Making speakers harder to steal

[alexalex303]

From mechanics to gang members, a lot of organized groups on the server have at one point used a speaker to play some music during down-time, and most of them have likely had it stolen with little to no roleplay because of it's relatively high value and extreme ease of picking up.

I think we can all agree it would be way harder to steal a speaker from a group of people realistically, but besides the realism, this change is proposed in the spirit of making the game more fun, and increase social RP.

I propose that in order to pick up a speaker put down by someone else, you will need to have a crowbar in your hands, and you will need to wait 15 to 30s in an animation (can be the same animation as ATM robbery).

+1 the the idea.

Another option would be to decrease the price of speakers, so people feel less inclined to steal a speaker. I feel that 10.000 is a hefty price if you compare it to most of the other items in the server.

yeah it makes sense +1

+1 good suggestion, stops trolls, and proposes more RP

gonna be real though if youre stupid enough to stand at LSC and just leave your speaker out its bound to get stolen. if you reduce price tho this less likely to happen.

I believe an animation with a 5-10s timer would be enough to allow people to react

world's most subtle speaker thief

+1, very epic. no need for the crowbar and all that though, just lock them in the trunk search animation

I think the crowbar turns it from a crime of opportunity to a crime that you need to prepare for, as not many people go around with a crowbar.

it's fine as a crime of opportunity since it's a "portable" speaker so long as there's a chance to retaliate, which the animation provides

biggest problem is just that it's instant with no obvious indication of who's done it

+1 i would suggest that it would be just a little minigame with 4-5 props instead of 10 like how you pick up a car jack instead of needing a crowbar to pick up a speaker since if your the owner and you placed down your own speaker and you dont have a crowbar on you it would kind of become an awkward moment...

I think it should have a action timer such as picking up a carjack. make it play a audio able sound as that speaker is BIG. you'd need to put in some force in to picking that up.
