Title: [Arran/Brian] Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Vampire on 23 10, 2020, 03:56:52 am: Basically, MPCC is used by most of the cops nowadays to reach or to comeback faster to an AR/CE or whatever, but sometimes people deploy their MPCC and suddenly go AFK, and the spawn still there.
It's really annoying when you misclick or just spawn at his MPCC thinking it was placed properly, but it leads you to nowhere, making you waste time/money to warp again and as you know, you can't warp to an MPCC again for 2 minutes, so disabling the MPCC respawn if a player is AFK should solve this recurring problem.

Which criteria your suggestion meets: Reduce inconvenience.

Post by: Diamond on 23 10, 2020, 06:01:15 am: It won't solve the problem 100% as you never know if they are AFK or just playing around while their MPCC truck is deployed. Therefore, there could be another decent solution, I would like to hear that from the community members.

Post by: Zeky on 23 10, 2020, 06:41:48 am: Well seeing as that's the case, how about if the AR/CE has ended the MPCC won't show on the map. As you may know, there is a script which only allows you to deploy an MPCC outside of the 40-meter range of an AR, and clearly, that script works to detect if there is an AR active nearby, so therefore why not make it where if the script does not detect an AR nearby it will simply de-activate the MPCC spawn off the map to prevent wasting time and money as you stated? Not sure how efficient this could be however this is an idea I have come up with in regard to this issue, I'd like to hear your feedback/input and maybe we can add the same features but to CEs as well so it works hand in hand.

Post by: Ahmed? on 23 10, 2020, 08:26:27 am: Actually, I am thinking that if the game goes AFK, publishing of his car is stopped and so it has been permanently disabled and that is because it is very bad and the new players do not know how to use it and use it in a very bad way I am positive
Title: Re: Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Pyxtro on 23 10, 2020, 11:55:19 am: I agree with this suggestion. I also experienced this situation a lot. There may be players who leave the MPCC truck available. And a really missclick can be a serious waste of time. It is obvious that AFK people do this unwillingly and I think this should be prevented somehow. Positive :tick:

Post by: Arcanus on 23 10, 2020, 02:17:56 pm: This has happened to me many times, for example you are in an AR and you try to respaw in the MPCC that appears and the MPCC is in the previous AR or elsewhere, nothing to do since this afk the MPCC player this would help greatly I amPositive :tick:

I agree with what Diamond said. I can deploy my MPCC truck at CEs and go to AFK because I am doing something or I have a network problem and can't fight, but I want to help the cops. In this case, the script will toggle off my MPCC, even though, I am helping and the CEs can be running for more than 15 minutes.
In my opinion, the only solution for this is you toggle off the MPCC truck if there isn't a wanted criminal in X distance from the MPCC truck. The purpose of the MPCC truck is to gather the cops to kill the criminals in the X area; no wanted criminals = no need for the MPCC truck.
Title: Re: Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Maximo on 23 10, 2020, 08:09:58 pm: Well, maybe the player spawned his MPCC truck in previous AR, and went AFK. And let his MPCC Truck's spawn toggle on. So another cop will find out his MPCC Truck and spawn on it, he thought his MPCC Truck is actually near heist or riot or anything. As you mentioned this may cause a waste of time, money of teleporting.. Plus, this is increasing inconvenience to the players in some way. In my opinion, this should be fixed. And it soluation is this suggestion. Once the player be AFK his MPCC spawn will be automaticly toggle off. With it, the other cops won't face the problems I mentioned, and reduce inconvenience to the community . So yeah, this useful. I am voting Positive.
Title: Re: Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Ths on 24 10, 2020, 05:43:09 am: as far as I know, we have already a button to toggle on/off spawner for MPCC when are you going to spawn it? Correct me If I'm wrong let's go back to the main topic the problem won't solve the problem. anyway since MPCC can be used especially for training or activities for the law side and the owner is AFK for still gathering his member so the problem is still in there.

There's a check to see if plr is really AFK.
Title: Re: Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Hanns on 24 10, 2020, 04:53:36 pm: Yeah, I am with you. The current system is increasing the inconvenience as it's annoying as sometimes some players toggle their MPCC truck on at a random position, And the player think that the truck is deployed near the CE or AR, so he use the transport and get into it, But unfortunately, he didn't reach the place he's looking for, So the MPCC should really be disabled if the guy who spawned it went afk.

A message should be sent to the player to warn him, The message should contain "You are afk, 2 minutes left until we hide your MPCC" or whatever, So at least he receive a notification , And maybe he spawn it and the corrent position. I am upvoting.

Post by: GaMeFeR on 24 10, 2020, 06:13:05 pm: Greetings

I'm not in law side but ok this is a great idea to solve, since if the player is AFK and deployed his MPCC in a previous AR or CE a police will spawn on it and thinked he was about to teleport to the current AR | CE Since this could be a good idea my vote will be Positive.

If they are playing around, they will probably spawn other vehicles and therefore their MPCC will be replacedor if they are patrolling with someone else then it will be hidden if far from them. The main issue is idle/afk players that didn't hide/disabled MPCC spawn and this should fix it.

