House Robbery Random Trigger

[MrSilky]

Date and time (provide timezone): 01/05/2023

Character name: Roberto_Sanchez

Issue/bug you are reporting: House randomly triggers alarm when no noise is made and all is followed correctly. I’ve heard unconfirmed whispers about houses randomly triggering on entry but this was not my situation. I was in, house alarm off, maintained being quiet, house triggered.

Looking for clarification on if this is intended behaviour, as it seems off given that it’s a skill based mini game. I understand potential random triggers on initial entry to mitigate “mastering” the activity and being risk free, but random triggers through a successful robbery should not be a thing.

Expected behavior:  House should not trigger alarm randomly during a robbery unless noise is made. 

Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate:

I to had this issue, pick locked the house perfect with no issue, walked in with the noise meter not even half way up and the alarm tripped.

I was told explicitly by @ArcAngel in-game that this is expected behavior, although I fail to see how.

Yeah, I've heard unconfirmed things like that also - so hoping a founder can clarify

Something similar happened to me. I had two more people in the house but they were still (also, I was the only one drilling), and the noise meter just leaped 50%.

It’s just a simple thing that you should not done when entering the house.

I also recently had this happen to me. Pick locked the door entered and it was already set off. Noise meter did not even get past 25%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_MgJTCIO_A

You done something wrong right after entering the house too like the others above.

Wouldn't know what it was. I do the same thing for every house and have done almost 20 now. First time it's happened

[Herbo]

So from what I HAVE HEARD (this is not confirmed just whispers from people when asked)

This is completely expected behavior regarding house robberies. There's a "Skill" aspect and also a "Random" aspect to it. Meaning that if you fuck up skill wise and send the noise all the way up, the alarm goes off. But also there's a "Random" element to it where the alarm will just randomly go off. If it's really like this I don't know it's just what I heard.

If this is actually how it is then I don't have a clue why. It makes no sense for there to be a skill and random aspect to it. It should either be fully skilled with only the alarm going off if you make too much noise, or there should be no noise meter and completely random.

Hope maybe @Osvaldon could reply to this giving us an insight into his coding and if this is expected behavior or actually a bug

Same thing happened to me today. Randomly triggered with the noise level being down all the way. Would be nice to get an official response if this is intended behavior or not.

this just happened to me in like 30mins ago

Has anyone ever had PD raid them without tripping an alarm? The house being ON ALARM when I enter happened to me once.. must be a bug. But if I never raise an alarm as I can still interact with the items AND the NPC never wakes up AND the noise meter is never filled.. how can PD receive a call?

I lost everything to this potential issue or bug and I am being told 1 thing by 1 admin and another by another admin. 

Can anyone assist or share anything?

[TheGrinch]

happened to me as well https://streamable.com/mf3z8y if @Osvaldon could just please let us know whether or not this is the intended behavior or not.

You're still able to successfully do them. I've done over 30 alone and only ever had this happen twice.

u right I can spare the 20k it's just kinda messed up for me to trust it again since it happened first try.

I do not know if it's intentional, the script was made by @Paulius

[exaal]

ive has a glitch where a cabinet is hidden behind a loot box and is unreachable from any angle it happens almost at every house for me.
