Midnight Club Racing System Idea for modern servers
This idea was presented to another server but sadly the idea was ignored so I am posting it for all to see and us if you like the idea. If you don't like the idea..well don't use it.
Midnight Club Racing System -
Being that Era has a decent sized city with plenty of turns and buildings, racing would work great in this environment. The general idea of this is to have players race and have fun but at the same time earn something out of racing. Not only will this encourage players to buy vehicles/fuel it will also give them something to do.
Initiating a race – In order to start a race a player must flash their headlights at another occupied vehicle (note races can only take place at night between 1200 Am – 6Am). Once this happens and the other player accepts by flashing their headlight back the race will then be imitated and a racing display screen will pop-up. One this display screen players will be able to view who has entered the race, now if a player has purchased a Underground Racing Radio and is in their vehicle when a race is imitated then they will get invited to the race. (only 6 people can be in a race at a time).
Being a racer or a viewer - If you are a racer you can bet on the race and obviously you would bet on yourself. As a viewer you can not only watch the race but also bet on racers, if the racer you bet on wins you will get some of the money. The rest of the prize money will go to the winner of the race.
Cops - Now I know that cops was introduced in Era quite some time ago. The advantage of have cops will always give players something to do. Who doesn’t love a cop chase or to hunt cops, now cops shouldn’t be over powered with weapons . Now maybe introducing some melee moved, handcuffs, and a standard pistol would work, but I suppose that can be explained later. When a race is imitated and has started it is up to the cops to stop the racers. How can cops stop the racers? Each cop car will come equipped with a emp that can last for 5 seconds. In order to bust the player the cops will have to RAM their car until the players vehicles health is down to 0 and the car stops working.
Getting rid of cops in a race – In order to disable a cops vehicle the player will have to ram them until their cars health is at 0. Now if you want to get a little crazy you can add add-ons for players vehicle’s that will only work when they are racing. For instance let’s throw a emp disabler on someone’s vehicle. This will allow them to disable the pursuing cops emp for 10 seconds.
Checkpoint System – If you have ever played midnight club or generally any racing game you will know they use a check point system. If you want you can have one racing type (a circuit race) or you can have several different types. When a race starts red or whatever color you choose) checkpoints will display on the minimap and on the players screen s they hit one checkpoint another checkpoint will show up. The last checkpoint should be the finish line and if you want to be classic you can do the checkered black and white finish line. |
