/setdirtlevel - Allow Players to Choose Their Vehicles "Cleanliness."

[Liam_Airey]

Short description: Add the option and allow players to set their vehicles "dirt level"

 

Detailed description: I think something vehicle customisation at the moment lacks (apart from the obvious suggestions made before) is the ability to select the "dirt level" of the paint-job and I'd love to see a system implemented that allows players to set their dirt level on the spot with a command akin to /hat on/off (instant change, no need for a mechanic, etc).

 

I also would mind if the "dirt level" was only a choice between the highest one possible and nothing, if it made the suggestion less of a pain in the ass to setup.

 

Commands to add: /setdirtlevel (1,2,3,4) /dirtlevel /vehicledirt on/off

 

Items to add: N/A

 

How would your suggestion improve the server?: More customisation is always welcome and the suggestion would allow players to present their character and vehicles more accurately, allowing for a more immersive roleplay environment. 

 

Additional information: If you're not too sure what I'm talking about, i'll post a few screenshots of side-by-side before and after comparisons below.

 

(all the vehicles are vanilla GTA, the only vehicle not available on the server is the rat-truck, the very bottom picture, which I feel SHOULD be implemented but that should be saved for another suggestion)

While I think this is a great idea and do support it as it adds variation, I would personally like to see this taken one step further. 

 

Whether or not my way is possible script or sync wise, I would love to see our vehicle's "cleanliness" progress as we drive our vehicles. The more we drive, the more dirty the vehicle becomes and as such will require a car wash to keep our vehicles clean and good looking. Same way as our fuel is being depleted when we drive a certain distance, the cleanliness of our vehicles should too deteriorate if its not possible to add a dynamic feature like the car getting more dirty when driving on gravel roads etc.

 

The general idea however is great, another thing that I feel would add additional depth to vehicle ownership.

I'm pretty sure this idea is already implemented as the car does become more dirty driving on dirt and apparently the dirt level has been synced for a long time. Except people don't get their car washed, they just /vpark and /vget because there's no incentive to pay for a wash

As far as I know, anything like that on your vehicle is clientside, either that or it only appears to people who were witnessing it get dirty. Same with vehicle damage from what I've noticed.

[Arnzeal]

I am well aware the car gets dirty when you drive on dirt roads. What I would hope is that other people can see that too, the same way I see it. And as brought up, when using /vpark the vehicle is restored to 100% clean and repaired. I think this should be changed where the dirty on the car remains, and so does the damages.

 

But that is yet again another sync challenge to overcome.

I would love this however due to rage sync it's not a possibility at this time.

Would the /setdirtlevel be possible until we're able to do what Arnzeal is suggesting?

Some cars have dirt by default and vpark just makes it appear after it washed.

I swear I saw a changelog one time that said something along the lines of dirt level being synced, sorry for the misinformation.

Would love to have it. But as he said :
