tracking escapees or managing multiple prisoners
Shock Capability - Electronic cuffs can deliver non-lethal shocks to restrain aggressive suspects, adding another layer of control
Surrender Requirement - Suspects must raise their hands before being cuffed, creating more immersive arrest scenarios instead of instant cuffing
Multiple Restraint Types - Standard cuffs, ropes, electronic cuffs, and head bags each serve different tactical purposes
Complete Player Control - Put suspects in vehicles, drag them, apply mouth tape, or remove restraints with the action menu (F6 default)
Input Blocking - Automatically disables inventory access and other actions when players are cuffed
Realistic Sounds & Props - Custom handcuff sounds and visible prop attachments enhance immersion

Perfect For

Police departments needing advanced arrest mechanics
Serious RP servers with detailed law enforcement systems
Prison roleplay scenarios requiring secure transport
Servers wanting to prevent instant cuffing exploits

❌ QBCore - Requires ESX framework (QBCore version not included)
❌ Standalone - Framework-dependent due to inventory and player detection

What Makes It Stand Out

Unlike basic handcuff scripts that just freeze players, this system adds genuine tactical depth. The electronic cuffs with GPS tracking let police departments monitor suspects across the map, while the surrender requirement prevents unrealistic instant-cuffing during chases. The shock feature gives officers a non-lethal response option for uncooperative suspects.

The real-time GPS tracking is optional but powerful - you can track escapees or manage multiple arrests simultaneously through the tracker tablet. Just be aware it uses more resources when enabled, so test it on your server first. The config includes a test mode to help you dial in the right settings before going live.

Configuration Example

The config file is straightforward - define your item names, set the menu key, choose which inputs to disable when cuffed, and decide whether to use real-time GPS or static markers. You can also customize the handcuff images and sounds by pointing to your own hosted files. The language system supports easy translation for international servers.

Performance Note: Real-time GPS (Config.RealtimeGPS = true) will increase CPU/RAM usage on both client and server. If you have 50+ concurrent players, consider using static GPS markers instead or increase the refresh interval beyond 1000ms.
