Harveyyy Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) I want to make a suggestion regarding stealing cars. What I feel right now is that stealing cars are a bit unrealistic, how? let me explain it. When someone wants to steal a vehicle, they just use bobbypins, in which will help him unlocking the car doors, but what about the actual engine? Realistically, after I park my car, I would take off the keys from the ignition and then lock the doors, but here, all you have to do is just picklock the door and then magically turn on the engine (with no keys) and take off. How is that realistic if the actual keys are on the owner's person ?? How can this be improved? When someone park his vehicle, he should take off the keys by using a command like "/takekeys" this will make it impossible to turn on the engine, unless the thief has a "Hot-wire kit" which will has the same functionality as the bobbypins. /hotwire to initiate the process. If the owner of the vehicle forgets to turn off the engine and take the keys off of the ignition, obviously, there would be no need for a hot-wire kit. Just like the PD cruisers, if the engine is OFF, no one can turn it on unless they're PD and on-duty, I don't see the difference between cruisers and the other cars. This will also solve the issue where some people abuse the lag and yeet vehicles in an unrealistic manner. If anyone has any other ideas that will improve this, feel free to state it below, also if you feel like this would be abused in any way, please explain it below. This is just an idea that can be improved in numerous ways. Cheers! Edited April 17, 2021 by Harveyyy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaesarSeizure Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 +1 The lock pick system itself needs some work, but this would make it more interesting, not just getting into the car and youre off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjaer Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 +1, allows for distintive crim RP differences such as felony GTA vs break in enter and theft and allows more rp car theft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimeyBear101 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 +1 Could even add an item that you will need to help hotwire the car! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton_Smith Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) +1 This would prevent Ninja-jacking. I've noticed a spike in people just avoiding the lockpick system and just waiting around gas stations because you can't avoid keeping your car unlocked. Dick move but efficient and easy IG.

Carl Johnson Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) But then the time to pick the goddamn car doors needs to be decreased, trying to start the engine should be the interesting part. In general its not very realistic to pick the door for like a minute, break the bobby pin (or whatever happens to it) and repeat. Again and again... Think the lock itself should be fucked when you try it too often and it would be nice if you could also break the doors with a crowbar.

phantomsmitt Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yeah car thefts are insane right now, It's pretty much impossible for cops to catch the people too. Being a trucker is such a shitty experience because of car thefts. people just camp out the docks to steal cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apologisemeow Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Stealing cars is way too easy at the moment you cant leave your car anywhere for more than 10 minutes without somebody trying to take it, more complex system would be great as it should be challenge to steal car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
