🚨 Features

Smarter Pursuit Logic

• []Dynamic Flanking – Officers are assigned roles (Chaser or Interceptor). Interceptors attempt to predict your route and cut you off from the sides or ahead.

  []Path Unstucking – AI recalculates paths if stuck, helping them navigate tricky terrain or corners better.

  []Arrest Logic Tweaks – Fine-tuned radius and progress speed for arrests makes evading a close-range officer nearly impossible.

  🧠 Enhanced Awareness

  • []Vision Cone Upgrade – Widened field of view and range allows officers to detect you faster and from further distances.

    []Optional Faster Detection – Officers require less time to lock on if you’re in view.

    🏃 Speed-Based Boosting

    • []Initial Chase Boost – Upon detection, cops get a burst of speed to catch up quickly.

      []Distance-Based Scaling – Officers dynamically run faster the further away you get, with optional cap control to prevent imbalance.

      📡 Radioing Nearby Units

      • []Backup System – Officers who first spot you will radio others in the area to join the chase after a short delay.

        []Staggered Joining – Prevents lag spikes by queueing officers one at a time into the pursuit instead of all at once.

        🛠️ Full Configuration Support

        All features can be toggled or tuned via an auto-generated JSON config:
