CaesarSeizure Posted June 25, 2020 Report Posted June 25, 2020 Currently drills have only 1 purpose, opening the bank. Would be a great addition to allow for drills to open safes, as it just doesn't make sense that a drill can open a bank vault but can't be used to open up a safe. 2 6 Quote
ShawnsBeard Posted June 25, 2020 Report Posted June 25, 2020 +1, I think if somehow someone has the ability to access a safe and have the time to drill into it, they should be able to. Seems silly that I could just leave my house door unlocked but as long as my safes are locked none of my belongings can be stolen. Quote
Xoza Posted June 27, 2020 Report Posted June 27, 2020 +1 A civilian use could also be to drill ore, offers a little more (because of the timer) but gives a chance to spawn a rare gem from the ore. 1 Quote
kenichis Posted June 27, 2020 Report Posted June 27, 2020 +1 and also to the idea that a drill could be used as a sort of premium pickaxe 2 Quote
Percival Posted June 28, 2020 Report Posted June 28, 2020 +1 no reason not to and its a drill so lol Quote
CaesarSeizure Posted February 25, 2021 Author Report Posted February 25, 2021 Just bringing this back to life, still believe it would be a good addition. Just doesn't make sense that a drill can open a bank vault but can't be used to crack open a simple house safe. Would also make VALID house raids better for both crims and LEO, as both require not only approval but SR admin+ on scene to open them. Quote
THNDR Posted February 25, 2021 Report Posted February 25, 2021 +1 I think there should be an option to break into safes, not making them scriptly inaccessible. The drill takes up 50vol and with a longer timer, I think this could add a lot to the criminal side, and why not PD side too. Seeing that most criminals (in my experience) have airlocks and whatnot in their houses, if someone goes trough all that work to get to a safe, they should have the option to attempt to drill it. 1 1 Quote
seppia2012 Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 +1 Maybe make it so an alarm triggers as soon as you start drilling for the owner of that safe or whoever has permission in that interior so you can't just enter someone's house/RV and do it by yourself. You would need at least one person to watch your back unless you are 100% sure nobody will bother you. Quote
tigerpet15 Posted March 29, 2021 Report Posted March 29, 2021 + 1 I actually thought that you can use drills for this purpose and bought one and as a single criminla I have no use for it. Quote
Freddie West Posted May 20, 2021 Report Posted May 20, 2021 +1, dunno why this isn't already a feature Quote
josh weathers Posted May 20, 2021 Report Posted May 20, 2021 This would make sense because drills are only used to open bank doors it would also make sense if it was used to open little safes aswell if u somehow manage to get in the persons house. +1 Quote
NeganTrueSavior Posted July 15, 2021 Report Posted July 15, 2021 1+ love the idea but one guy said it would alert the owner first off to get into someone's house you need the owner or someone with access to the house i do understand you mean like RV's but nah no alarm they owner will already know somethings wrong when they get alert your RV's alarm went off but I do love the idea first time i got a drill I thought you could drill safes but I learned you can't Quote
Night Posted October 9, 2024 Report Posted October 9, 2024 Additional conversation for the other side of the suggestion can be found here: https://forum.eclipse-rp.net/topic/150886-script-to-drill-on-players-safes/ Quote
inorigj Posted October 9, 2024 Report Posted October 9, 2024 I'm kind of split on this one. On one hand. LEO's already have access to "break open" a safe, but with the use of staff assistance. I find this ridiculous. I get that's it's needed since there is no script way to do it. But it leaves Crims fully left out of the same cake. Imagen this. A gang sees their rival gang transport a shipment of guns and ammo to a stash house. They know now. It's all there. They got RP motivation and reason to full on raid that property. They wait around. The next day, see someone with a key to the door and pushes in. They get inside but darn. That guy with the key is a low ranking member and only has keys to enter the property, but not the codes to the safes. If this was PD, they call staff and "blow open" the safes and take all of it. I'm all for PD a government entity to have this power. But gangs should also have this ability but slower, with a drill for example. PD having an instant way to open it. While criminals having to "lockpick" the safe with a drill. That could be like 120 seconds to 300 seconds per safe. On the other hand. Random House raids with little to no escalating would be the meta if this were to be added. Yes you could report it. But I think the forum is filled with enough reports as it is. Shouldn't add more reasons to report poor RP era. Quote

We don't just call staff, but first a warrant needs to get approved which is done by a 3rd party not affiliated with PD. Then a specialized member of PD needs to be online to do said RP, not everyone in PD can just RP "blowing open" the safes. Quote
