Add a Shield For Cops

As you read from the title, i think it would be great if we could have a shield while playing as a cop. It is not really useful at closer fights but at longer distances, i think it is. Also it would be more realistic if we see that as a function.

Cops are already overpowered as they are. If you take the ability of a robber to defend himself on higher distances, just make him jailed automatically when a cop approaches him in 40 meters.

Criminals are already struggling in doing bank robberies. Adding these overpowered features for cops would make it a Cop and Medic only server. -1

this can be made into a separate suggestion. But jokes aside after the update the population of criminals is shrinking and everyone is becoming a cop. 10 cops chase a single criminal. -1 from my side

Not possible in SA-MP. There are shields but they don't have their own collisions. You can find a shield.dff and shield.txd in SAMP.img. But, they are only for appearance. Moreover, It's SA-MP, not GTA Online or so.

Bruh... In close range cops have tazer advantage and now you also want advantage in far range too. You're just tryna make it a Cop And Medic server as RedX said..

pretty self-explanatory of why this guy is trying to overpower himself so much, since he's not always playing as a civilian lmao

i aint talking about a shield that has infinite power, you can just think it like armoured cars or bullet proof tires.

don't consider everyone as selfish as you are.

then it is enough to say "it is bad idea" and topic will get locked / moved to rejected suggestions board. no need to judge intention of anyone.

A shield for cops would be a pretty nice thing, but it should have some limitation like: if you use the shield you can't use M4, AK47, Sniper or any weapons that need 2 hands in game + you can't have dual weapons (sawn-off, colts and etc), it could be protective for like 5-10 bullets, nothing more.

A shield is a nice thing apart from it being a cosmetic item it could have some advantages and disadvantages when equipped.

I would honestly put it for riot purposes (althought none occur). Recieving 30% less damage from everything but only available to hold throwables/melee weapons.

Shield is just an object, not taking damage from a distance can be done with simple coding with 'if-else' statement, object is just for visuals.

Does it have its own collision?

Not sure but it isn't even that important anyways.
