Cinematic Immunity

Cinematic Immunity

No more dying in cutscenes.

OVERVIEW

Cinematic Immunity automatically grants full invulnerability (gameGodModeType. Invulnerable) whenever the game enters a scripted cinematic or story sequence. The moment the scene ends, immunity is removed and normal gameplay resumes. No console commands, no manual toggling - it just works.

The mod uses a lightweight polling heartbeat (every 5 seconds) that checks quest facts and the player's controlled character record to detect scene boundaries accurately.

WHY THIS MOD EXISTS

Several story sequences leave V technically controllable but unable to meaningfully react to threats - the Act 1 → Act 2 car chases, Johnny possession moments, braindance sessions, and others. On harder difficulties or with combat-overhaul mods installed, stray enemies or world damage during these windows can kill you and force a reload. This mod prevents that.

It is meant for people who have played and survived these scenes before, and just want to go through unskippable parts to get on with the game itself.

SCENES COVERED

Each window below can be toggled independently in the Mod Settings menu.

      []Generic Scene Tiers - Any moment the game's high-level state machine is in SceneTier 3–5, or when time-skip / fast-travel is blocked by an active scene restriction. (Disabled for now because of unintended consequences. I will revisit that later).[/]
