[Feature] Tow Truck

This idea involves a few of the other idea's posted in this forum.
  • City Hall
  • License
  • Police

I'll start with where this idea came from so you can better understand.

Along with LVP needing improvement for gangs I noticed LVP also needed more things to do, which you know already. So I visited a few RP servers to get some new ideas, then I noticed alot of the ideas here are on the same path as alot of RP servers. With that said, read on..

City Hall -
Any jobs that are created, along with buying gun licenses, life insurance, ect. should be bought from City Hall. The reason I say this is because my idea for tow trucks is a job, and I think it should be "applied for" via City Hall.

Tow Truck Driver -
The idea is pretty simple and flexible. A RP server that I was on had a tow truck driver job. The tow truck company was located in a building similar to Fight Club. The only entrance has a gate so players can't get in to retreive their car if impounded. Mind you this server doesn't have ramping, which is why I think the best place for the impound lot would be the lower level of the LVPD. It has 2 entrances which can be blocked with a gate, and imposible to ramp in and out of. This gate has the commands: /opentow and /closetow. The gate simply lowers into the ground, and back up when closed. The tow trucks are also kept in this lot, and only tow truck drivers can use them.

When a player has the tow truck driver job they can simply roam around and look for improperly parked cars (not parked in lots specified by...whoever). Now that I think of it, one problem here is respawning. owned cars should only be respawned after..say 10 minutes to give tow truck drivers a chance, and not respawned at all of they are in a proper parking area. Obviously once the player leaves the server it will then not be owned and eventually respawned.

anyway, back on topic?  _O-
Once a car is found the tow truck driver can try to get in (if locked) and will give them a message "this car is owned by BadParkingIdiot, and is locked" (so they know the car is owned). The player can then tow it to the impound lot. Once in the defined area of the impound lot the owner of the car get's a message "your shitty parking forced a tow truck driver to impound your car. Please pay ($10,000 ?) at city hall to release it". Once it's paid the tow truck driver gets the money and the car is respawned outside of City Hall.

That's my idea, and I'm stickin' to it.  :+

It's a nice idea and sounds to be quite a lot of work :P

anyway, I agree with the city hall, hence why I suggested it. But about the towtruck, Let's wait and see how we do the car ownership system first. I definitely like it though

It's indeed a nice idea, was also in my mind. But I was thinking more of making the Tow Trucks work.
So just let them random spawn somewhere, so we can just play with it. :+

Anywayz, as I said. Good/Nice idea.
