Stealing shotguns from cop cars.

[rJCaiG]

Why are people getting PUNISHED for this? Punishing people for this roleplay is the most bullshit policy I have EVER seen enforced...It is NOT the admins' job to stop people playing a part of the game...Shotguns are given from cop cars in singleplayer ever...It's the cops' job to make sure people are not stealing guns from their cars...People have been RPing stealing the shotguns since 0.1b, and the policy has always been that cops take care of them..why are some guys deciding to change this policy now? It's not a special script on Argonath, we can't control it (Well, I suppose we could if we wanted to.) and it's pathetic that some guys are getting banned for it... :|

Taking free Shotgun from police vehicles is seen as scripts abuse for reasons such as:
1) It costs at Ammunation, and you get it for free from police vehicle.
2) Gathering it in big amounts to sell it forward and gain personal funds.
3) You still get it due to a bug though the doors are locked from civilians.
4) There are mods/hacks which can actually use this as advantage and give you free Combat Shotgun or other weapon instead of Shotgun.

I believe I have seen a Manager(Pancher I believe) say that it was not script abuse. I might be wrong though!

[Joosty]

maybe players who steals shotguns from PD cars gets automatic suspect for doing it. or lock the police cars that only cops can get in.

[TheRock]

well... CBF could script something to have this erased once a Civilian enters, as if it did for all, even cops who had shotgun on them, would loose it..

or... he can just make a system to detect when a player have had a shotgun before entering the vehicle, so in case he had no shotgun on him, it can run that script to remove the shotgun x 5 from him(which he will gain on entrance), unless a cop on duty.. and bingo.. no problem

But there's nothing wrong with doing it, so why would we need to have it taken away?

that shotgun, can be abuse in so much way, which i can't explain because if i do so, some players will do it -.-.
i think cops have the rights to get the shotgun, but not the civilian..

I think the best thing would be if Gandalf or Aragorn would reply here with proper answer about it.

[Bilbo]

or lock the police cars that only cops can get in.

It already is so, and that's why it's scripts abusing as you can still get the weapon due to a desynch bug.

I think the best thing would be if Gandalf or Aragorn would reply here with proper answer about it.

If I still remember right, last time it was announced as scripts abusing from Gandalf, himself.

I've roleplayed stealing a shotgun from a cop car before. An admin was part of the roleplay (can't recall the name, he doesn't play on Argonath anymore I believe) and he didn't have any problems with it.

[Bilbo]

If you want, you make one yourself. I'm sure the developers would be pleased.

I am not sure, but I think that cop cars' doors were locked for civilians.

[Pandalink]

Its against the law, not against the rules.
Any admin punishing for this must be very confused.

Edit: Checked again, its definitely not in the rules.

[Bilbo]

Last time the rules were updated were like... ages ago.

@Janar, they are, but thanks to the desynch bug, people are still able to take Shotgun from PD cars when they 'desynch-enter' it.

5) Its tab abuse? ...
