Looting people

This should be implemented as another side for crim RP as it would bring a bit more fear for life when you know you have a chance to lose what you have. As it is right now you don't need to worry about your items unless cops are around. So people would be less likely to try initiate fights over nothing as they don't wanna lose items.

This could be implemented fairly by making it a request to loot people (press H to let ID: X loot you). This would mean that people would not be able to abuse it freely as it has to be RP'ed from both sides. This should only be able to done whilst two cops are around so civs wont be unsafe if none are clocked in.

There should also be a cool down for this function so people cant mainly base there RP around looting people. This should be done so that once you loot a person a 5 min counter starts and after that first 5 mins you are unable to search another person for 25 mins. This is so you could loot a group of people then after that you have to lay low for a short while.

I want this as from the standpoint of a crim when it comes to gang VS gang it gives you more ways to create a cool situation, I've had it before where we had a other crim who posed as one of us and shot people and all we could do to him without killing him was hitting him. I think having this in would open a whole new way for criminals to be criminals.

I’m not leaving it up to players to follow the rules IF we implement this in some way. I will force it through the script or my entire staff team will want to quit the server from dealing with all of the people who break this type of rule. Also, the feedback is great and don’t take this as a deterrent but there’s a reason nothings been done on that other feedback about looting people. Our current inventory system is really really really old and really really really bad. So yeah, still on hold until new inventory system is in and then we can see what we can do.

yeah i think if its added then adjusted as we go along it could actually be really well balanced and could add some amazing rp for streamers and crims.

I think a good alternative for this would be anyone can be looted at any point if they have their hands up.

The person then gets the prompt "Press X to rob this person"

There is then a loading bar that varies between 2-5 seconds, at the end of this time you'll get a random item from their inventory instead of being able to pick and choose.

Stops people from just speed robbing players and taking everything in 10 seconds, adds a bigger risk element longer you stand and loot the more chance of being caught.

The only type of people who wouldn't want this are the people that literally carry EVERYTHING in their pockets - even probably $20,000 cash to spare. So of course they'd say no because they don't wanna get robbed and lose their stuff.

Even IRL, of course, stuff can happen at night if you live in a big city. But limiting robbing to only during the night can be a bit meta, as all the illegal actions would be targeted only towards the night. House robberies are already a thing only during the night. But you can also be robbed in the middle of the day if you are at the wrong place and at the wrong time.

I agree with the timer tho', so it would balance things and not let people go chain robbing every person they see.

I know there was a robbing system for like a restart cycle and then it got taken out. That one was decent, from what I remember, and would be perfect if adjusted with the timer.

just so you know, im agreeing with you, im saying they should only be able to take illegal/crim items BUT id like to see a secret pocket too.

Oh my mistake, yeh that sounds cool then! Hidden items should be small, like a gps tracker or knife vs an m4 or 20 bands.

Agree locals should have a chance of calling PD the longer you take. Fair point about people robbing for different reasons.

I don't see the issue with civ items being taken, as if there's a short time frame to loot & possibly getting the risk of a local calling the cops on the looter (much like locals will call EMS for downed people or when trying to sell drugs) who realistically is going to waste their limited time looting said civ items unless that's all they are there for. & if that is all they are there for, it could be for a line of RP, such as someone homeless or short for money having to rob someone with a bat or hammer for the food they may have on them.

Much the same as I think a secret pocket could be a cool idea if possible to implement. With looting abilities added, and only 1 or 2 secret small pockets available, it'll push people to be a lot more wary about what they keep on their person.

Follow on from that, encourage people to then save for a motel or even a house. Pushing for more interaction for D8, however gives more reason for the emptying trunks glitch to also be fixed; but that is for another suggestion.

You wouldn't, you'd put the one or two valuables that people would want, so they probably take the extra time or just kidnap you and take you somewhere else to search you. Either way you're left with nothing but it wastes more of your time.

To put it a different way, why would we need to clear out someone's entire inventory?

its not gonna be a common thing for someone to carry a key or lots of dirty on them at all times so them kinds of robbery wont be an issue. people cant really just clear out your inventory just to clear it, they will have there own items so they wont be able to carry everything so you'll be left with your gun anyways.

why would you put a soda in that kind of pocket anyways? im saying that is for the more secret items like D-keys or dirty cash. the idea that you can only see "illegal" or items that are useful to crims is fine. but id still like to see a secret pocket area that you can store small items in.

That's still getting pocket wiped even if it takes a little longer. I'd like to keep meds, food, drinks.. Low-value items that are only a pain in the ass to restock. Not much point in taking that stuff & we could still RP it out f what really need is a can of soda or a bandage.

I think that having a secret section of your pockets when the new inventory is released so you could have 2 slots to put some smaller items in hidden spots so you can keep some of your more valuable items hidden from police and robbers. Then having a option to do some type of advanced search that would take you longer to look through. almost like a high risk for high reward if the person has something in them.
