So Now i will try to explain to you the group system along with its advantages and disadvantages.
First of all about the Group System:I think everyone knows what a RP Group is so i wont be explaining that.
The Scripted Group system is what that may/may not improve RP in the Server depending on the players.
A group system allows a RP group to have various features which allows players to choose from a large variety things when they think about joining a group.
Group VehiclesGroup vehicle system is one of the best advantages. It allows group people to drive any car that is assigned to the group. Its just like the LCPD Cruisers. So only group members will be able to drive that groups specific vehicles.
Now, You will say that groups can always have a HQ and load vehicles from them. But there is a flaw in this system because each group member first will have to load a vehicle and they have to lock it to prevent use by other players. This way you also lock it for your group members.
In addition, its mostly like a group member buys a car and puts it up for group use. This member can anytime quit or sell his car.
The Group car system resolves this issue and makes group vehicles available for use by any member of the group anytime and also it will be auto locked to others.
Secondly, group members can donate to their groups and help buying group vehicles.
Ranking SystemGroup Ranking is somewhat like the LCPD Ranking system except the fact that it is dedicated to other groups which may have different amount of rights per rank.
This thing requires more work and may be too time consuming. Its not worth that much work.
HQGroup HQ may/may not be available in ivmp since it has to be brought as a house and one person owns it technically.
The group system may allow a specific location to be set as an HQ for a group by manager's. The group may have to submit an official application somewhere to get a hq.
Since gta 4 does not support custom interiors so there can be Group Vehicle spawn spots around the HQ from where group members may take the vehicles and also the vehicle reset there if not used for long. Its basically like LCPD Vehicle system.
Group Funds/IncomeAs the name suggests, group funds are the total net worth of a group and it may be increased if members are willing to donate to their groups. Group Funds are directly related to group items or vehicles and a group vehicle may be bought from Group Funds or a Donation.
Group fund system will encourage business groups to open up.
SalariesThis is for business groups which will hire people to work for them. The hired people must contribute to group funds and they can be assigned salaries by high ranked members of the group. The hired people can collect their pays at the group HQ itself.
The salary system is good for more employment opportunities and also will improve RP.
There are some more things that i may like adding later. But here comes the fact that this system is quite complicated and also will put load on developers. T3 cannot handle it as loading more group vehicles will make the server unstable. This is suggested for T4 because stability and more scripts can always help.
Questions are welcome and i would surely like ideas from others. Group system is something cool and i myself support it to some extent.
Everything doesn't need to be scripted but we should improve the server tho.
how it works? u cant kill ur clan members?
Clans dont need to be in the group system cause a clan is about quality of RP and doesn't need no thing to stop it from doing quality RP's/
