Mechanic Job - By BoelieBeast

by **Compton** on Fri Jan 13, 2012 8:53 pm

BoelieBeast Been working on this, how he calls it "cookie for the server" for like a week, I guess it can be pretty awsome for RP and as I remember some people even suggested it.

Well Boelie Added a Mechanic Job, there is a Mechanic skin in skin selection(you will find it), well only if you will choose that skin you will be able to work as a mechanic, it's a great thing todo when for example noone from your gang is online and you bored and want to earn some money and RP. The script is pretty easy and it's pretty much explained on the server. At the Mechanics spawn you may find few tow trucks and checkpoint where you will see "/fixcar" wrotten, this command will only work for the Mechanics.

One more thing: The cars are now brakeable, so try and drive more RP'ly around since when you get to some damage level the car just stops, and you will need to call a mechanic to fix it up, it will be the only way to get it fixed and make it drive again. For every fixed vehicle Mechanic earns 40$

One thing: To avoid abuse script was made so that mechanics can tow only broken cars, towtruck wont work on a still driving car.

-Boelie also added a lock command for the towtrucks and the police vehicles in PD. To unlock the vehicle you must come close to it and press "Y" button and to lock it you must press "N", it's pretty much explained on the server itself I think you guys will understand. Anyway this will be soon uploaded.

-Applause to Boelie Very Happy

Ok, The Script has been added to the server, enjoy. And there is 1 more thing I forgot to say:

-Broken cars can be found on the radar easy, they are marked as a white square on the map, so when a mechanic will see a white square you will know where to find the car that needs to be repaired.

Ok this went in the most fucked up way as it could.

People stealing eachothers cars and fix them without any RP, the mexhanic spawn is a war zone.

Alot of abuses like sitting breaking a ride near the checkpoint for tons of times and reparing it to spam they payment.

-Job was removed because it still needs alot of work on it.

Locked For Better Days.

The reason that it has been deleted again is the ammount of abuse.

The reason why i wanted to add this came from players own suggestions. It had to do with empty vehicles that needed to be respawned when there no admins present. It was also a short beta test to
see how people react on a new locking system.
This to prevent newbies on the server jacking your vehicle while you are RPing and other things related to it.

I cant make such usefull things if players are acting childish. I do realise that towtrucking is very funny and all of you wanted to try it out but please get a hold on yourself next time!.
Compton said it was no use adding it again. I agree with him that this mechanic job is very easy to abuse. Thats why i deleted the way of getting money for this job.

Theres no way you can get money out of the /fixcar command again. You have to ask the owner of the vehicle to /pay[id] you.

If this doesnt work and it will result again in abuse then i have to go with comptons idea of total removal. I dont see many more options
So if you want it to stay on the server

THEN DONT ABUSE!

This evening it will be added again. I hope it works..it certainly helps solving a few problems and it makes people who came with some suggestions verry happy.

Have a great RP time ! im counting on you!

Yours, BoelieBeast
