Just put it wherever the prisoner you want checked walks through for prisoner one. Or the package for the deliveries one.

Please retexture

Totally amazing idea. This should have been in the game...thanks for making and sharing. Much appreciated.

This mod is great.

Woah, this mod is amazing. Something like this was really missing. Thanks !

It would be EPIC if you could change the model to the metal detector model that would be truly EEPPIICC!

Just make sure people or objects pass through it.

How does this mod work? I got it, but I'm not sure where I need to place it for it to work...

This mod is really cool! Kind of wish I could rotate them, or perhaps put them on the road.

I have been waiting for this for so long, thank you.

@skomeg WorkQueue is not accessible from the checkpoint object, only from world.lua, I didn't realize I could do what you did in world.lua, Very clever.

@lodestar What do you mean? WorkQueue.Request accepts request type text and one element to handle (for search).

@skomeg Great job! Have you actually figured out a workaround to add the search request to the WorkQueue or they fixed that in a stealth update? Months ago I spent several days trying to do exactly what you did and couldn't find a way.

@Eep in my prison the deliveries keep moving and they get checked as soon as they arrive at their destination so have a guard ready there to look inside.

Shouldn't deliveries stop immediately to be searched before going beyond the checkpoint?

OK, had to disable AdBlock Plus because of Google Tag Services blocking. Not cool.

Steam Workshop Downloader does nothing when I click the "Download" link.

Thanks for the reply.

@vcthegamer22 : minor performance adjustments

@Eep : http://steamworkshopdownloader.com/view/882791542
rename as "zip" file extension (ex. "mods_checkpoint.zip")
go ingame Options->Open Save Folder
put unpacked mod into mods folder (folder path should look alike "\Introversion\Prison Architect\mods\[modname]\data\")

Please make a way for non-Steam users to download.

Nice mod. interesting concept. What was the update as i see no changelog?

@murgh: scripts in the game have their own environment. so it can't be issue of incompatibility. it's also may be a reason why i can't find way to transfer data between scripts and have to check new objects in world.lua instead of collecting on init. though it don't cause any distinguishable cpu spikes in profiler => pretty cpu friendly.

be able for item/prisoner to pass not searhed is feature.as metal detectors and dogs aint 100% reliable at detection, guards can slack/be bribed, prisoner can sneak unseen.

Interesting, Ill keep my eye on this one.

good

@murgh I did remove it, Its not working for me, have it in as second from top in the mod list. But maybe a new project for you? ;-) Spreek je nog.

@Brandjuh: it should be compatible, since there is no world.lua script running in the CombiPack mod. However I wonder if this interesting mod could be coded a bit more cpu friendly, since it's spawning an object far outside the map boundaries and then does a search in a radius of 9999 tiles every 10 seconds to find new checkpoints... A rather useless function which should be dealt with by a button instead and having current checkpoints cached. Also the search radius at each checkpoint should be a bit bigger than 1 tile, to compensate for the 1.5 seconds delay between each scan (to be able to catch walking prisoners).

can u add more info about mod?

I do not know why people here are talking about useless and so on, just do not download if you don't want it. Click away and look for other mod.

Imho this is a good mod since it adds realism, some prisons have a policy to check everything thats coming in.

The only problem I have is that its not giving a search on items, is it compatible with murghs combi pack?

I might be in the minority, but i think this mod is very useful aslong as you place it correctly, for example i have one of these outside my visitation, it works wonders as every now and again it will find contraband/weapons, and it replaces the need for a dog/metal detector and is much more reliable, i understand that it annoys prisoners, but if you place it correctly in the right places instead of everywhere you can think of. Good mod.

This makes sure every single item or prisoner gets checked that passes through one of these. It's very good for incoming deliveries which have an insane amount of contraband for some reason, I can't imagine who's packing and sending all those things. It's reduced contraband by a large amount daily and also used in conjuction with metal detectors and K9 units, place these at strategic locations.

ok, as you wish
but this mod is still there for people who wanna use it

Metal detectors and Receptions do the exact same thing. This mod is rather redundant.

Plus searches that yield nothing will annoy prisoners, raising the temperatures. Even though metal detectors have a chance to go off when there isn't any contraband, I still prefer them over this.

@mike dogs cant find tunnels inside of buildings. you have to search the toilets

@Dan_AviatorsRBLX, some of the best mods a year ago were ones that added crops, decorative items, extra roads for specific vehicles and helicopters that bug out quite a lot.
Things are only useful if you give it purpose.

a good tip is to just have a dog patrol go into cells during times prisoners arent in the cell block that way its not an official search and there is a chance the tunnels will be found, that same path could be switched out from one that goes around the outside for the rest of the day.

The item checkpoint sometimes just doesnt put a search command on the items that are passing it

honestly u have to perform shakedowns on the cell blocks every few days or so to find tunnels. so im kind of lost to the feasability and usability of this. if it requires a guard to search the prisoners then u before long will have prisoners who just dont make it anywhere. metal detectors and dog combos are the best. all of my prisoners pass thru a minimum of 2 metal detectors entering the cell block and their cells. as well as anywhere else they may go

@Dan_AviatorsRBLX
Metal detectors cant detect at 100 % rate
also they cant detect narcotics
this is a good mod to keep out of workshop and shop to make sure nothing bad gets in
Rate up to this mod :D

Umm... We already have that. The metal detectors, shakedown, random search. Not useful it's already the end of this game

"this mod presents checkpoints to search prisoners and incoming deliveries"

Can you people not read descriptions?

What does this mod do? can u tell me how it works?

What does this mod do? i want to KNOW

.

its cool and works

thank you this is a awesome mod

What does this mod do?

updated. should work fine now. one need to be aware as it generates a lot of timeconsuming search work still.

After i build 3 the workmen dont want to seem to build anymore

I've been waiting for a mod like this for so long, thank you.
