Description
When an armed ped (cops included) is shooting at you or aiming at you and you are close to them, a prompt shows up at the bottom middle of your screen: “Press E to Tackle”.
Press E and your character runs in, tackles the shooter to the ground, then kneels over them and takes their gun.
FEATURES

- Looting animation, your character walks over, kneels and takes the gun
- If you don’t have the gun, you get it. If you already own it, you get its ammo instead

- Cooldown between tackles (configurable)
- Prompt hides if you stand still for a few seconds (configurable)
- Works with any playable character

- Grand Theft Auto V, Legacy edition (story mode / single player)
- Script Hook V (by Alexander Blade): http://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/
- Script Hook V .NET v2 (by crosire). Note: this mod is made for v2, not v3

- Keyboard (E key)
NOT SUPPORTED
- GTA Online (do NOT use this mod online, you can get banned)

INSTALLATION
- Install Script Hook V: copy ScriptHookV.dll and dinput8.dll into your GTA V main folder (next to GTA5.exe).
- Install Script Hook V .NET v2: copy ScriptHookVDotNet.asi and ScriptHookVDotNet2.dll into your GTA V main folder.
- Create a folder named “scripts” in your GTA V main folder if it doesn’t exist.
- Copy TackleShooters.cs (or TackleShooters.dll) into the “scripts” folder.

CONFIGURATION (TackleShooters.ini)
[SETTINGS]
Cooldown = 10
StillTime = 3
- Cooldown: seconds before you can tackle again after a tackle
- StillTime: seconds of standing still before the prompt hides
- Edit the file, then reload scripts (Insert key) or restart the game
CONTROLS
- E: Tackle (shown when a shooter is close to you)
HOW TO USE
- Get close to an armed ped who is shooting at you or aiming at you
- When “Press E to Tackle” appears, press E
- Watch your character tackle them and take their gun
NOTES
- You can’t tackle while in a vehicle
- Melee-only peds can’t be tackled for a gun
- Single player only
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Nothing happens / no prompt: check that the script is in the “scripts” folder and that ScriptHookVDotNet2.dll is in the main folder, not just in “scripts”
- Game crashes on start: Script Hook V is probably outdated for your game version. Download the newest version from the website above
- Mod doesn’t load: open ScriptHookVDotNet.log in your GTA V folder, it lists the exact error. Post it in the comments
- Prompt not showing: you must be close to the shooter (a few meters) and not standing still for more than StillTime seconds
KNOWN ISSUES
- Animations may look slightly different depending on the ped and terrain. Please report anything odd in the comments.
