Glorbnob 260 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 So on SWRP there are keycards that are used to open restricted areas. A major issue i see with mayors being able to build is the fact that they have to share the keypad codes with PD. Meaning if someone switches off PD they can share the code with their friends and it could be rather difficult for staff to keep track of it. If there is a way to allow the mayor to place down Keycard readers instead of keypads and simply give all the PD classes a keycard I feel it would completely solve the issue. I am not a coder so i do not know if that is possible, but if it is i feel it can be rather helpful for both PD and staff. 5 1 3 Link to comment
Shin_Tsukimi 2,246 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Assuming this is possible and would not require any new add-ons (or nothing large at all) then yeah that sounds pretty cool, but I'd need further details on the addon or if it's custom made to make a fully informed decision on the matter. 1 1 1 Link to comment

It would require some configuration of course, but it might be a cool idea. 3 Link to comment
FlameSoul 287 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 If this is possible to implement it for sure would be helpful in keeping FailRP to a minimum. +1 1 Link to comment
Horse 351 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Wouldn’t this make it virtually impossible to raid pd tho? Link to comment

xFish 394 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 +1 mega plus 1 please add this if possibly. We've already had a problem in the past of people releasing their buddies then switching back to raiding classes because mayors were no longer allowed to build in pd. God I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE MAYOR NOW 1 Link to comment

What i am suggesting is making the keycards crackable. Like keypads. Only difference is it would be unlocked by a keycard given to all PD instead of a code Link to comment
Bizzy 192 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 This doesnt really need an addon. I can just make it so that mayor can use more buttons and the buttons are only usable by PD. No need for more downloads hehe 1 1 1 Link to comment
Glorbnob 260 Posted March 31, 2022 Topic Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 That would work. I didn't know you could make it so buttons can be PD only like that Link to comment
special 318 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) @Shin_TsukimiTo add on with more information on what is Billy's Keypads System. The cool part with it is you can perma keypads onto the map that can connect to map doors or props. Instead of doing a keypad code, you can simply tie it to what job they are on as that is what we do on CWRP. Basically, if they are on the mayor or any PD job then they have access to open the keypad (You can add player SteamIDs, jobs, job categories to have access to keypads). There is a keypad cracker that comes with Billy's Keypads. It is also very configurable in-game (editing/customizing keypads, placing keypads, perma keypads), and more. You can put health and armor on keypads too so players can damage a keypad in order to open it up or use the keypad cracker it comes with. The only thing that Garnet would do is adding the addon itself and the keycard item to each job. Also, comes with tools within the tool gun properties; there is a keypad configurator tool, keypad persistence tool (this is how you perma the keypads), admin tool (displays all information about a keypad), it's own fading door tool, and more. The only difference in my opinion with the default darkrp keypads and Billy's Keypad System is where Billy's Keypads has greater options for customization and accessibility. The addon itself isn't large to my knowledge, it works very great on CWRP. Edited March 31, 2022 by special 2 1 Link to comment
DarkRP Administration Team ChrisRid 900 Posted April 11, 2022 DarkRP Administration Team Share Posted April 11, 2022 Only just seen this and it's a brilliant idea! Whether it be the key cards or buttons, it makes sense 1 Link to comment
Hendersonyt 24 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) I have nothing but good experiences with Billy's key and love to have a keypad system for PD. +1 Edited May 11, 2022 by Hendersonyt Link to comment
stretchy 725 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Your suggestion has been Denied This is an unnecessary change. While supported since the mayor has been allowed to build again there hasn't been any real issues that would need this addon especially when there are solutions around this. Bizzy provided a solution he could do if the issue becomes major but for now I see no issues. Link to comment
