[MAY 2018 UPDATE]
Hey, I got some time to try and patch up this oldie. 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. Check the weapon names here.
- Added Recruit Nearby Peds in Squad>SpecialOrders. Recruits nearby peds to that squad.
- Squads will be dismissed when restarting SHVDN scripts (Shift+Insert), so no more persistent peds being lost in the world.
Known bugs
- Squads may not follow their leader when spawned. Dismiss/Spawn them again, or check and uncheck "follow player".
Plans
- Add "Follow ped on foot" order, the squad will follow the ped... On foot.
Should be useful to have multiple squads move around with fewer orders.

Updated guys, check the description for details.
@honglong2 no they are not!
This is the best BodyGuard Mod there is out there, I'm ashamed of my self for not finding this out sooner & simply relying on SimpleTrainer!
Hope there can be xbox controller support soon!
Nah mine doesnt work. Unlucky, Idk how others got it working
Mod still works for me an instant 5 stars but maybe add more squads like "squad 5" and "squad 6" and maybe add a option to change the colors of the squads and maybe add more changeable units in the ini file like 5 or 10 slots and maybe add how many units spawn for that squad
Anyone knows why only 4 members of a squad of 8 mount on a pbus when I order them? It's supposed to be up to 11 in a pbus...
With @Eddlm permission, I'm updating this mod to work with the latest NativeUI and ScriptHookVDotNet versions.
I'm also adding a few more stuff, like 2 extra squads and a few extra commands.
Here's a screenshot preview: https://i.imgur.com/0jX5tAD.png
it works! no idea how but worked for me like a charm
@bosshunter please do it he's been inactive since 2018 Please do it
@bosshunter Yeesss please do it, I've been waiting for an update the longest. I'd like to be able to add custom Ped guards as well.
When can we expect an update?
Cant do much missions as the guards just open fire on allies and killing them failing the mission
Updated mod version: https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/bodyguard-squads-1-2-2022-update
@hayden9262go @nj5050 ^
can i add a new car?
@H4DES Yes you can, within the ini file under custom Vehicle.
@bosshunter thx!!
it has come to my attention that Q activates the mod. Don't bellieve me? try it yourself
i absolutley love thismod
Mod is great!
does anyone know how I can update / upgrade this mod? I wish to work on this myself and add the ability to make custom bodyguards with the ability to heal / resuscitate injured guards. I also want to make it similar to TLAD gang member upgrade system
@Eddlm Hey Eddlm, do I have permission to update this mod? I wish to make fighter Planes enabled and stuff.
