[Feature] Bombing - Vehicles

[tomozj]

What would be extremely good is driving a car into the middle of a pack of people, and blowing it sky-high. This would ultimately be a bomb shop job, however costing much more, and dealing much more damage. Activated with the remote weapon (it is possible to script, RSole did it in the original B&A gang server with dynamite objects and the remote), this would be very cool.

I actually planned doing this a while back, infact I did but then reinstalled my OS & lost the code with it in. Anyway, the downfall with this is that say you have armed your vehicle with a bomb and it is about to go off. What are you more than likely to do? Dive out. Now, GetVehiclePos only works when a player is IN the car, so say you dive out, it will explode where you was last in the vehicle. + There are other abusive things to it - For example, the ship. Players can car bomb people standing near the ship.

The only possible system that would work would be parked car bombs. In other words, the bomb only goes off when someone enters the vehicle & starts the engine, GTA III style. More realistic aswell.

Hmm, that's true. In regards to the ship, we could just disable it near the ship -- like /nuke.

That would be very cool. However a very quiet 'ticking' noise would be cool (or some kind of beeping) at the car, so that there's a chance to detect the bomb. However, that chance would be tricky, ending up in many people hopping in and getting fucked.

Another idea would simply that the car is locked when armed, and when someone tries to get in it explodes a little underground -- meaning that the explosion looks pretty good, however the player wouldn't be dead, and the one who armed the bomb could go and finish them off. This would avoid people just setting cars with bombs everywhere to mass-kill, and also then the player would get the kill.

We could just reset the bomb when the vehicle re-spawns though along with a message to the person who armed it "Your Vehicle bomb exploded itself" or something. We could as well make the vehicle bombs a tad expensive so that not that many people die, or, maybe a menu could appear when you enter the bomb shop like:

Small explosion [survival likely] - Cheapish
Medium Explosion [survival possible] - Triple the price of the small explosion
Large explosion [suvival impossible] - Triple the price of the medium explosion.

There are quite a few different explosion types, some really small, some really big, and the radius can be changed too.

And of course, we can simply create more than one explosion.

I love it. Carbombs ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lovely.

Really, that's definetely something I'd spend money on. Loads of money...

I like the GTA 3 style bomb, however, I only think such a script would work if cars were treated like those in RP servers. It would give a reason to place a bomb in it. Anyone who has played on servers like LS-RP will catch my drift.

Would be nice, maybe we could add that on the menu too?
