Electus Heists Changelog

Biggest update yet, by far.

Plan the job like a real crew.

• Scan any building's actual collision into floor-by-floor blueprints, straight from /heists. This is generated automatically.
• Mark doors, cameras, guards and loot, and see exactly what each camera can see
• Hand players a physical blueprint item: pull it out, study it, flip between floors
• Pin floors to the planning board and crew plan and plot the route together

Also added

• Planning boards: a physical board with contracts, crew, skills & black market
• Heist plans: stage steps, Update Plan node, plan HUD and a Plan tab
• Crew plan: shared canvas for text, drawings, images, blueprints & photos
• NPC Actions (patrol, follow, aim, flee, driving…) and detection/alert settings
• Camera detection conditions
• Custom Event can call exports with arguments
• Node picker search, Hide unused handles
• New server exports & events for heists, skills, XP and heat

Changed

• Prop Carry → Attach Entity (props, objects, vehicles, NPCs)
• NPCs holster weapons until alerted and only react to participants
• Stricter contract start checks
• Redesigned minigames & help text
• Heist data caching and smaller network payloads

Fixed

• Stopping one heist affecting another heist's scenes, animations, minigames or help text
• Contract lock status, duplicate runtimes, stuck animation locks, dropped outputs
• MAJOR improvements in idle usage, runs fully at 0.00ms and lower overall client cost as well.

Upgrading

• Replace new files
• Planning boards spawn by defaul: set or empty Config.HeistBoards.locations
• Add the blueprint items from inventory_items.lua
• Database updates automatically

Added

• Added the Prop Carry node with configurable attachments, animations, gizmo editing, drop controls, and pickup support.
• Added IncreaseXP, LowerXP, GetXP, and GetLevel exports for contract and skill progression.
• Added UI theme support through electus_core.
• Added category-based debug settings.

Changed

• Moved framework, inventory, callback, interaction, and menu support to electus_core.
• Redesigned the contract screens to show requirements, heat, setup progress, and crew readiness more clearly.
• Updated crew lists to use framework character names.
• Updated XP removal to support level reductions across contract and skill progression.

Fixed

• Fixed Delete Entities nodes when map props stream in late or are hidden by multiple active nodes.
• Fixed dynamic target-action handles changing when edges were reordered.
• Fixed stale scene synchronization data and target cleanup.
• Fixed blip creation, display, sprite, color, and coordinate handling.
• Fixed the low-height search animation using incompatible flags.
• Fixed XP exports accepting invalid amounts or XP types.

Added

• Multi-stage heists with stage creation, removal, navigation, and Next Stage nodes.
• Support for moving individual or selected nodes between stages.
• Contract setup missions with dedicated graphs and persistent progress.
• Finale locking until all contract setups are complete.
• Boolean State nodes with shared or per-player values.
• Boolean State actions for setting, toggling, resetting, checking, and reacting to value changes.
• Laser thickness, horizontal and vertical movement, movement distance, and optional props.
• Improved textured laser rendering.

Improved

• Expanded graph validation and automatic Start, Next Stage, and Finish node management.
• Added setup progress and controls to the active-contract interface.
• Hardened server validation for targets, teleports, NPCs, security cameras, EMPs, and signal jammers.
• Added callback rate limiting and participant, distance, routing-bucket, ownership, and entity checks.
• Made blackmarket, contract activation, and skill-tree transactions safer with rollback and refund handling.
• Improved NPC spawning, movement synchronization, and ownership handling.
• Optimized security-camera rendering by prioritizing nearby cameras.
• Improved laser visibility state, cleanup, and runtime isolation.
• Improved heist cloning, autosaving, archiving, and global-node handling for setups and stages.

Fixed

• Contract requirements and required-level checks can no longer be bypassed.
• Finales can no longer start while contract setups remain incomplete.
• Teleport routing now verifies the player's actual vehicle and authorized interaction.
• Server-only events can no longer be triggered through client source events.
• Heist completion and Finish-node handling are now consistent across staged graphs.
• Failed purchases, activations, and unlocks no longer silently consume money, items, or points.

Since this is a bigger update, I recommend testing it before testing on live server.

• Reworked projects loading for a lighter payload
• Added Global Nodes. These can be used to easier change e.g. "Crate Loot" by changing one node for all heists. They can be edited inside the projects menu
• Added yourself as a participant of "Start Now" heists to avoid confusion.

• Reworked the synchronization system for scenes and objects to resolve potential issues with timeouts and optimization.

• Added configurable police confirmation before start
• Added configurable hide locked contracts
• Fixed various of issues with sync and such
