The Phone

The phone is one of the most important tools you'll need know to interact with the world of Lifemod. Below are all the apps and their features.

To open up your phone, click the right thumb stick on Oculus and Index or click the right direction on the right trackpad on HTC Vive.

## Player Info

This is the first app you'll want to use. Here you'll create and set your player name. Click that menu and type what you'd like your name to be on your physical keyboard.

### \*IMPORTANT\* - ONCE YOUR NAME IS SET, YOU CANNOT CHANGE IT

Once you're satisfied with your name, hit enter and confirm.

The long 17 digit number at the top is your Steam ID 64.

Below that is your player name.

Next is the role you currently have. If you take on a job as a Cop or EMS, that role will change depending on your rank in those jobs.

Below that is the outfit you are currently wearing. It most likely just says "Casual1" if you're just starting out.

Next is the number of players and how many are playing as what role. This is helpful to know as the number of Cops online determines what kind of crimes you're able to commit.

You'll also see an option for auto turning while driving. Check this box if you'd prefer your character changes with the direction your vehicle is facing.

This menu is also the menu where all players will be able to summon their own bicycle. Every player gets to start with their free bike. Simple click the button labeled "Bike" and one will be summoned from above you. It's a good idea to move while you press this button so that the bike doesn't fall on you and flip over. See more on Operating Vehicles.

And most importantly is the "Save + Logout" button. When you're finished with your role-play session in Lifemod, you must remember to store all your guns (we'll cover this in a later section) and to save your progress. Just simply stand still in a safe area, and click "Save + Logout" and wait for the green progress bar to finish. This process will save any cash you have on hand and anything in your inventory.

## Inventory

This is the inventory app.

You'll use this to check your personal inventory as well as the inventory of brief cases left by other players and the inventory of storage lockers.

The very top drop down bar is the inventory you're currently looking at. Often times this is just you're own, but you can change the drop down menu to whatever is available within range to see that inventory.

To drop an item you're holding, simply select the item and then click drop. A game asset will drop to the ground. This specific asset is not usable in anyway but allows other players to then pick it up using the grip button.

You can also transfer items from one inventory to another.

To do this, be sure to select the inventory at the top that you want to take from. Below that, select your own inventory. Choose whichever item you'd like to transfer and then click "Give".

\*Note\* you can only transfer 1 stack or item at a time.

## Banking

This banking app. Here is where you'll see all the money you have stored in the bank or as cash on your person.

Cash is money you are currently holding and able to spend at stores. Be careful, any cash you have will be lost if you are killed, so it's a good idea to only take money out of your bank if you are on your way to go buy something.

In order to withdraw money, you must find an ATM. Often times, these are located around stores.

Select the increment at the bottom. You can withdraw or deposit in increments of $100, $1,000, or $10,000. Select your increment and then begin clicking the arrows at the bottom until you get to the amount you'd like. From there, just click "withdraw". The process to deposit your cash is similar. Just hit the "deposit" button instead.

This is also the app you would use to transfer money between players. You are only allowed to "give" however much cash you have. You cannot give out of your Bank.

To Give, select the player ID you'd like to give money to. After you've selected how much you'd like to give, click the "give" button. Make sure that the player and you are still both in close proximity.

Taking money works the same. Should someone be shot and downed in combat due to a gang fight, you may "take" whatever cash they had on them as well.

## Shopping

This is the shopping app.

This is the app you'll use to do any of your buying from a store or vending machine.

When you're close to a register or vending machine, you can open this app to display a variety of items you can purchase. Be sure to have enough cash on your person to purchase whatever you'd like.

Select the item you'd like to purchase, and then click how many you'd like to buy at the bottom. Once you're all set, simply click "Accept".

This is also the same app you'll use to sell some items as well.

## Real Estate

    This is the Real Estate app.

This app allows you to interact with properties that are usable by players.

This can be used to buy, sell, and buy home upgrades. If you bought the house you can see all the information like the owner and price. You can even give permission to your gang or to everyone to access it.

To use this app you need to be inside a house with doors and select the house id.

## Messages

    This is the messages app where you'll receive important updates about things happening in the game.

As a police officer, this is where you'll be notified of crimes to report to.

You'll also receive messages of payment, server restart times, house break-ins (if you have the security upgrade) and other really helpful information.

A short musical chime will often play to let you know there's a message to read.

Note that you are not able to use this same app to send messages.

## Interaction

    This is the interaction app and will be one of the main ways you'll interact with many things in Lifemod.

For example, you'll need to use this app when close to a Login Station to clock in as a Police officer or EMS.

The buttons and prompts will change depending on what you're interacting with.

If you're ever at a loss for how to use something, it's a good idea to check this app first for any possibilities.

## Vehicle

This is the Vehicle app.

This app allows you to manage aspects of the vehicles you own as well as interact with some vehicles in your proximity.

Here you'll be able to lock and unlock your car, give keys to other players to use your car (for that session), and even impound your car to send it back to the garage.

You'll use this app to pull a car out from the garage while interacting with a vehicle terminal.

## Use

    This is the Use app.

Here is how you'll equip any weapons you have or use things like zip ties.

To equip a weapon, be sure to have a weapon bought and in your inventory first. Select the weapon and hit "use". A green progress bar will begin as your character enters an animation that shows to other players, letting them know you're equipping something. The gun will appear in your hand.

To unequip a weapon, hold the weapon in your left hand and select "StoreLWep". A green progress bar will begin and send you into another animation. The weapon will then disappear from your hand and show up in your inventory. This is an important step if you're planning on ending your session but also wanting to save your weapons for next time.

If you are a Police Officer, you may grab a handcuffed person using the "ForceGrab" button, which forces them to follow you.

## Gang

    This is the Gang app.

This is where you manage what gangs you are in.

You are able to create a gang by going to the Shady Dealer, paying $10,000, and choosing a name.

You are able to join a gang if you get invited by someone of a high enough rank when they are within range.

## Police

    This is the Police app.

This app only appears when you are currently a Police Officer. It is how officers control almost everything they do.

Using the police app allows you to handcuff anyone within a certain radius. Once someone is handcuffed, they cannot move, use their phone, or interact with any vehicles. However, handcuffs wear out after (INSERT TIME). Do not use a taser on someone that is handcuffed as they are able to move around.

While someone is handcuffed, any officer may pat them down or check for warrants. Patting them down drops any weapons on the ground, also sending a message to the officer who did pat them down. Checking for warrants shows the officer if the criminal has done anything illegal that they haven't served time for or paid off.

If someone is ForceGrabbed, you may use the now-highlighted ForceIn button, what it does is it forces the arrested person into a nearby unlocked car.

## EMS
