Change - /outfit - Procedure

[zUgg zUgg]

Short description: Implement a cool down period when a player is changing clothes to prevent the rapid changing of outfits. 

Detailed description:  As the system currently sits players can freely change clothes on the fly simply by entering a property or going to the rear of an unlocked vehicle. When a player changes an outfit and confirms it the character should be immobilize for a set amount of time (10 seconds) to simulate the player taking off his/her clothes and changing them. This will reduce the amount of people rapidly changing outfits in an unrealistic manor.  

Commands to add: none

Items to add: none

How would your suggestion improve the server? This is one method to reduce the quick changing of outfits as many players do not properly RP this interaction. 

Additional information: I believe this should also apply to the police/swat with a longer cool down as they switch to tactical/swat gear. I've personally seen an officer disappear around a corner of a neighborhood to only re-appear with a completely different outfit or lack of uniform in mire minutes.

What if you're trying to find a specific outfit? I'm not waiting up to a maximum of 2 minutes to cycle through them all.

No... if someone does abuse it simply report em if you want to be petty. This feature is not needed.

This isn't really needed, I cycle through outfits quickly because I just forget which slot has what saved.

If people are abusing it, just report them ingame and an admin will go talk to them?

Same, I tend to forget what outfit is on which slot, so I cycle through them to find what I want, limiting this to every 2 minutes.. that's an issue.

I believe he's talking about when the menu closes. So you can do /outfit cycle through your clothes, but as soon as you close that menu you'll be given that immobilizing feature.

Uhh, I see no reason for this if you see people not roleplay their actions in a public area such as changing their clothes suddenly at the back of their trunk, simply report them?

Correct; the fact you should be able to view them is perfectly fine, i have 15 outfits myself! Once your selection is made you confirm it and have to wait.... think of it like buying gas where your car is immobilized for a brief period of time.

 

As to the suggestion of reporting players I recommended this as a features simply because it takes the need to report and tie up an admin out. In my book its a win win, less reports to the staff and it reduces unrealistic outfit spamming. 

 

I've adjusted the original post to be a bit more clear as well!
