Lojack?
Since everyone hates it when their house-car locks fail and someone drives their car around for hours.. how about the ability to buy Lojack as another housecar upgrade similar to locks. It would be expensive.. 400-500k? more? But it could either give you a constant beacon on be a command similar to find.

Re: Lojack?
It might be possible to copy the taxi/news/LSPD/FBI code that kicks people out of those vehicles. Don't know how it could be coded on an individual basis though.

Re: Lojack?
While I think it's a great idea, is should probably be police only. Like if someone get's their housecar jacked, the owner can /lojack which would place an automatic 911 call and a red blip on the police's radar screen.
The idea of a civilian being able to track down their housecar which is being stolen sounds like it would open a door for rounds of DM-ing.

Always remember the 3 B's of law enforcement:
1. Be professional
2. Be polite
3. Be ready to kill everyone you meet.

This is an excellent idea, as long as there's a warning given when you enter someone's housecar.Keegan_Russo wrote:While I think it's a great idea, is should probably be police only.

Re: Lojack?
What if the red blip showed up and he drove to his house to get his housecar that also has LoJack? Sounds like a bug will come.

Re: Lojack?
I like Keegan's idea the most. My car get stolen every damn time i leave it outside of my house.I have remote lock and some people (civilians) still manage to get in the car when it's locked.
Hope Vince gets that ring in Dallas.
Re: Lojack?
The best invention ever was /towcar.
It gives you the ability to have your car spawn back on your driveway, it costs like $1000 everytime and it doesn't work if someone is in your car, so this way you know someone is out there driving it or not instead of just sitting lost in SF after a crazy night at Misty's.

I think it was removed because it was being abused, caused EPP errors, and started not working after a while.TaCo wrote:The best invention ever was /towcar.

Re: Lojack?
People would continuously do /towcar in order to kill people who stole their car. Some people also used it to do teleport matruns.Samiam22 wrote:How does one abuse /towcar?

Re: Lojack?
That sounds like /callcar Ando. /towcar wouldn't work if someone was driving it, so you really couldn't kill the jacker. But /callcar was always abused in the way you mentioned.

Re: Lojack?
Yeah when you do /towcar and someone is in it... a thing pops up and says "Car is in use"
I think people are getting mistaken with /callcar which is tons of fun... you buy a cop car from a car dealer and you wait until there is a car load of cops and do /callcar on top of a tower or in the middle of the ocean and watch little piggys fly or swim... but yeah those days are over...
