An Idea that will change LCPD freecop as you know it

[justmeben]

Ok, I just thought of an idea for getting a normal, reasonable salary.
The problem these days, is that its very hard to get paid for catching criminals, or to even catch them.
When 3 cops online chasing a criminals, even if in the unlikely case where he gives up, only one gets money, and even more unlikely for them to share.
I would suggest to drop the jail criminal reward to about $500-$700 and leave the reward for killing to $200 but add the following:
/joinchase [id]
Basicly, as a suspect is suspected, a chase system will go on.
Each cop can choose to join the chase.
All chasers can only join before the suspect gives up, and all cops must be at the PD to jail the suspect.
Doesnt matter who writes the jail command, all cops that joined the chase and are present at the PD will recieve the reward.
(Cop will be able to join 2 chases, because two can run away together)

To prevent abusing, I would suggest this system to be active only when official LCPD or FBI or NOOSE is online, and he could /kickchaser [criminalID] [copID]
and the kicked cop wont be able to return to that chase.
Or to add system that detects distance between criminal and the cop.

P.S. If the criminal dies, all chasers gets $200, and a non-chaser wont be able to jail the respective criminal.

Let's just wait for T4, it should have car damage according to developers' statements.

Scripting this would also just waste scripting "mana"  as you know we just have few scripters, and afaik, they're human

o_O
Dafuq are you talking about, they`re not humans, they are demigods...

That is a great idea! I give my full support!!!

Just 1 problem.. as you mentioned at the bottom, it is possible to abuse, by staying at PD and just /chase [id] and wait for someone to bring the criminal (or kill the criminal) and collect the reward..

One of your solutions was to add some sort of command that would work by distance from criminal.. I think that would be annoying if criminal with Infernus will makes a distance...
but I like the idea, where /chase [id] will only work if some sort of LCPD leader will be online (FBI, NOOSE...)

Again, Great Idea!

It's complicating something that doesn't need to be complicated.

Great! Another topic to /unsupport and to spend a bit time with thinking and writing since Im so bored  :razz: Just Kidding... :roll:

[offtopic]Only problem that it can be in server is there are too few players at these days.^^[/offtopic]

/joinchase [id]

Cop job is a job that is already complicated with its commands and you re trying to add another command..

All chasers can only join before the suspect gives up, and all cops must be at the PD to jail the suspect.
Doesnt matter who writes the jail command, all cops that joined the chase and are present at the PD will recieve the reward.
(Cop will be able to join 2 chases, because two can run away together)

Would you like to share your money with a person that have no relationship with you and sitting near you all day and just follows you and do nothing?(Please think that u re in LCPD, not in FBI)

To prevent abusing, I would suggest this system to be active only when official LCPD or FBI or NOOSE is online, and he could /kickchaser [criminalID] [copID]
and the kicked cop wont be able to return to that chase.
Or to add system that detects distance between criminal and the cop.

When there is an abuser in server, can he be detected by someone all the time? Since its already something impossible to prove this type of abusing.. Can be easily abused.

[offtopic]Ahh, thought it was going to be longer, didnt take much time pfff..   [/offtopic]

[bjorngomes]

I like that idea

[Ted]

When there is an abuser in server, can he be detected by someone all the time?

Yes, it should be fairly obvious when someone is 'abusing'. Either visually or via text, i.e. logs.

Deal with the Abusers

[Batta]

Deal with the Abusers

Easy to say.

[Mihail Junkovich]

If that option could be only available for officers+ or higher, then it could be abused only by them.. and if that's the case, then the person could be punished very easily ^^

[Leroy_Kolta]

Nope. Not supporting this.... (yet?)

[Heller]

you can also add chase distance if criminal were too far away from cop like 100-250m then chase will be automatically cancel.

i hope you like my idea.

[Batta]

Would charge too much OnPlayerState, and scripting all this system wouldn't be very simple..

Anyway discussing this idea is quite useless as this will be fixed once T4 has come out, and once we got the amount of players back.

This or something similar may be considered for RS2, however, I do not know, yet.

For now, no.
