Robberies and Policing

Policing: Impound Lot

• Ability to grab any empty vehicle with copters, including other copters, planes, and boats

• If it was driven by a criminal, you take it to the impound lot and get paid for impounding it

• Grabbing a vehicle to impound via copter is faster than grabbing other vehicles

  • Reason: mag-lock for impounding bonus

  • Tow trucks get no advantage or otherwise

• Also a bonus to paycheck for impounding criminal vehicles

• Tow Truck vehicle to grab land vehicles while air vehicles can grab any

• Abandoned vehicles can be dropped off here for some cash as well, but do not count towards the impound bonus paycheck pay

  • To be abandoned, the vehicle owner must either be dead or be farther than 150 studs away and must have been police

• Impounded vehicles are deleted

• Abandoned/Returned vehicles await their owners in the parking garage (attached to impound), and are deleted if the owner summons a new car

• Random vehicles picked up from there spawn: deleted/returned to it’s spawn, no pay

• Criminals cannot use the impound, but vehicles will be deleted or moved depending on what they drop there

  • Police vehicle: moved to police vehicle garage

  • Criminal vehicle: Impounded and the pay is split amongst the cops

  • Random vehicle picked up from it’s spawn: deleted/returned to it’s spawn

• LOCATION IDEA: turn the dud building that is beside the police superbase into the impound area and turn the dud building beside that into the police Vehicle Garage, or vice versa, either way both are beside the superbase

Criminal Fun

• Criminals can do the same thing as cops, but cannot use the impound lot, instead they get bonus pay on their paycheck for tossing cop vehicles into a volcano

• Whenever either team drops a vehicle into a volcano, the vehicle is destroyed (deleted) from the map

• A new addition to the criminal volcano base will add a silo and a parking garage to the base

  • Like abandoned cars, but for criminals instead of cops, and criminals do get paid for this

  • This silo is where criminals drop their allies vehicles, and the vehicle is teleported to the criminal vehicle garage, and the criminal who returned his ally’s vehicle gets a small pay for his service to his ally

    • The silo has no access to the base to prevent cops from being able to enter that way

    • The silo does not work for cops, if they drop a vehicle it will sit there and do nothing, after a minute the bottom will fill with lava and destroy the dud car and then the lava will recede (clear out) so that criminals can continue dropping their ally’s vehicles into it without blockage

  • If criminals drop a dud vehicle or a cop vehicle, the silo fills with lava over the vehicle and destroys the vehicle to make room for criminal vehicles that get dropped in

Impounding/Returning Vehicles/ ally spawning

• If you or your ally has their vehicle in your teams garage, the owner of the vehicle will spawn at the base

This heist is gray on police screens, unless alerted to a robbery there

When criminals rob this place, they do not auto alert the cops, instead they must sneak by NPC civilians and cops that guard the place, the civilian NPCs are workers working at the place and the Guards are… Guards

They must infiltrate the building(s) and loot the place and its vault. They store the loot in a criminal van. Once they’ve cleared the place they drive the criminal van to the collector and the collector empties it and all in the van get paid.

At the place there are cameras that must be dodged, and a guard in a cam room watching the cams. Criminals must eliminate that guard so that they don’t alert the place by being caught by cams. Silencers on guns allow them to shoot silently, without a silencer the whole place will alert.

Incentive for cops to flood to the alerted place is 1000 money bonus per criminal eliminated, 5000 per arrest, at the alerted base, more incentive: -25 money per second not at the alerted base

Cops can camp at the place but must patrol like the guards or lose 25 cash per minute, etc

• Patrol or camera watch or leave or lose 25 cash per minute when base not alerted

• Patrol:

  • Keep moving, normally in straight lines

  • Inspect things for marks or missing things or things that shouldn’t be there

    • Crates missing valuables

    • Vault seal, open or closed

    • Crate may have been tampered with, but not necessarily opened

    • Fence cut

    • Wires cut

    • Windows or lights broken

    • Camera broken

    • Camera wires cut

    • Camera painted to be visual blocked

    • ETC

• Or they can take over cam room and watch cams

• Camping cops get radios for calling in criminals, after seeing a criminal for 3 seconds far away, or the criminal is very close for imidiate call, they can call in the alert. If they are alerted they can call it in. Criminals will see alert status as a red exclamation above the head of a guard.

• Another way a cop can alert the place is by hitting a criminal with a bullet, the place will then alert. If the cop misses or hits nothing then they call it a false alarm. This is helpful for if the criminals are too sneaky, the cop can go to the criminal and blast them, alerting the place.

Criminals can mess with cameras

• Any version of disabling will make a NPC guard suspect and go examine the cam, the cam Guard calls them to inspect the cam…

  • Destroyed: NPC alerts, player cam guard will not know, player inspect alerts

    • Attack the cam

  • Painted: depending on paint and on NPC either alert or they won’t know and will eventually leave, and depending on cam guard the act of painting might alert him, it will alert a player cam guard, and player inspect will alert

    • Spray paint the cam’s lens

  • Wires cut: NPCs have no clue, player inspect alerts

    • Shoot the wires carefully or use wire cutters

    • Wire cutters is the safer way but needs you to be close

Criminals Can disguise as NPCs, by grabbing a disguise off of a fallen NPC. You can know NPC from player by erratic movements that NPC would not make that players would. If a player is skilled enough they can move just like an NPC and you will have to be almost face to face to begin alerting. Even if they pick up a cop outfit they can’t disguise, it has to be an NPC guard or NPC worker. There will also be a locker room with disguises, but it will be guarded and cammed.
