Brief Summary:
Add a timer to searching vehicles. This increases realism as at the moment it is very quick and unrealistic to search vehicles.
Detailed Suggestion:
Since I’ve joined the server, the ‘searching’ vehicle mechanic has always been the same. I’ve seen some negatives with this, mainly being unrealistic because a search of a vehicle wouldn’t be instant. My idea would be to add a percentage/timer bar; similar to when you eat food etc. This means that people can’t run up to random cars, look into boots and bolt with whatever was in there, if the owner forgets to lock it as soon as they get in.
To battle the idea of ‘I know what’s in there so why do I need to search it’ argument, anyone with keys can search a vehicle with no timer. This would make it as realistic as possible (whilst being the simplest too) because the vehicle owner will know the contents and so in theory wouldn’t need to ‘search’ for them. Of course then if they are doing illegal activities with cars involved, they can share keys because we can make the assumption that the owner has ‘notified’ them of the contents through RP.
The Pros:
- Realism
- Don’t have people running up to cars and stealing stuff out of the blue
- Always a chance to catch people in the act
The Cons:
- People will be upset that it takes time if they try to quickly take something.
Does this suggestion change balance on the server?
If so, only slightly.
