Props

[MrRoy]

Hello,

I think it is not fair that people can buy buildings in other worlds. Nobody can protect their own buildings because players just go to another world and buy it... It should be forbidden!

Let's say we make it so you can only buy properties in world 0. They go to world 5, drive to their property, and quickly switch to world 0 to buy it.

its fine as it is... i mean, you cant really defend a prop anyways.

lemme say, you stand at Gangbase and try to "defend" your prop.  Why would i care? i would just walk there, type /buy  and walk away, before you could even take down 10% of my armor.

you cant kill people faster than they could type /buy.

Yes you can. If you approach a property, you might not have enough money with you to buy it. So therefore you would then have to /withdraw the money, and /buy it. By that time you probably would have been killed whilst your typng it in.

Back when I used to be a property whore, I thought defending properties was one of the best parts of LVP and hated the idea of being able to buy properties from other worlds. So therefore to fix the issue that Matthias stated, I suggest we set a new time limit up - Players cannot buy properties within 30 seconds of switching worlds.

That won't change anything, they would just wait 30 seconds and buy it. Or they just go to /world x and drive around there to buy all of their props.

And, you can easily withdraw and buy without dying. Even with just health. Just withdraw before you go "in"(not everyone has a Platinum account so they would have to have the money with them already).

Exactly. And that 30 seconds will give the owner a chance to kill the player. I can't see people sticking to it anyway, they will just eventually get bored of waiting for 30 seconds with every property, and stick with world 0.

Or they just go to /world x and drive around there to buy all of their props.

Which is why the original post is suggesting to limit property purchasing to world 0.

Ever since I registered with Las Venturas Playground I've been using the property system. And I can honestly say that everytime I go to a property pickup I have to withdraw money because I can't remember how much each and every property is. Plus, I could never withdraw for example, 6 million before hand so I knew I had enough, because if I did I would probably get taxed.

There were many situations in the past where when withdrawing money and preparing to buy a property, I have been killed.

Jay's idea would work, providing that buying properties outside world 0, are disabled. Well, another thing you can do is when a player buys (/buy) a property, they must defend it for ten seconds, before they actually own it. By defend, I mean avoid death. Switching worlds could be disabled during this time, too. Also, their money is only withdrawn from their bank if they successfully defend their property.

I don't buy properties much, so I've forgotten the system. Do I still have to wait 10 minutes to buy a property after someone has just bought it? Or has that changed?

[Richard]

Exactly. And that 30 seconds will give the owner a chance to kill the player. I can't see people sticking to it anyway, they will just eventually get bored of waiting for 30 seconds with every property, and stick with world 0.

Of course not, if they switch worlds to buy it, how would the defender kill them if he doesn't even see them?

If it's limited, then it would work indeed.

Of course, but there's ATMs scattered around the place, so there's always a place near to withdraw. You drive to it, check the price whilst getting shot(or you just take like 2 million with you, which will do for most properties) and get the cash. Come back, do the same but type /buy. I never ever got killed whilst buying a property.

Exact opposite here.
