Everything it does
One wheel, ten decisions. This is the real thing — click around.
Pick one and see what happens.
- Grab — You pull them in front of you and march them wherever you walk.
- Follow — They trail you on foot and climb into your car on their own.
- Cuff — Zip-ties on, hands behind the back. The item leaves your inventory.
- Kneel — Down on their knees. Useful when you are holding a whole room.
- Shield — You hold them as cover. AI cops nearby shoot a lot worse.
- Load — They walk to your car, open the door and get in. No teleporting.
- Transfer — Hand them to a friend, or share them so you both give orders.
- Loot — Search them for cash. Less every time, so nobody farms one civilian.
- Release — You let them go and they bolt. Your heat comes down.
- Execute — You shoot them. Your heat spikes and every cop in the city gets paid.
How it plays
From the moment you raise a weapon to the moment you walk away.
Take anyone on the street
Aim, hold a key, and the nearest civilian is yours. Who you grabbed decides how it goes.
- Some go quiet. Some argue. Some pull a gun and the grab fails outright.
- Everyone nearby panics and scatters, so the scene draws attention on its own.
- You need cops online to try it — and more of them once other hostage situations are running.
Keep them scared, or lose them
Every hostage has a temper that moves in real time. Managing it is the actual gameplay.
- Point at their head, fire a shot, stand close — they get more compliant.
- Push too far and they faint or bolt. Let them calm down and they fight back.
- Walk away with the gun down and they will make a run for it.
They beg, and everyone hears it
Each civilian gets a personality on the spot and talks their way through it.
- Five personalities, so the same moment never plays out word for word twice.
- Lines appear above their head with real positional audio.
- Everyone holding them sees the same words at the same time.
Move them, hide behind them, share them
A hostage is only worth taking if you can do something with them.
- Hold one as cover and nearby AI cops shoot noticeably worse.
- They walk into your car and sit down — no teleporting them in.
- Hand them to a friend, or share them so your whole crew can give orders.
Change anything, no restart
Weapons, payouts, cooldowns, blacklists, dispatch, Discord. All from inside the game.
- Sliders and switches, not a wall of text boxes.
- Hit save and it applies live for everyone on the server.
- Admin-only, and every change is logged.

What one buyer said
“I bought this script and the creator has been nothing but helpful and supportive in his discord. When I made my purchase, I had a few errors pop up. Turns out, the errors were caused by my version of “qb-target”. The developer worked with me 1 on 1 to make sure that we got my copy of the script working properly. Script works 100% flawless. I went through and stress tested it heavily. Very fun and useful alternative to always having to steal a player for a hostage. A++! Would buy again!”
