The 5 car limit rule.

[Klaus]

I dont give a shit about criminal who has killed all the cops. What about all those wives and children? Children will have to be raised without a father.

And I couldn't care less about a dumbass cop who tried to rambo a group of highly skilled ninja gang members who can take out SWAT operatives and FBI agents. You know what I'd say to the widow of the cop I just beheaded with a shotgun to the face? I'd say he'd picked the wrong job at the wrong time..

The way the discussion is going right now, I think it's safe to say that while the 5-car limit rule is staying in place, there will not be scripted punishment for "breaking" it. A command to see how many cars a criminal has used might be a better idea, but it still won't be very logical since there will be ways around it (*cough* boats *cough*)

Also, being the nitpicky programmer I am:

Actually, the IDs are constant. This is pretty much how we're able to script vehicle access and ownership.

Well alternative can be used. Server can detect if cars are destroyed? On that event script would overwrite the cars ID in the array with something like "random(9000,9000000)". Then If person uses the car destroyed before, the script will treat the car as a new element in array.

It doesn't work like that. What event would be used in the script? Do we expect the script to make, like, 80 I/O calls just because a car exploded? That will lag the server really hard. Let's just leave this to the admins. Human error is better than scripted error, because unlike scripts, humans can easily adapt.

TL;DR
Definite no from me.

Making scripts for rules is just dumb.

/c warn
/c kick
/c ban

As for SA:MP... didn't they remove the Car Limit a long time ago due to police cars being able to repair (starting in 0.3b / 0.3c)? :trust:

Hmm, If it would cause more lag then it would be reasonable not to script it. However 5 vechile rule should still be taken seriously.

I couldn't care less about a coward criminal who needs a group of highly skilled ninja gang members to guard his ass while there are 1 cop per 4 criminals in the server. Do you expect the cop to say "f**k it, there are too many, Ill just let them cause havoc and head off to eat donuts"?

Anyway sorry, some stuff has gone a little bit off-topic.

Oh, so now criminals are cowards because they have friends? Whatever mate

Understandable. That doesn't mean it needs a script, though.

Yes. It happens every day
I still don't get what this has to do with the five vehicle rule, though.
