Tasing players who are actively shooting (Rush Tazing)

[TrotlDebilni]

there are RPGs, maybe saddle up the horse once in a while and ride into the server, eh?

[Celso]

I guess it is just my senile rambling, but in the old development team we used to have a very simple criterium. If the weapon is not in single player, it will not be made.
Being a wizard I would love the dev team to make spells which I can cast, like freezing opponents, balls of fire or changing all weapons in to flowers. And all of them could be made. However this is not WOW, but SA:MP based on GTA:SA, so we limit weapons to single player.
Unfortunately we have also to leave out miniguns and RPG due to hackers, not due to us not wanting them.

A tazer is pretty cool to have, but there are more cool things that simply are not present in single player.
Want to have those? Find us a multiplayer game that has them and suggest building it.

Cool so this means if taser gets removed so will RPG's and scripted bombs?

[Stivi]

I don't think there's /me in singleplayer, how about we remove that too?

If I want single-player features, I'll go play single-player.

[Marcell]

The old policy was what caused the server to be outdated by about....5 years? Thankfully it's catching up now....

Nice bit of spite there, haven't seen RPG's or scripted bombs being abused yet, tasers on the other hand...

Whilst you're going onabout removing RPG's and bombs though, think about /weaponequip, something that RPG's and such are meant to help balance for criminals.

So sort of on topic, would the tazer be considered a method of forcing RP. (or powergaming)?
It's mitigated by having to use a silenced pistol (clever stuff) but you can't RP having some sort of leg shield.

...Unless there was the potential for an armour set you can wear on body parts, maybe?

I guess what's difficult is that scripts breed more scripts to counter complaints, and the safer alternative is just to have people RP it.

Dont know if that makes sense, but just my thoughts on it.

[Mikal]

To be honest I think the taser would have been better if instead of forcing people into a few seconds of a hurt animation, it gave you a few seconds of wobbly screen, like the one you get when you're drunk, this way cops can't abuse /su on you once you're tased and literally force you into cuffs, which pretty much just removes any chance for you to RP or fight your way out.

It is, but so was the pepper spray, it shouldn't have been implemented in first place, but for some reason the CL doesn't care about forcing RP.

It is a powerful weapon and that's why it should have very strict rules, and as someone who has seen Chief Drix shoot out of a HSU (breaching SAPD rules) while his associate Lawrence shot a shooting suspect with a tazer (forbidden)

It's not that the rules aren't being enforced, the rules are being broken by the fucking people who should be enforcing them, it's insane.

I never use weapons anyway, they get in the way of RP.

Do you count /me as a weapon? Hmm... with your brains probably it is...

Not the policy, the idiots who did not understand it and still seem not to understand the policies.
And some of those idiots even think that reinventing the old things is progres...

[Devin]

Okay.

One of the main things that held the server back was the saying "RP it" - Not everything can be RPed, some things need script support, unless you want to have the most dull, boring server on SAMP.

Love RS5.2.

Fully agree. Less RP is better. oh wait....

Don't think you quite get his point.
