Bank Rob (Different Scheme)

[SpiralRock]

The New BankRob command is something that every one will like to use it. And why won't they.

But the bank robbery system is of some kind that its almost next to impossible to break the code and when the code gets break you get something between $500 - $5000.

Well, its understood that its not a 1 man job. But who goes to rob a bank with 5 -6 hotshots and get out with max $5000. It should be well $15000 - $20,000 or even higher.

Well the reason its done in $500 - $5000 system is simple--> players will abuse it while server is empty as a lottery system.
But no one can do anything about this abuse, players can abuse even cop command.
Thats why we got many number of admins and its there job stop them. Why make a script that looks unrealistic.

But I personally think that scripts can be made this way that players cant rob bank while the server is empty(or without cops) .
Think it this way.
A person types !robbank .
The script checks for the number of cops ingame.
If the number of cops is greater or equal to 3(it can be changed according to voting), then player can try /c crackcode command.
If the number of cops is less then it gives personal pm to the robber "TRY it next time when there are atleast 3 cops in the city".

Well even this system is quite unrealistic too, because why will a robber stop robbing if there are no cops. Its certainly better for him.
But this is even more unrealistic when a robber robs the great and only bank of VC and no cop came to catch hold of him.

I hope you approve this idea.

Thanx for reading it though.

I think rusty have it to choose any random Number and See if it is right

[SpiralRock]

the script selects any number randomly between $500 and $5000.

Lets wait for Rusty to see this idea.

Ok I updated the !robbank command here are what I did  -

Must be atleast 4 People on the server - Guranteed atleast 1 of them is a cop
Money from robbing bank is now from 500$ - $20,000
Time Limit increased to 2 Minutes and 30 Seconds - was previously 80 Seconds
Chance of even disabling security is around 30%
Wait time to rob the Bank again has increased to 15 Mins

[Denlow]

What if the time to rob the bank again was higher? Because everybody would stay there with waiting to do it again

That is why i increased it form 3mins to 15mins.

Perfect.
though the lower bound $500 should hae one more 0
== $ 5000  xD

Make it hard to successfully rob it. Then when your team succeeds, you have more of a right to boast about it :P

That is why you should never rob the Bank alone.
The Haul will be massive anyway so it's best having a team of 3-4 guys with ppl shooting / taking hostage anyone that enters to enable for a successful robbery.
This will more likely increase Bank Robbery RP's and give cops something exciting to do.

Its already hard to rob. 100 possible codes to break into the system and open the safe and timer of 15 minutes + cops behind + TIMEOUTS of vcmp

[Davron]

that is why should not rob a bank

btw i have a Idea F or Safe Crackers For robbing Banks.So that everyone won't have one,They will cost 100K and when you get one it will 15 secs to crack the safe.

uh! ...
can someone translate ?
bankrob gives u max 20k and that cash u got to share, ofcourse u cant rob bank alone.
then why should safe crackers cost u 100k?

i think the present new bank rob scheme is perfect now.
thnx

Another thought I had was once you type !robbank and you get the "Caught by Security" message is that it would relay a message to any cops within a 100 Metre Radius of the robbers position so that it would be like an alarm sounded and cops closeby can hear it.  100 Metres id quite far and is probaly from the Bank to the bridge entering Starfish Island.  I'd increase the chance of being able to bypass security if you guys preferred this, although you'd still have the 2mins 30 secs timer to crack the safe or you get nothing.

The new ideas are quite good.
I like the sound of them and they seem more efficient than before.

That's quite nice. I like your idea Rusty. Imagine that, a bank without any security. You would expect security guards to be at the bank anyway in real life to heighten security measures. As this isn't as easily done ingame, your idea is quite effective
