Vice City Pursuits

[Emre]

I know this idea seems like copycat,but just take time to read.

The idea includes the equipment of Need for speed hot pursuit (2010) such as EMP and or riding spike strips,etc. for suspects and Cops,driving a vehicle

Lets start with the "EMP",the easiest one to explain.

EMP stands for "Electromagnetic Pulse".Once you aim at a suspect in your near visual,you have to wait several seconds,and it turns off the power of the suspects car for a moment.It gives you advantage to stick closer to him and hit.

Here an example video of how it works for criminals


Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Racer Weapon - EMP


here for cops


Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Cop Weapon - EMP

In the game,you press a Key,but ingame it would be a command,such as /c EMP <ID>.But you(either the suspect or the cop) have to be behind the target in a distance of 1-100 metres,something as that,else it's too far away.


Next one will be the "interfering transmitter".I think by the name itself,you can figure out what it is.Mainly the suspects use it to shut the systems of the Police down,for about 20 Seconds.This makes the Cops unable to request backup(shutdown of the Radio),set spike strips (The power is turned off) And so on.The command would be /c trans
Really simple,isn't it?


Next one,is the "Moving Spike Strip".
As you all know,cops can drop spikes in the game.Now there is the chance,for criminals AND cops,to drop them off the rear part of the vehicle.It will be active in 1-2 seconds,widing itself out as the usual one.It will be active until someone drives over it,or no one drove over it for over 10 Seconds./c Rollspike might be a fitting command.

And here the one for Criminals

I know that there are other equipments in the need for speed game,such as roadblock,helicopter,and turbo.But ... you can imagine yourself,that it's impossible to add it here.



For the ideas,which i have listed up,i'd like to hear suggestions.I have posted them therefor,because they wouldn't be impossible to add.

Tell me what you think


EDIT : The equipment would be buyable at any car store,or at a Pay n Spray,for example.

altouh, your ideas a great.. i dont think we should have them
since, were in the 80's in vice city... (for almost 10 years!)

I don't like the idea of the EMP thing. I wouldn't find that enjoyable (Being on either side of the law) with some random suddenly freezing my car. Not cool

The spiketrip drops may be cool though. However I think it needs to be implemented into the server better. My idea would be adding FBI Ranchers, with the power of dropping spikes. This allows criminals to be aware that if there is a cop in a Rancher, they could drop spikes. I'm not sure however, that it's possible to script. I'm not sure about that. But if spikes are possible to drop behind cars, why not let people drop grenades? That would cause of some serious damage.

There would be a message visible for you at the chat,such as
You are being targeted by an EMP!Watch out!

And you would need to go out of the EMPs visual,where a message will arrive for you
You've avoided the EMP.Good Job,but the Chase isn't over!

and for the one who didnt succeed
Your EMP has missed the target.The Chase is still going on!

Maybe something as that,so it would not happen all the sudden :roll:

Dropping grenades is technically impossible,as it would lead to a chaos / damage(as you said) or abuse.
Not sure how to define it precisely

[danigold1]

hehe, and if you fail and get the EMP...
YOUVE BEEN EMP'D! ELECTRONICS ARE DOWN!!
theres the reference (turn down the volume a little):
Spetsnaz get EMPed for 10 minutes

hehe, imagine if we could make it be in-game when youll get EMP'd if the idea works? 

[~Legend~]

I remember you telling me about these in the server, Emre. Personally I think they would brings some extra depth to the scripts, and would definitely be quite unique, if possible as suggested.

Obviously, it would have to be limited to a certain range of law enforcement players (with ARPD etc.) to prevent abuse.
Plus, it could as likely be privately available to be bought. Even trying those ideas out would be pretty fun. :razz:
The EMP may prevent some quite awesome chases though, unless limited in use some way or another.

Also, just another suggestion...
I am not sure how many of you would know, but if you remember the original GTA: VC game; once you had the SWAT after you, they set up barricades to try and prevent your escape at various points with Enforcers, as well as these mini barricades? If those were deployable in addition to the spikestrips, they may be quite good (for roleplay purposes in the very least).

[Klaus]

Well, VC:MP doesn't yet offer all that the game can do. If you remember, there is a mission where you chase a hearse. While chasing it drops coffins that if you drive over, explode like a fire bomb.

[~Legend~]

Yea true, the VC:MP client itself is a bit of a limitation sometimes, hm?

Then there are those little things from the game, such as when delivering pizzas - in a mission, there being a possibility of throwing pizzas to the customers' doors (though touching on animation).

[Davron]

I think the spike strip thing may work but i disagree with the EMP thing.But spike strip should be Animated so we can atlease see it

[Call_me_Dad]

I like the Spikes Idea....
There is a feature in VCMP to disable your vehicle tires(luckily it works!), So this is possible to script.
Though animated spikes are impossible, since you can only /spike when on foot.
So you wont actually see spikes....
But we can rename "Spike Strips" by Nails....."You dropped a handful of nails from your car"
So I think they can account for the invisibility.

Though this is pretty hard to script, coz it should work only if you drop nails ahead of the target.
And Lag makes it even worse.
But if Im able to pull it off, it will be added

So, i Guess Cops will be given 3 bags of nails, and can restock from PD
Others can buy from PnS @ $50 a bag?

Exactly What i've meant

And the Spikes dont need to be animated anyway,maybe straight an open nail strip.

[Call_me_Dad]

Not animated means....its not possible to display spikes.
They have to be invisible.
The tires will just pop outta nowhere
