lords8n Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Forgive me if this has been brought up a zillion times ad-nausium. I searched for it and found nothing. Also I am fairly new to RP so I could be way off here... My thoughts are having the ability to build a police scanner that you can trigger for use only after a safe cracking has been started, or some other event, cannot trigger once a safe cracking, or some other event, has been in progress for a certain amount of time, and only lasts for a certain amount of time. The same person cannot activate multiple scanners during a cooldown time. The scanner would be a crudely constructed device requiring various materials, such as steel, batteries, springs, rusty screws, etc... |Scenario: Group enters store/bank with three of them having scanners. When a safe cracking has been initiated person one activates their scanner. This activates a scan of police and EMS frequencies that places their transmissions on the person's current radio channel, although quite degraded in quality. These frequencies are only monitored and cannot be transmitted on. After a set amount of time an electrical short circuit sound signifies the scanner has lived its useful life and stops working. At this point another player on that same radio channel (in the same robbery) activates another scanner, and it is activate because the safe cracking scanner time limit has not been reached. After the second scanner short circuits another player attempts to activate another scanner, but the safe cracking scanner timer has expired and the request is denied.  Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnknownRNGS Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 If possible, i like this idea. though i think it should only put you on the PD's radio channel, rather than revealing their locations. As for a timer, i believe the item should be quite short as being on PD comms can be pretty powerful. Probably limit it to 5-8 minutes, depending on how the item is properly obtained.

Randy Jones Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Would be kinda sick, make it a one use item for like five minutes maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind it would def. be a one use item, and for a very short duration, and only listen to comms, not be giving any map data. But you could have your five members chain them for an extended period that all together still wouldn't last through an entire safe cracking!
