Jailing

Phase: Release Extends: Police arrest, Account wanted

Player loop

An on-duty officer arrests a wanted player. That player serves a timed sentence at a placed jail. When the timer ends, wanted drops by the configured amount and the player can leave.

In scope

• The jail is a placed marker and a cell volume on an existing building. No hard-coded world origin.
• Sentence length is config, scaled by wanted level. The server owns the timer.
• Release slice: the arrest moves the prisoner to the cell. It does not require putting them in a vehicle. The officer's action is at the suspect, in the world.
• Inside a locked jail, leaving the volume returns the prisoner to the cell. An open door (see jailbreak) does not.
• Timer end is logged. A reconnect during the sentence resumes the remaining time.

Out of scope

• The vehicle escort. That slice is next: officer loads the suspect into a base-game vehicle and the sentence starts on arrival. It ships in this scope if it is ready before release; otherwise it is the first follow-up after release.
• Bail menus, lawyer jobs, or a custom prison interior.
• Jailing a player who is not wanted.

Assets

EL_PoliceUtils.GetJailPosition() currently returns the literal "127 1 137" (the DebugWorld police desk). Replace that with a placed cell.

Port LNGC_JailCellComponent, LNGC_JailComponent (timer, zone confine, release), and LNGC_SendToJailAction, including Prefabs/LNGC_JailCell.et. Door is Door_PrisonCell_E_A_Left_INT_ST_B.et plus EL_LockComponent. Building can be Villa_E_2I01_Police.et or a barracks beside it.

The escort slice ports LNGC_ArrestAction, LNGC_ArrestableComponent, LNGC_EscortAction, the escort tick in LNGC_PoliceComponent, LNGC_PutInVehicleAction, and LNGC_TakeOutOfVehicleAction. Seat the nearest free non-driver seat. Wanted stays on EL_PlayerAccount. Do not port LNGC_WantedComponent or virtual-item seizure. See sources.

First slice

Replace the placeholder jail position. Arrest of a wanted player starts a config sentence at the marker. Early release is refused. Timer expiry reduces wanted and frees the player. Restart keeps the remaining time.

Depends on

• EL_PoliceUtils sentence math and the arrest RPC
• Account wanted
• Persistence for the remaining sentence

Proof

• Logic: sentence length from wanted level; expiry reduces wanted; arrest of a clean player refuses.
• World: arrest lands on the marker, not the origin.
• Persistence: restart mid-sentence resumes the timer.
• Manual: dedicated server, officer on one client, suspect on another.
