Vehicle Description - /examine For Vehicles


Recommended Posts

COPIED WORD FOR WORD FROM THIS SUGGESTION:

 

Shoutout to @Rizanarfor the original idea, really wanted this to be implemented but his original thread was locked for no apparent reason sooooo...

 

"Short description: A simple description for your vehicle.

 

Detailed description: The same way you examine a person (ex: /examine Luka) except it can be used on a vehicle via the license plate (ex: /examine LAK325). After the command, you would get a text description of that character, but for the vehicle instead. You can write out your description for your car.
 

Example:
-
/vattributes The car's front headlights appear to be smashed in and no light coming from them, the car's windows are down and the inside would smell of weed.

/examine LAK325
The car's front headlights appear to be smashed in and no light coming from them, the car's windows are down and the inside would smell of weed.
-

Commands to add: 
/vehicle attributes (or /vattributes) [description]
/vattributes clear
/examine [license plate number]
 

(I am not saying that the commands have to be exactly what is listed, if you have a better idea than an license plate number for identifying a vehicle, then that's awesome! Maybe there would be some issues with the license plate number being the command with distance, but then again in my own opinion, you'd have to be close enough to the vehicle to see the details on it, though different details can be seen from further away, like you could tell that a car's headlights were out from quite far away, but not that there's a scratch on the door.)
 

Items to add: N/A
 

How would your suggestion improve the server?

I think this would help a lot with immersiveness without having to put a ton of coding and implementing (simple commands, copied from an already existing idea instead of attempting to perfectly sync vehicles or more complicated ideas/though I do think adding an license plate number thing might be more than "simple").
I have often wanted to RP in a better way, for example...
While my character was out driving around on a rough road, she busted her headlights. A police car rolls by, but doesn't pull her over nor even go in for a "check", they cannot tell if the headlights are out or not unless the driver does a /do within that time, but with this addition, they could make the choice to "check" the car and then pull them over.
I think it would encourage some interaction...

Character driving around with busted front headlights, this would be in the vehicles description, the police car can get within reasonable distance and use the command (/examine [license plate]) and see that the lights were out and therefore turn on their sirens and start RP from there.

I have also noticed many people who RP on GTAW enjoy vehicles, customizing them to their liking. They could use this to help make their vehicle more their "own", such as art or special paint jobs, maybe even adding "The exhaust sounds like a straight pipe". This could even add to mechanic RP. A person uses /attributes [character] with tattoos and then describes it even though it is not truly shown on their character. The same with a vehicle's paint could be described, it could also say if the windows were rolled up, cracked or fully down. If the vehicle is rusted or beautifully waxed.
 

Additional information: This is quite hard for me to post, I am very shy, I post this with all due respect, I would love to hear all of your input and thoughts on this idea, thank you."
