Demonmit1 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Who is the suggestion for? - Civilian Commercial Truck Drivers Why is the suggestion being made? - To increase realism and complexity to make the truck driving job more engaging for people interested in driving large vehicles. What are the pros and/or cons of the suggestion? - Pro: Heightened realism and a skill requirement to properly drive a 18-wheeler with a trailer. - Pro: forces truck drivers to be significantly more careful in driving as to not lose their load while driving - Pro: more realistic RP experience for people interested in driving truck delivery - Con: People will complain as it makes the job harder for those who just want a quick buck. - Con: potential for bigger accidents involving trucks and trailers, maybe potential Desync issues. - Con: Adjustments to the pickup / Drop off locations might need to be made to accommodate full size 18-wheelers with trailers How should the suggestion be implemented? - No longer supply the current Pounder box truck for players signing up for the trucker job - Provide Rented Phantoms or Haulers (Semi's capable of pulling a trailer) at the trucker job site - Spawn the correct trailer model at the different Depots (weapons, Fuel, Vehicle, Food) - Despawn the trailer once the cargo is dropped off - Make it FailRP to intentionally ditch the trailer to drive to the drop off destination faster - Reduce the time it takes for players to sit idle while Cargo is loaded, the trailer should count as already pre-loaded and waiting for pickup. this should help balance out the average hourly income due to the added complexity and being slowed down by the weight of an actual trailer. Vehicle Depot would spawn a "Car Trailer" Fuel Depot would spawn a "Tanker Trailer" Food Depot would spawn a "Trailer S" Weapons Depot could spawn a "Dock Trailer" or a "Army Trailer" Potential ideas to implement that is similar to the initial idea - Maybe give players the option between driving a pounder, having to sit and get loaded at pickup locations, or driving a phantom, being able to pick up a trailer and leave without having to sit to wait for loading to happen, as the trailer is already on site and loaded. this would give truck driving players more choice in how they want to interact with this job - maybe have a "rank up" style interaction where players renting a truck from the trucker job are given a Pounder to drive, and are required to sit and get loaded at each of the pickup locations. But, if a player is interested in getting more involved with trucking, if they join the job while driving a trailer compatible vehicle, they can use their private vehicle to pick up pre-filled spawned in trailers to do the deliveries. This would let players used to the current system still do as they are used to, but allow players who invest in their own private truck, who have to pay for their own repairs and gas, let them have a benefit for the extra effort and cost required to properly drive a 18-wheeler with a trailer. TLDR: no more box trucks. make players spawn with phantom, and have to pick up actual spawned in trailers and drop them off at the delivery locations.

Requiem Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Unfortunately your suggestion cannot be used. It has been confirmed by the developers that trailers cause too much desync to properly work on the server and were therefore removed quite some time ago.

I enjoyed your presentation and agree with your points but, as above has said, its not technically feasible currently.