Post by: Jaguar. on 31 10, 2020, 02:09:24 am: It truly is pretty annoying to respawn in an AFK player's MPCC that is far away from Armed Robbery. This suggestion might fix this issue, so I am voting positive.
Title: Re: [Arran/Brian] Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: wldali', on 31 10, 2020, 06:00:56 pm: as you said we mus't, add automatic for players, who is spawned their MPCC and going afk, that thing happened to me many times, when owners MPCC was afk, making me waste time/money to warp so, we should warp to an MPCC again for 2 minutes, so disabling the MPCC respawn if a player is AFK should solve this recurring problem.
Positive
Title: Re: [Arran/Brian] Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: BlackBear on 01 11, 2020, 09:41:05 pm: there is one thing which will be affected by that which is CE's MPCC truck*. if you're familiar with the CEs then this should be known for you. in short words, someone sacrifices with their CE attendance to keep a MPCC truck near the CE entrance**. to be honest, this would be the only useful thing MPCC does so having this removed will leave the MPCC with nothing.

*that doesn't happen for CEs only but for JFM too.
**the cops who are responsible for this become mostly AFK.

Post by: Resko. on 04 11, 2020, 08:11:36 pm: I had this issue a couple time and always is anoying and a waste of time. The main issue are the AFK players, so this suggestion is the best first step. positive :tick:
Title: Re: [Arran/Brian] Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Emre on 05 11, 2020, 09:26:50 pm: Well as you know if you move far away your car gets hiden. We can use this script with a closer range since people place them neae ar so 100 meters is enough or 150. And plus if they go afk the Truck will be disabled the combination of these two can solve the problem in my opinion. Positive ans consider adding the first thing I said. :tick:
Title: Re: [Arran/Brian] Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Nepenthe on 05 11, 2020, 09:37:26 pm: Disablingthe afk players trucks is a must since it's ver annoying for everyone. I support this suggestion and the thing Emre said could work. He got somr points cause law generaly deploys them on ar roofs which is close to the fight zone. So that can work without annoying people. y votr is positive and I really support this cause of the suffer I experinced which I had to drive 2k miles. POSITIVE :tick:
Title: Re: [Arran/Brian] Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Avices on 05 11, 2020, 09:39:26 pm: I get annoyed fighting in AR and die and it does MPCC Truck on board there are many times I have teleported somewhere else when that guy is AFK and so turning off teleport when AFK will be useful for police officer, so I vote Positive
Title: Re: [Arran/Brian] Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: DraGo on 07 11, 2020, 09:34:47 pm: Hey, Your suggestion makes sense because many cops are messing with the MPCC system by letting their trucks in the streets and going AFK.And this disturbs many cops.I'm supporting your idea. Positive

Post by: wetto on 09 11, 2020, 09:24:05 pm: My vote is positive.
- There are lot's of cases about this. And this can end them right away.
- Teleporting to a MPCC is only 1 click and with that 1 click you can spawn in an other ar/ce because of afks.
-This will solve it in my opinion and it is a very simple and little implement.
Again, My vote is positive. :tick:
Title: Re: [Arran/Brian] Automatically toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK
Post by: Waltz on 10 11, 2020, 06:22:00 am: Today I worked as law for 2 3 hours and sometimes I accidently spawned in to a MPCC which was in Muholland Intersection recovery area. I know that isn't related to this idea but even with this system this issue will countinue. My vote is positive because even if this can't solve the problem fully, it can solve a side of it which will be usefull for lot's of law side players. And sometimes people really get mad when they spawn in other ar place because of this. My vote is positive.:tick:

Why not just suggest to see the area name the MPCC is in which would surely help with this "problem" more than "toggle off MPCC spawn when AFK"?

Brian mentioned (https://cit.gg/index.php?topic=367466.msg5384668#msg5384668) there's a check to see if a player is really AFK, so I guess you can use it to determine because they don't always use /afk.

You can already see the MPCC location when you press 1, but it isn't that accurate. For example, the current AR is in Magneto Villa, but if you place your MPCC near North Rock Hut AR (and keep the spawn there), it will tell it's in Red County, and Magneto Villa is also located in Red County but both locations aren't that close, so cops will think it was placed for the current AR, while it wasn't. The same happens if you place your MPCC in Ghost Town (it will tell you it's in Red County).

This will surely be a problem if you don't have VIP hours, for example. So you will need to walk all the way to the AR or kill yourself to spawn at a hospital so you can use the recovery pad.

Already exists

A staff added that shortly after a cop placed his MPCC right above a cliff sending cops into death and the punishment appeal process decided that recovering the vehicle is "enough" to deal with that offence (https://cit.gg/index.php?topic=358274.0)

Also simply turning off MPCC for "afk" people doesnt automatically come without new problems, some cops like me for example place MPCCs near JFM for example and then have to go "AFK" because if we enter JFM our MPCC despawns so there is nothing to do other than standing around AFK there and I think creating inconvenience to the people who are "sacrificing" themselves for that is not helpful

And spawning at useless MPCCs is really really rare, usually these MPCCs are rather by some random cops who are placing them while being active, such as random cops placing them at their roadblocks in the middle of nowhere, or also total newbies who are driving around with the MPCC because it looks cool to them, not even being aware of the respawn function

There could be an exception to MPCC if the cop who spawned it enters JFM/SMW. This isn't a 'new' problem.
If it's something that bothers you and other people, you are free to suggest a change to it so you don't need to sacrifice your gameplay to help other people.
