Vehicle Speed Limiter?

[Kewun]

I want to limit vehicle speeds, or if player drives too fast, he must pay a fine of $500

is there a possible way to do that? if so, how ?

[Stormeus]

Your best bet would be to check the player's speed on the client side and ping the server with a special packet when the player is going too fast. Trying to do this on the server side would be too CPU-intensive for a realtime system like a VC:MP server.

What you would do is check on every frame if:
1. The player is in a vehicle.
2. Their vehicle is going above a certain speed.

And when that happens, you send a stream to the server that then triggers a fine.

Bear in mind that you also need to determine what other conditions lead to a fine. Using this naive approach without any modification will trigger a $500 fine for every single frame that a player is driving overspeed, or $15,000 per second at 30fps. If you set a flag when the player goes over initially and set it to false when they're below the speed limit, they'd risk getting charged by accident for holding the W key down for just a little too long.

Personally I'm not sure this is something that is perfectly solvable by a script, and since I've mostly been involved with roleplay servers, I'd say this is an issue for someone roleplaying a police officer to handle.

;c cuz im doing a roleplay serv.. well, shit.. what about Vehicle.Speed function?

[Kewun]

or, saving the fine to ini ( worst way ), then adding a player wanted level + 1, if he is continously speeding, then just cancel if he has a fine already
thats the worst wayi trought

You will probably lag the server.

You will definitely lag the server.

Maybe, Just maybe if you could get the handling data similar to Theremins code in [LU] you might have something.

anything above whatever your speed limits are just fine them. but other than that possibility no clue man.

@Stormeus might have a good response for that,

[Stormeus]

If you're comfortable with reconfiguring handling and don't need a system for fining people like you suggested, yes, you could just use VC:MP's vehicle handling functions to throttle everyone's top speed.

[Kewun]

hmm.. maybe maybe.

Is there any Vehicle.Gear function ? or i will have to mod handling in server
i wanted to add gears up, down ;c

[aXXo]

It is possible to add gears using vehicle handling.
Get vehicle's top speed by reading handling data. Divide it by 5 to split it into 5 numbers.
Add gears to keybinds. When player notches up a gear, increase vehicle's top speed. On going down a gear, decrease the top speed.

[Kewun]

But it will also set it for other players ;c

else if (cmd == "gear")

player.Vehicle.SetHandlingData(13,350)

player.Vehicle.SetHandlingData(13,100)

}
else if (text=="1")
{
player.Vehicle.SetHandlingData(13,50)
MessagePlayer("[#00ff00]You changed your vehicle gear to 1", player);
}
}

somehow i made it eh

+ bind keys

function onScriptLoad()
{
gear1 <- BindKey(true, 0x31,0,0)
gear2 <- BindKey(true, 0x32,0,0)
gear3 <- BindKey(true, 0x33,0,0)
gear4 <- BindKey(true, 0x34,0,0)
gear5 <- BindKey(true, 0x35,0,0)
gear6 <- BindKey(true, 0x36,0,0)
gear7 <- BindKey(true, 0x37,0,0)
}
function onKeyDown(player,key)
{
if ( key == gear1 )
{
onPlayerCommand(player,"gear","1")
}
if ( key == gear2 )
{
onPlayerCommand(player,"gear","2")
}
if ( key == gear3)
{
onPlayerCommand(player,"gear","3")
}
if ( key == gear4 )

onPlayerCommand(player,"gear","4")

onPlayerCommand(player,"gear","5")

onPlayerCommand(player,"gear","6")

if ( key == gear7 )

onPlayerCommand(player,"gear","7")
}
}

That's shit, why would you need to make a command though?
Just put them inside the if conditions :p

[Kewun]

put it then.  i only posted a example how it would look like

[Kewun]

and i found bug in bind keys
if you have numbers in your password in login or register, for example, if u write /login 123456, the bindkeys will be executed after you press enter
