[SA:MP] Developers Answer: Give Examples

[CBFasi]

If its legal.... your fine.

If not like RL use other means, like word of mouth etc... /l /s /sms /call

[Anto]

its ok for you to say this.. you are never a criminal.. look at it through our eyes...

[CBFasi]

I did not set the rule up.

I am aware there is an issue that criminals seem to be unable to rp a way to pass on messages like they do in real life..
I have seen a few ingenious ads but most are so obvious they are for illegal issues..

This may require a script solution, but for the current the rule stands...

Idea... Maybe setup a cb channel for this...

[Gimli]

Yeah, for example stand in an alley and encourage people to come to you by using /me.

Personally every time I am online I get at least 1 sms or phone call with an offer to buy weed or heroin... it is kind of getting boring

[CBFasi]

Btw

Call a cop and ask them if they want weed or drugs... they have the right to arrest you on sight.... Phone records...

Some Situations :

1. A suspect decides unsuspects himself by spamming a random message in local which will kick him thanks to the anti-flood scripts. He comes back, unsuspected. Can he be resuspected automatically, because this spam local chat could've been done deliberately so he gets unsuspected and get away because he didn't /q, or must the usual procedure be followed (ie. must ask first)?

2. Is riding as suspect in passenger counts as a carcount?

Me and my friend are hanging around on street. Some guy comes and kills my friend (it has been hit). However, i kill the guy who killed my friend. Is this revenge killing and should be punished? And if it is not, how does it differ from a situation when my mate has been killed and i then kill the killer in, for example, 5 minutes (got punished for last one)?

Resus and report to admins, because that was script abuse on purpose

[Gandalf]

This is more of a question as i want to clear something up.

Are players allowed to make illegal ingame adverts? Like selling weed, hitman etc..

If you reply that it is not allowed then it is allowed to make an illegal ad but change it in a way that doesn't look like an illegal advert and less conspicuous, so instead of:

/ad Selling weed, if you want some, come to Gas station 9

it would be

/ad Selling some of that wacky stuff

Or

/ad If you need a hitman to get someone killed, call me

it would be

/ad Want me to tie up your loose ends?


I would like a developer to answer this.

/ad is for making advertising as you would do in a newspaper.

Basicly it would be ok to advertide the above things. But....... if cops react to an ad by suspecting the advertiser they are immediately accused of abusing.
In real life, if you advertise to be a hitman in the newspaper or on ebay, expect the cops at your door arresting you.

So to stop the moaning about abusing cops from people advertising illegal things, we have decided that /ad should be used only for legal things, and if someone tries to circumvent it by advertising 'grass' they also can be warned, as they would fight investigation by cops in to their 'grass'.

at point 2: i dont think so, since your not driving you dont really use it,
so i dont count it at the used cars list

and @john
revengekill is more that you get killed and after that hunt the killer down,
what you did isnt revengekill but more self-defence since you and your mate get shot
and time doesnt matter i think,
if you couldnt kill him earlier, but needed to chase him for 5 mins first, then still not revengekill i believe,
since you werent killed, but your friend is,

personally i see revengekill: as taking revenge if YOU were killed, not when anyone else got killed
(if random dead guy it can be DM then of you)

Are you developer? No. Why answer?

Question: I would like to know what u own when u buy a buisniess or a house, How u know u just own the property and how do u know how much of the area/land around u own.

Exampel: Take Verdan Bluffs for exampel with Corleone Mansion. Do they own the hole hill or do they just own the House and garden and not the land around or parkinglot?
Same with Ocean Docks. Peopel "claimes" there gang/group own the hole docks cos they own a property there, in my view only the proeprty or the door and area inside since there can be several houses/buisness in same building....

When buying a business or house, only the groung that is clearly limited comes with it.
The land around or parking lot are not part of the property, unless clearly agreed and paid for.

Situation: I'm in a cheetah and speeding in Los Santos. I notice that a cop is after me and I escape and I'm not suspected. I escape from Los Santos to Las Venturas and change my car. 10 minutes later I'm driving (70-75 km/h) around in Los Santos and I get pulled over by the same cop that I escaped from and writes me a ticket for speeding.

So, I changed my car (thus I changed my licence plate) and the cop couldn't have seen me as he was 20m behind me when I sped away. Is he allowed to pull me over and write me a ticket? When I did (( how do you know it's me )) he said that a military brand chopper that doesn't make any sound and is like 10km up in the air saw me.

You could object and ask the cop to call a superior. Expect that it might cost you less money but a lot more time if you want to RP your way out of the ticket.

1. If he is that desparate to be unsuspected, why resuspect him ? Use /report to notify admins, and if the same player uses it often he will be caught.

2. Yes.

And if it is not, how does it differ from a situation when my mate has been killed and i then kill the killer in, for example, 5 minutes (got punished for last one)?

There is a difference.
If you are in a fight with a guy, your friend is killed but you kill the attacker, it is a normal fight.
When your friend is killed and you are killing the attacker 5 minutes later, it is impossible for admins to control your reason for killing. If people kill someone because 5 minutes, an hour or a ay earlier they killed a friend it will soon go out of control and in to constant killing wars.
