I've mainly added futureproofing. Remember, this is a very old script, with awful scripting practices in it because of that. Its almost impossible to update, and I don't have time to rewrite it from scratch. Not now. So at most what you get is these dirty patches, and only if the planets align, a rewrite. Sorry to dissapoint! Life's not as easy today as it was yesterday. Changelog 1. 1 - Tried to fix and simplify some code. - Added vehiclemodel and weaponmodel options to advanced_bodyguards.ini so you guys can add as many weapons and vehicles as needed.

Make them cooperate, kill eachother or go after you! Command them in combat, setting their priority targets! Tweak their behavior to your likings! Do races with them! Enter their vehicle as passenger let them drive for you! Boats and planes are not supported at the moment. OTHER, MORE COMPLEX FEATURES Racing: To set up a race, set a waypoint on your map, where the first control point should be. Then, click on the Add Waypoint option inside the new Race Commands submenu. You will see there is now a white blip on the map. Repeat for the following race waypoints, being the last one the finish line. It should lo
