Peruvian Flake Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Detailed Description I don't know if it was already planned but it's a thought I had, some people may not like it. I was thinking that we could get trash objects in the dumpsters, and like a system with empty bottles or cans that homeless can pick up and sell at a 24/7 for like a 1$. Relevant Commands/Items Just the Dumpster script but add random objects. How will it benefit the server? I think it can promote the homeless scene without giving them a financial benefit. It gives them something to do and gives more interaction with 24/7 stores. I can go more deeper and suggest that 24/7s could sell the empty bottles to garbage job and they could make recycling parts that can then make other object but that's just to add to the first idea. 2 Link to comment
Woozyarth Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 As I am roleplaying as a homeless character now, I see that giving the homeless RPers the ability to find empty cans or bottles will be a good addition to the RP because in real life the homeless people always have way they can make money, like for example the most known method that homeless people use is they take all the empty cans, and then goes to some place and recycle the cans and help them to make some metal scrap that they can sell to some shops. Also, why can't you guys add a script that can be used by homeless to recycle the cans and water bottles and then they take an actual scriptwise aluminum brick and go to a shop and sell it for some profit or they can sell it to actual pawn shops and make some good reasonable money from it. 2 Link to comment

Jacooob Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This suggestion already exists. +1 from me though 1 Link to comment
Diamond Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This suggestion already exists like said above, but I like the idea of including items such as empty bottles that can be sold to stores for money. It would boost the homeless RP even further. +1 from me 1 Link to comment
F34 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 +1 finding and selling empty bottles sounds good for homeless RP 1 Link to comment
Developer 808Masterus Posted August 11, 2023 Developer Share Posted August 11, 2023 Added for next update @Peruvian Flake. Random worthless goods, food and notes will get generated in dumpsters every server restart. There is a really small chance for the item generation to start (around 30% per dumpster) and the item quantity is small (not more than 4 per instance). 4 1 Link to comment
