54nDR0 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I feel like this is completely unnecessary. I will say the same like many others "Learn routes, don't create them through script". Link to comment
Tseard Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Nay, there are other, more roleplay friendly, ways to do this. Link to comment
Paenymion Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 I think this suggestion has been shot down rather hastily. The OP didn't suggest it'd be used for illegal street races (although ofc it could). Everyone seems to have jumped to that conclusion? What about legal races like at dirt tracks for offroaders etc? I have been to a few of these events and it pretty much always turns into just a random mess of people going everywhere. It's a good example of an RP activity that WOULD benefit from support of the script (and isn't that really what the script is for?). Scripting the track would help to hold an actual race, where people pass through checkpoints and there is ultimately a winner that can't be disputed by "I was first on my screen" etc. Basically the script brings some order to racing events rather than it being a big mess of opinion and desync.

MostCreative Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (edited) It seems like a nice idea on paper, but it seems more of an RPG based suggestion rather than role-play. If you want to schedule a race, you should go through the hassle of scheduling it in-character. Edited January 7, 2021 by MostCreative Link to comment

Cocaine Capital Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yea, this is just not needed. It just adds an element to the game to make it more arcadey. Link to comment
Pandamei Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 As a dude that's been racing on this server for years, this is utterly useless and Anti-RP. Your main argument I've seen for this is "modern gps" when in reality most cars you see racing down even have GPS so your argument falls apart there. Simply just learn routes through an IC manner and you'll be fine, just like how it is in real life. This isn't Fast and Furious 4 or NFS where they pre-load routes onto a GPS, there is no GPS that will layout a circuit type track out for you. Simply put, it will make racing more of an arcadey experience and not a realistic one. GPS's aren't installed in a lot of cars that are out doing runs and a GPS wouldn't be able to calculate out a proper course like that. This just ain't it bro. Link to comment
Moe Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Very unnecessary and non-RP. You can set up races through roleplay means without it turning into GTA:O. Link to comment
