"Ryan Ross... Halcyon is here for you"

Thanks for the feedback!

I had issues with Ryan's AI where if he was on the "law" team, he wouldn't run to the panic room, and if i set him to gangster, he shoots and engages his guards. The only way I could make him run to the panic room and not shoot his team, is if i set him to "neutral" though unfortunately that makes him ignore you in stealth.

You can throw Ryan off the building, though because i'm not using custom voice-lines (i'm not a voice actor and I made this heist myself) i'm quite limited by bain's voice lines.

Team AI was disabled on purpose for a couple reasons. the main reason: Entry Point doesn't have team AI. the other reason: I couldn't be bothered figuring out how to make the team AI crouch down in stealth like in Diamond Heist.

Lastly, the assaults ' scripted which is why they are quite tough and unforgiving, especially solo. Making them scripted would be somewhat simple, although I don't know how well that would work

The guards are taken from Diamond Heist / Framing Frame day 3. The SWAT are regular Payday 2 SWAT, since it would take a lot of modding and headaches to get PD:TH enemies.

1. i think "law" team can be forced to go to specific locations, as long interrupt_distance is 0 and forced is ticked on, plus if you set it to "run" it will almost always go to scripted destination, and since interupt_distance is 0 he will never abort from it's SO regardless if it spots threats (there is also interrupt_damage but that's always 0 by default, so you don't need to mess with that)

2. yeah, i think it might be possible to show on-screen colored text with no voices, it's basically like ElementDebug with subtitle ticked on, but it doesn't run on editor, if i can find the code i'll give it to ya

3. yeah, team AI is tricky to setup but necessary when fighting against vanilla AI/assault unless you do a scripted assault and also hook PlayerDamage:damage_bullet and re-calculate the damages dealt by enemies ;-;
   plus editing it would mean having to open up BLE or the .mission files have to be not saved as binary

4. There PDTH Enemies on MWS anyway and while i like maps with their own custom faction, i don't mind america faction since it allows for customization

@_default btw i found a script that can be used for silent dialogues, should be hooked to lib/setups/gamesetup

call it within a ExecuteCode script like so
return function()
managers.npc_dialog_manager:_show_subtitle("[Rose] Was that...Did you just...ARE YOU SERIOUS", Color(255, 0, 0))
end

NPCDialogManager = NPCDialogManager or class()
NPCDialogManager.FONT_SIZE = 18
NPCDialogManager.MAX_ROWS = 60

function NPCDialogManager:init()
	self._workspace = managers.gui_data:create_saferect_workspace()
	self._fading_dialog = self._workspace:panel():gui(Idstring("core/guis/core_fading_debug_output"))

	self._subtitle_text = nil

	self._fading_dialog:set_leftbottom(0, self._workspace:height() / 3)
	self._fading_dialog:script().configure({
		font_size = self.FONT_SIZE,
		max_rows = self.MAX_ROWS
	})

	managers.viewport:add_resolution_changed_func(callback(self, self, "_update_res_d"))
	
	log("Created a new instance of NPCDialogManager")
end

function NPCDialogManager:_update_res_d()
	managers.gui_data:layout_corner_saferect_workspace(self._workspace)
end

function NPCDialogManager:_show_subtitle(text, color)
	self._subtitle_text = self._subtitle_text or self._workspace:panel():text({
		font_size = 20,
		wrap = true,
		word_wrap = true,
		align = "center",
		font = "core/fonts/system_font",
		halign = "center",
		valign = "center",
		text = text,
		color = color or Color.white
	})

	self._subtitle_text:set_w(self._workspace:panel():w() / 2)
	self._subtitle_text:set_text(text)

	local subtitle_time = math.max(4, utf8.len(text) * 0.04)
	local _, _, w, h = self._subtitle_text:text_rect()

	self._subtitle_text:set_h(h)
	self._subtitle_text:set_center_x(self._workspace:panel():w() / 2)
	self._subtitle_text:set_top(self._workspace:panel():h() / 1.4)
	self._subtitle_text:set_color(color or Color.white)
	self._subtitle_text:set_alpha(1)
	self._subtitle_text:stop()
	self._subtitle_text:animate(function (o)
		_G.wait(subtitle_time)
		self._subtitle_text:set_alpha(0)
	end)
end

function NPCDialogManager:get_active_subtitle()
	return self._subtitle_text
end

Hooks:PostHook(GameSetup, "init_managers", "TD_InitNPCDialogManager", function(self, managers)
	managers.npc_dialog_manager = NPCDialogManager:new()
end)

now idk how you can possibly make an extraction objective on the target while also adding the possibility to eliminate them, since after death the game removes the entity and spawns a client-side corpse, so you'd prob need to do a similar setup how goats work but for a human ragdoll and have the game spawn that over a client-side body when the npc dies
prob not worth the hassle, maybe you can make a copy of the body bag but with different tweak_data like self.person_ryan or something and check that to trigger this

also don't worry about updates, im possibly the only 1% of payday players who actually do occassionally update their maps that don't have autoupdates
