Description
Are you tired of your backup units looking like they just went through an industrial metal crusher by the end of a pursuit?
It completely ruins the immersion when a responding unit pulls up looking like a smashed golf cart. This lightweight plugin solves that problem by completely disabling structural vehicle damage for AI backup units while beautifully preserving realistic scratches and paint scrapes.
No more missing bumpers or crumpled hoods.
Keeps paint scratches and minor scrapes active for realism.
Vehicles stay completely intact once the pursuit is over.
Note: This plugin won’t stop doors from falling off.
🔥 Why This Mod is Better Than Data File Edits
If you’ve looked for fixes to this problem before, you’ve probably seen mods that require you to manually edit handling.meta or vehicle data files to set deformation values to zero. Here is why this standalone plugin is a massive upgrade:
Zero Manual File Editing: You don’t need to open OpenIV and dig through deep game directories to edit confusing XML lines. This is a pure drag-and-drop .cs script.
Native Addon Vehicle Support: If you download and install custom addon police vehicles later, you don’t have to touch their individual handling files. The script automatically and dynamically applies the damage-free logic to any backup vehicle that spawns, including modded addons.
Player Car is Safe: This plugin does NOT apply to the vehicle the player is currently sitting in. Your patrol car will still dent, smash, and deform completely normally on impact.
Coming in a Future Update: I will be implementing a vehicle flagging system. Right now, the script protects any vehicle the player isn’t actively sitting inside. The upcoming update will permanently flag your assigned personal patrol vehicle so that it always takes realistic damage, even when you are standing outside on foot.
đź”§ Installation

đź“‹ Disclaimer & Credits
This plugin was built with initial structural assistance from Claude AI, who provided the early .bat and .cs base files. Because the initial AI code failed to work properly, I manually edited, debugged, and finalized the script myself to make it fully functional and fix previous bugs like the bulletproof glass issue.
Important Loading Tip: To ensure stability, do not set this plugin to load automatically on startup. It is highly recommended to load it manually via the RagePluginHook (RPH) console once your game is running. Description is written by me and improved by Gemini.
