Taking Prisoners


So is this disabled on the public now or something? Taking prisoners is really useful if people need to go afk. Is this an ACE issue or has it been disabled by an admin?

cheers

It's been disabled as it always was in @agm, now that the module has been added to @ace3. It's too open to abuse on a public server.
If people need to go afk they should put themselves in the vehicle first.

To be fair, this isn't always an option.

We also pretty much failed an objective on Ursus last night due to this as we were unable to order an AI into a chopper. 

As for abuse, yes it happens but not as often as you think. Even so all we have achieved by removing the option is a change form being handcuffed and left by a player, forcing you to respawn, to just being left by your squad which is just as debilitating on a large map. Not sure the cons outweigh the pros on this

The restriction on hand-cuffing BLUFOR units in no way prevents you from taking CIVILIANS prisoner.
All the hostages on Ursus are civilian.

I've been on the mission and checked it for myself:
- mouse scroll wheel to free prisoner works
- ACE interaction to cuff the hostage works (but is very difficult to position correctly sometimes - have to look at his hands accurately I think).

Depends what Interaction Menu you use with ACE, there is the look at a specific body part to interact with it, or there is the Interaction List where you can just choose what you want to do which is also more AGM like. :)

I think this is a really annoying thing to disable. it rarely gets abused and if it does its only for about a minute when everyone is messing about in base. apart from the one notable incident a long time ago handcuffs aren't really abused at all and their utility to drag section members with you if they need to afk and dont want to get left alone in the wilderness because you dont have vehicles.

i think you are doing the guys that play on the public a bit of a disservice here apollo :/

At least AFK player can be shot in the head and carried around.

Not sure if trolling or...

Not trolling at all. 21/07 Jungle map. 1-1 and 1-2 were about to extract. 1-1 was already  at LZ while 1-2 was on the way to it. One member of 1-2 was AFK. I shoot him in the head and carried him 300m to LZ.

See Ya Around
