"Better Bots" trading hostages?

[Jostabeere]

So bots can actually trade me in for a hostage if I go into custody?
I just got cloaked and bots were not able to revive me in time. I went into custody and suddenly I got trade in.
There was nothing about it in the mods description.

[Mr.Xavier]

It's a vanilla feature.

Friendly Ai trading players is a base game thing.
As long as they defend a hostage you will get a timer (or until the wave ends) before you respawn

[Jostabeere]

Wait what? I am playing this game for almost 500 hours and never knew of this thing nor ever encountered it.

I assume it only works if I go down between assault waves or close to the end of one, right?

Nope, you can go into custody at the start of a wave and you should get a 2:30 counter iirc.

Really? When I go to custody, the game just ended fail. How do you do that? A video will be good. 😕

That feature exists since October 2015.

They'll only do it if:
1. a hostage is present (civilian or cop)
and
2. the assault is over.

yeah I remember I was also 500-600 hours into the game when I first encountered it.

You have to have hostages on the map and if the cops free them then you fail

So what now.
If I have hostages, I can go into custody at any time? And if the hostages stay and won't get rescued, I will be traded-in no matter how long it takes and the game won't end?

There is only a respawn-counter on Normal.

If the assault ends the hostage should get traded no matter what, even if the bots aren't near it.

If you have a hostage when you go into custody,
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1325261577
your teammates will defend that hostage
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1325261709
and finally trade you back (at the end of an assault).

This can be repeated if you have more hostages.

As far as I know, the AI temmates can't take hostages themselves.
Here I went down outside of the map and I got traded back outside of the map.

[[Unintelligible]]

You must have an hostage before you're taken in custody, and if it dies, well, ♥♥♥♥.

Falling damage, fire damage, explosive damage, damage from some left cops, SWAT turret, cloaker.

Fall, fire and explosive damage only a stupid guy who would do that. Damage from left cop seems make sense to me.
