Vehicle "Line" System

[P_Doughboy]

In project reality, there needs to be some kind of system or add-on program in which you can Queue yourself to get into a vehicle (i.e. standing in line). Maybe the parameters of standing in "line" for a vehicle could be set by the server, such as 30 minutes max in a vehicle (and have a timer viewable to the driver).

This would make vehicle operation (especially flying) available to not just one set of people (i.e. admins, clan members) so that the frustration of having just one person drive/fly the entire round and next rounds will be eliminated.

Also, the server should be able to add/modify rules in this add-on such as, if you crash a vehicle, you cannot drive/fly that vehicle for the remaining round...stuff like that...This would be a fantastic addition to project reality, as we all know, unofficial server vehicle rules usually dont work out for everyone.

I am just giving you an idea to make PR more fun, real, and fair. Thank You, P_Doughboy

umm...How is a line realistic? The easiest what to get your particular vehicle is to name your squad after the asset. I don't know any server that doesn't kick people for taking assets from a named squad.

I see where you're coming from, and as much as this would relieve people of their ''frustration'', much of what you're suggesting is hardcoded/hard to implement.

As for asset squads ... Well there are those people that will be douches and not let anyone else than their buddies come in. However, good asset squads will invite people that ask for it politely, for at least, I do.

i play mainly as inf only and love it, because it stop these sorts of problems- although i do agree something needs to e done. How many times have you been kicked for the 'squad bug' when you join at 1:20 left? if you wish to fly, then create or join a fly sqaud/ just like armour. i have been in servers and jumped into an APC/AFV before now and been kicked because the sqaud name did not dictate that (and in my honest opinion- i totally agree with it. On some maps, there are enough heli's and armour to share. If you want to fly- join the BRYLCREAM BOYS, if you want to drive armour then join the ARMOUR CLUB.

I think the people are trained for a specific vehicle, Which in PR, everyone is trained for everything..

I dont think a waiting system would work

What? If you're talking about reserving a vehicle because you were there first or something similar:

Resuggestion,

Please use the Search Function and the *** List before posting suggestions.

If you're talking about you get the vehicle for a set amount of time then someone else gets a turn, that hasn't. Never before has something so... wrong been suggested.

I think it's up to the server admins to decide.

[Hitman.2.5]

i know of plenty of servers that use a first come first server policy as in who ever gets in has that asset that rules sucks as it causes TK's

TG doesn't, and with good reason; Most TG players are civil enough that they never "steal" vehicles, and if somebody does, it's a "more power to them" situation unless a commander is there to assign it. It works well; it means that occasionally someone is frustrated because some noob squandered a tank, but it means that no elitist squad can create an absolute monopoly on assets.

I think it would create more problems than it would solve tbh. Aircraft are so scarce in PR that there is so much competition, but simple respect and more or less whoever gets in first is all thats needed.

DDUDE you fail yet agin another person has fallen into the trap of this is soley a public server game and will never be played by ppl with decency teamwork or general politeness it is just courtesy to get in vehicle after the first ppl and also lines wud suk all issues like this gotta be resolved by mumble or voip or general admin talks ok man this is totally unessesary, sorry on spells

Yes, it's a resuggestion, but what if people want to further discuss this subject? Is there an original thread to post in?

Also, has this been looked into or tried? I think there should be testing every once in a while to try to get some stuff like this in the game. Like fastropes. >.>

Haha, but yeah, I'm all for a line for vehicles, would be great and completely fair. Right now there's way too much vehikal drama.

I don't think it would be that hard, can't you just make a fence around the runway and helipads and have a custom 3 seat vehicle where the first seat lets you exit on the left side and the other 2 exit on the right side of the vehicle? Have that vehicle right in the middle of the fence right next to each aircraft. That may not work at all for some reason (I don't see why) but it's worth a try.

NO europe servers have this rule,except T&T and UKWF.Its prone to abuse and imo and it works only in TG decently.

We see a squads named CAS and locked.
Than SL invites his buddies only,then they take turn in using teams assets for the whole 2 hours,regardless of their skill.

What if i create a squad named "everything",am i not entitled to get everything i want because i was the first to crate it?

What if i crate a squad named air,and another crates cas and another transport and another fighter and another bomber?Who'll get what and who'll decide?

What if i joined the server 10 seconds after round start and every asset and kit is taken by designated squads?

What if i suck as a pilot,but SL Transport squad ?DO i keep flying although i am sucking.

Finally,sometimes an a-10 or a LB in an armor or inf. squad are pretty useful.

OT:Nothing can solve this issue,except common courtesy and overall maturity of players.Some idiot wasting assets in a locked squad,you steal his asset for better use,someone in a squad waiting inl ine for something,you dont interfere,someone asks something nicely you give your line to him etc.

I find the system works better on a 1st come 1st serve basis unless admins decide which sqd will make better use of an asset.

For example; take 2 people waiting for a a10. One on his own in a sqd, one in a sqd with a spotter and the f-16 pilot. The asset should go to the latter.

Also what if two sqds have the same name? First person to make sqd with correct name gets the asset? I find that this just encourages people to make sqds early and risk a sqd bug.

On servers with these sqd name rules I just name my sqd 'all assets' that way nobody can take anything HAHA (ofc its just a joke, I dont really try and take all the assets)

+ Kruder has said it all.

TG only server that seems to be able to hold the sqd name rule. Although they do have other ridiculous rules but thats neither here nor there.
