Package transporting system to make money
SummaryPackages appear at random times and places around LV. U can pick them up with a vehicle by driving over them and pressing Left Shift (or whatever) But before u accept, there is a message showing properties of the transport mission.
Cargo Name: Drugs
Cargo Weight: 10 kg
Trzansport To: Caligulas
Time Limit: 1 minute
Value: 50 000 $
Penalty: 10 000 $
The weight is important for the car u have. Some packages can be like 1kg and will usually have a short time limit so its best u use NRG for example. Others can be like 10 000 kg and u need a truck with trailer to transport it, with bigger time limit and also off course more money.(yet there is a higher risk of failing the mission)
Up until now, its all for non DMers. However, when u manage to carjack a car holding a package u can bring that car to a central depot wich buys every package, but off course for a smaller amount then the original value, usually around the penalty value (ill explain later why this is important to avoid abuse)
So as a transporter, when u get the package to the place at time u recieve ur award. Simple, easy everybody happy. But as i said u can carjack the transporter. FOllowing situation can occur:
The transporter or another player destroys the vehicle: Transporter has to pay the penalty and the destroyer gets nothing. (just some flaming from the transporter :p)
A player carjacks the vehicle and manages to get the car to the Guy Who Buys All and gets some money for it. There is no time limit anymore now, so the carjacker can now just chill and try to get to the depot to get his money. The transporter has to pay the penalty.
If the transporter does not die while getting carjacked, he still has a change to re carjack the vehicle with the package and deliver the package. if however the transporter dies, he can never get the cargo back, not even after respanwing and has to pay the penalty.
Note: For trucks with trailers: The trailer holds the cargo, not the truck (truck can die as long as trailer is alive u can still deliver)
Abuse 1 : It is possible for 2 players to team up and just like get into transport missions and then just carjack his mate and get it to the central depot to make easy money. However, if the value of the carjacked cargo is equal to or lower then the penalty the other player has to pay when the cargo is lost, there is no gain of money possible with this method. Leaving abusers crying XD
Abuse 2: If you would do a transporting mission and loose the cargo to a carjacker, but u cant pay for the penalty, this would result into a net gain of money towards the carjacker, and again if ppl would team up this would result into abuse. Therefor, it would not be possible to do a transport mission, if you can not pay the penalty from your bank money. To avoid abuse by removing cash from ur bank after accepting transport mission, the amount is dedcuted from the bank, when accepting the mission. So actually the penalty is returned when u can deliver the package instead of removed if failed
leaving possible abuser, again crying
Advantages* A new exciting and fun way to get money in LW for ppl who dont like to DM a lot and yet also for ppl who like to DM and carjack transporters. All people happy
Disadvantages* It might be possible that some noob finds a way to abuse it to get money somehow, but then the script can be updated or admins can just BAN BAN BAN XD
ScriptI have done some pwno scripting in the past, and i know that my idea is possible (when i think about script ideas, i think in script language so i know its possible). So if you would have questions about how to script this please ask in this topic then, before i type out all the script needed for this. I believe its fairly simple though.
