[SCRIPT] Police Computer
Lugnut:
i speak from experience when i say that ingame utilties (like computer database systems) in an rp are totally useless
wait wait, not done yet
i've played ss13 for a few years now and they have characters that run around on a space station
in that game they also have a very detailed health system, including medical records
one tiny problem
no one loving updates the medical records
it's horrible
it leaves it to like one guy who is one in five dozen rounds, and the stuff doesn't persist between rounds
however
blockland is not like that, it can have 'rounds' that last a lot longer, and... i dunno what else
however, you need an actual reason for this stuff to actually happen.
for that to happen, this script would need event and script based utility functions -
onActivate > Client > CheckDB [ Pilot's_License ] [ == ] [ Active ]
onDBCheckSuccess > Self > SpawnVehicle [ Stunt Plant ]
ta forgetin da now it forgetin works and is actually useful beyond "rp" that almost no one will use
take the event checks so you can make this database reflect changes ingame, and then have a REALLY loveY GUI
not like slayer lovey
i mean like IT LOOKS LIKE A COMPUTER OMG lovey - computer terminal for nerds, but a lovey gui for normal people
this mod could be good, but "just a db" isn't enough. just a db is pretty straightforward -
(code stuff)
based on settings on the computer, generate a default scriptobject
when a client joins, duplicate said scriptobject and attach to the player via reference
save clients state in text file
make a bunch of servercmds to modify the default and specific people
you're done with the base stuff
events are checks
gui would be difficult... but what if we did it in a browser?? a website the blockland server runs, allows a web interface to the "database"
those websites man, they can get REALLY loveY
yeah this went on too long, i've been writing stiff school papers and stuff so i had to break my return key again oh and i would take this on if it werent for the fact that i really can't work on it
Who Cares99:
You contradicted yourself twice so I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but I think I have an idea of what you mean. However, a database is all I need. I need this so that I can let people see certain info about others, and I don't have to remember it or be there to tell it to someone. Although I think you understand the uses, this can be used for things other than stuffty Blockland RPs. Some of these include the three good RPs, saving info for admins (this guy can be told the password, this one can have a car, this one is VIP), and any server specific info you need. I don't know if I would want a GUI, because it makes the mod need clients to download it and would make the mod take a lot longer to make.
TB2:
I support this. WhoCares' RP is well made and isn't full of RDMing handicaps. Would be useful.
