GTA MZANSI ONLINE: KVRP

 

We’re excited to share a significant script update within the Police Department that will enhance the experience for everyone on the server!

Previous System Flaws

In the past, the arrest process had some flaws that led to unfair outcomes. Here’s how it worked:

1. The officer would take the suspect to an arrest point.
2. The officer would then type commands to charge the suspect, such as:
   • /charge Julius robbery
   • /charge Julius murder
3. Finally, the officer would type /arrest Julius, calculating the total jail time based on the number of charges.

For example, if Julius had two charges against him, he would receive:

• 2 charges x 10 minutes = 20 minutes in jail

However, this system led to imbalances. A player like Jordan could face significantly longer jail time for relatively minor offenses. For instance, if Jordan was charged with multiple lesser offenses:

• /charge Jordan illegal substances
• /charge Jordan illegal materials
• /charge Jordan unmarked money
• /charge Jordan illegal weapon
• /charge Jordan speeding

Jordan would end up with:

• 5 charges x 10 minutes = 50 minutes in jail

In this scenario, Julius, who committed serious crimes like robbery and murder, would only receive 20 minutes, while Jordan, with lesser offenses, would face 50 minutes. Clearly, this was an unfair system.

New and Improved Charging System

With the recent update, we’ve revamped the charging process to create a more balanced and equitable justice system for all players. Here’s what has changed:

• When an officer attempts to /charge an individual, a dialogue box will now appear, displaying a list of predefined charges.
• Each charge will be associated with a specific amount of jail time based on the severity of the offense.
• The officer can select the appropriate charges, and the corresponding jail time will be automatically added to the suspect's sentence.

Fair and Balanced Punishments

This update ensures that punishments are determined by the severity of the crimes committed rather than the quantity of charges. Serious offenses, like robbery and murder, will result in substantial jail time, while lesser crimes will receive appropriate penalties. This approach reflects a fairer and more just system for everyone involved.

We appreciate your ongoing support as we work to improve the gameplay experience in GTAM. Stay tuned for more updates!
