Okay lets say you drive around in car and someone start shooting your car and then your car starts to smoke.
If u have a car repair kit you can fix your engine (not the whole car only the engine) and start driving again.
You first have to buy a repair kit from Phills place.
-----------------------------------------------
<COMMANDS>
If car engine is damaged and the player already has a repair kit he just sits in the car (or goes infront of the hood if its scriptible) and types /c repaircar
If the player doesnt have a repair kit and wen he goes to buy one he has to type /c buyrepairkit or /c buykit.
-----------------------------------------------
EDIT:
I dint wanted to post a new topic about this so i just added it here okay so the idea is:
If the car starts smoking (black smoke) the engine dies (and the car stops lol) and you have to call a engeneer or use a car repair kit to fix it or just push the car to the pns (lol hard) and keep kessu happy :P
-
/c buykit 1
You have bought 1 repair kit for 1000$
/c buykit 2
You already have a repair kit
/me is driving a car
/c repaircar
You must stop your car in order to repair it
/me stops the car completely
/c repaircar
You start fixing your car, stay still for 20 seconds
/me waits 20 seconds and does not move the car at all
Your car has been fixedl
/me gets his car fixed and resumes driving

I like that one
But to not wreck Pay'N'Sprays, this should be bought from either of them.

Vital points:
The time being still - Prevents abusing this
Non stackable - Keeps people visiting Pay'N'Sprays
Buyable from Pay'N'Sprays - Keeps Kessu happy

i like this! maybe a engineer skin can buy more carkits and sell them for a bit more?

/me spawns as engineer
/////////////////////////////////
someone: /c engineer
You need to have at least 1200$ to call an engineer
*** Someone gets some additional money
/c engineer
You called an engineer, stay still and wait.
/////////////////////////////////
Engineer is needed by someone in Downtown
/me heads to Downtown
/me arrived and sees someone in a wrecked car
/me goes near his car
/me greets the man and starts fixing his car
/c fixcar someone
You started fixing someone's car, stay still for 15 seconds.
/me is standing still for 15 seconds
You have recieved 1200$ for fixing someone's car
/me drives to Pole Position to pay the hookers
As with Medics and Taxi drivers, people tend to pick the easier way..
Altho it would be nice to have an engineer in team when perfoming certain operations
-
Yup but what if you cant drivw anymore of ypur car has black smoke? People willdrive more carefully and call a engineer then rather walk to the pns and buy a kit or something!
-
I see the RP applications for this, but is there an easy way to explain what it is in terms of roleplay? Not against the idea, just looking for a way to have it make sense to those in-game. I'm trying to think of an example to give myself, but this one is tricky. Anyone else have any ideas?

I think muzzie pointed it out pretty much, but if you meant when engineer is needed; drift races and such to fix loads of cars :p

The engineer part I get. The part I'm trying to find a RP example of is what the actual "object" of a Car Repair Kit is. There isn't really such a thing in real life, so I'm trying to figure out how you explain it to users in a RP'ed fashion. The engineer part is easy because for them it could be seen as car parts and tools, but to the average user who isn't roleplaying having automotive repair experience, the script is only seen as a script that repairs the car and nothing more. What I'm trying to do here is figure out a RP explaination behind it.
For example, if someone made a script that could lock your car doors, it has both a literal explanation because it's a script that locks the car doors, but it also has a RP explanation of a car door lock that a user presses to keep the doors locked. With this topic's idea, you have the literal explanation of it being a script to identify it by, but there's no RP'ed explanation for what it actually is. That RP'ed explanation is what I'm seeking an idea for. :)
-
That's a very good idea, Zeke. I really like it. But I like Muz's edit better.
-
at first i hated this, but then i gave it some thought.
and now i pretty like it! :)
Except the engineer idea.

Aight I get it, thanks for pointing that out.
Well you see, its common that men are able to fix their vehicles. Altho it takes more time to figure out whats wrong and how to fix it when you are inexperienced. Thus longer waiting time should be added - like 15 sec for engineer and 30 sec for using repair kit. Car repairing kit is a quite heavy chest of tools and certain spare parts, thus you can only carry one. I know there are always some little unreal aspects about things like this (example: food can heal gunshot wounds), but they are inevidable if you actually want to play the game.
-
@danigold you mean the engineer or the part that your car stops at black smoke or even better with black smoke the car speed is minimized to 20% or something?

That sort of explanation was actually a great example of what I was looking for. I think you pretty much made things made sense now. :)

Edited.

Wat if we move while repairing process
We will lost kit?

Would not make sense as you have not managed to deplete the kit in that time. As the main purpose of time limit is to prevent people abusing this, kit should remain.

Or just freeze during the time (if moving cannot be detected)

If you are repairing a car, and some badass ni***z storm in and start blasting, you might want to return fire not just stand there unable to do anything. In real life, you are able to stop what you are doing, and deal with more urgent stuff. I hope this stuff can be scipted based on moving detection.
-
Maybe a countdown for it andbif ou move 1 or 2 meter away the countdown freezes unil you are close enough again
-
I only support it if its gonna cost more than car repair at PnS (should cost about 1000$) and if you will be able to only have one at a time and if it wouldn't be trade-able, so some people *cough* dont get infinite car repairs...except fo' me <3

It's a nice idea overall, because the worker skin would actually have a purpose.
-
Maybe, based on Muzdaaz's points. But is it REALLY worth it? I mean we got 4 pay N sprays that are evenly spread out throughout the city that isn't greatly huge in itself. It's quite easy to get your car to a pay N spray before you blow it up; that is unless your a terrible driver.

Alarba... :lol:

Klaus has a point, but I still support the idea.
-
Klaus. Let the *geniuses* have their idea. We will earn about 5x more. That's why I support :)
buying a car repair kit will be like raping yourself in the ass, while you can just repair on place for 5x less lol

The money doesn't matter any more, the upcoming RPG 2.0 well inforce everyone to restart [new acount, 0$ etc.]
All of the things you invsted on will be for nothing.

Okay..... whatever that's supposed to mean.
Anyways car repair kit may be useful on certain RP situations where you need to stay put for some reason. Also, a nice thing to have when you manage to drive into spikes with PCJ. There are sure to be some situations you may find it useful.
The engineer part is also useful RPing tool.
It would be nice to see gang/mafia members specialise on secondary job aswell - Medic, Engineer, Business man, Prostitute or whatever role that can be useful to your gang as well as to other people you play with. It would certainly help to promote other jobs aswell (not only cop/criminal roles).
Medics for example are valuable to have as they can heal their teammate's bullet wounds. With upcoming 2.0, may prove vital part of the crew.
Engineers can repair their mate's car which will save the whole crew some time. On RP purposes, they could deal with explosives and machinery.
Business men deal with gang's properties and make sure cash goes to right place.
Hookers.. well.. no explanation needed.
These are just some examples and Im not sure if you guys even get what the hell im talking about.
But is it REALLY worth it?
These things are not the most important things that should be scripted...
Yet they may prove useful on many situations.

Someone experienced needs to own a business in 2.0, coz the system is new.
Ill own SSA for sometime, to create examples on how to handle a business in 2.0 (SSA being the most risky biz)
Ill hire a manager for it for sometime, then promote him to CEO :D
