Saving weapons, is not like saving money, its z0mfg hard

[Kojak]

While I completely agree with you Panda, I assume the reason we don't keep our weapons when we crash is because it is either not possible or too difficult to implement with the current system or it creates a secondary effect that is more of a problem than losing weapons.

But when it comes to things like this I know less than nothing so for the sake of clarity, can someone explain why it is that we do not keep our weapons when we crash.

Many thanks

I will research the possibility of saving Weapons for myself in Pawno. Though if Hayden is right maybe it is hard.

Equally, I suppose such a feature could be abused in some way or another.
For example: a big DM Gang gather weapons together (10+ people) and then they leave the server all in one place and one guy stays there. He calls someone else to come "talk" (or, you know, something) and then boom! You're surrounded by Bullets as the rest simultaneously login and kill you.

It could however be argued that the above situation contains blatant log evidence, and they could be punished. I think designwise, it is a good thing. Perhaps the reason is Script based.

great idea, 9mm And M4 for 500 and 5000, i dont even have 400 so, im gonna admit here (dunno why) but i did use the glitch, cause i was poor and there was a bounty on my head, so for PROTECTION i used the glitch, the hunters saw me armed and left and i survived, yeh!  :cool:

but i dont anymore, cause i was warned by hyper, but unfortunately almost 2/3 of the servers regulars use (or how u call abuse) that glitch, because it is so hard to make money!!

Due to the high frequency of crashes, if this could be made, the keeping old weapons would be good imo and will solve people losing a lot of money from buying guns and then crashing and it will also reduce the likeliness of people abusing free weapons from /duty. Also it would be good because it is very annoying when you are in a fight or chasing someone (police pursuit) and then you crash so you have to disengage and go all the way back to PD (or ammunation) to get guns and proper uniform. But if we have this, can we also fix it so if you keep exact the same skin after crash. If you crash as an Officer, FBI or other special police class, you come back as a Cadet.

9mm And M4 for 500 and 5000

Actually, the M4 is 3000 (100 bullets) and the AK47 is 2000 (200 bullets)..

So you have to choose if you want an American weapon or a Russian weapon..

Uhm guys ... im not a developer or something , but Panda is really write.I have my own script and  now im trying to make possible (Pawno) to get authorization for using guns (i mean an 2+ admin allows u to have weapons ... just like the passport and the drivers licence) Thats a very good way to stop the DM (especially of the new players who dont know its a RPG server and they DM a lot).Infact this is not so hard (i think) You have a permission , you use a weapon,you dont have a permission , u dont use a weapon(its the same with drivers licence,you have it,you own a car,you dont have it,you touch the banana  ) So if i someway manage to do that i will immediately send the scripts to Gandalf or Aragorn or someone of the Developers 

[PMP]

Thats so right.
Anyway, no admin would give me a weapon license, I'm a total idiot, and very dangerous with weapons.

Hahaha well it will be like something .. "What will you use the weapon for and some other questions .. hope i make it possible ... and even i cant i hope its a good idea for the Argonath developers,they are very good scripters and im very sure that they can make it if the want.
