Drug system like in SAMP?

[Trobby888]

The current drug system is very wierld as far as I can see. All the drugs come from the one place, and not only that, they cost money. If they cost money, people wouldn't drug deal with other players then. Why? Because if people wanted to sell drugs to earn money, they'd do it at a higher price than what how much they paid to buy them. However, in that case, the drug centre will always have the cheapest drugs. Also, in games, where quality of things don't exist (Weed in the game is always at the same quality in the game), where will people buy drugs? At the cheapest place, of course. In this case, it's always the drug centre. I don't think this new drug system will work out well, hence it needs to be changed.

The SAMP collecting drug system works perfectly fine. Since not everyone has played SAMP, or have not fiddled with the SAMP drug scripts, I'll give an explanation of the SAMP drug system.

Each different type of drug always has a different place where you need to go to in order to start getting the drugs. For instance, to get weed, you must be at the weedfield just north of the big quarry near LV, or the field just outside LS at flint county. When you get there, you use a command, in this case /growweed (It can be !growweed in VCMP). Then there will be a message saying the weed is growing and wait. After around 1 or 2 minutes, a message says "Weed has grown, now go and pick it", then a red marker appears. After going to the red marker, you get the drugs.

This system is in SAMP, and is proven to work perfectly fine as it cannot be abused once scripted properly. The drug system in VCMP should work exactly like this, only there's more types of drugs in the game, hence more places to start finding drugs.

yea I was thinking on that 2 and I agree

heroin should be on the mta sailor spawn boat.

and magic mushrooms. like in mta its /msg mushroom (in leaf links) it should be good script for picking magic mushrooms in VC:MP

Also if you die you lose all your Drugs which is kinda Crap TBH though it would happen in Real life but shouldn't on VC:MP.

[Goodblue]

It should be on VC:MP its more RP

there should be a script to put the drugs in ur place then.

I agree with trobby, but disagree with goodblue.
Drugs right now are wrong indeed.
But having a /msg mushroom to pick mushrooms is wrong. Cause it would lead to players sitting in leaf links using that command endless times.

Drugs like in SAMP its a good idea.
But also, when we die, we lose all stuff we have. I don't like that. Cause there aren't rooms to rent so it's impossible to stash stuff without owning an house. And ghetto houses aren't for sale yet so there are no cheap house yet.

If we add /msg mushroom, people will just end up mashing the /msg mushroom at the leaf links. We've already seen this in MTA, where people constantly kept /msg mushroom'ing so that they could earn money. I don't think /msg mushroom is a good idea, unless if the idea is expanded widely so it involves a more complex system.

uuhm thats not what I rly mean. I mean sort of that script not that it will be abused but like the weed growing script that u will have to wait to pick again.

ooh, ok.

But instead of the sailors boat, make the heroin colecting on the other boat, it's harder to get there, so it's more cool.

I've added !growweed and !collectweed commands.
They may be buggy as they were made in a rush..

Also you may notice there is only 1 place you can collect weed from atm.
Several more places will be added soon, and also a few more weed fields.
After the places are added, other drugs can be added.

But try it out if you want, i'm open for ideas..

[Goodblue]

what weedfield can u get weed then?

[Mex]

what weedfield can u get weed then?

Theres currently a few around the drug dealer spawn

Once the weedfield script has been completed, we should delete the weed thingy from the drug menu inside the dealing house.

Btw, I had an interesting thought about the magic mushrooms.

Magic mushrooms can only be collected at the left links. However, we can RP that they are rather strange plants and they take professionals in order to collect. If you go to leaf links, you type !askprofessor to ask him to collect the magic mushrooms. However, he goes "do me a favour 1st" and asks you to do a randomized task such as bank robbing, collecting from a deal in an anonomyous place, or steal a car from a certain place. After you complete the task, the professor goes "i'll collect the mushrooms, please wait for a while", then after like 1 or 2 minutes, you head back to the pink blip and collect the mushrooms.

I like the idea but since when does a professor(for crazy as it can be) sends you on illegal errants?
Why not just tell you to go pick something from someone somewhere in the city?

[Call_me_Dad]

i would love to have such a professor in real life

I just finnished testing the weed growing script and it's perfect.
There's only one problem, you loose all your drugs when you die and although thats realistic, it sucks.
Imagine you have 10000$ in drugs, and you die.
