Spawn Area

[Gaz]

As many LS-RP people know, the spawn on the SAMP server was the airport. The airport is a solid 5-10 minute run/walk into the city where any sort of RP might be. While there are frequently taxis available during peak hours, these taxis may dwindle to near none. There's no real beneficial reason to have the spawn all the way at the airport.

 

Does the staff have an idea for where the spawn may be for LSRP-V? Or how spawning will work in general? Will it work similarly to SAMP's, where you spawn at a 'default' location, unless you own/rent a home or are in a faction?

 

I think it'd be neat to have a few select areas for spawn, though that does leave room for abuse for one to log in/out and hop spawn areas.

Spawning at one of the train stations would be nice.

 

Also, if there are multiple spawn points I think that there should be a timer that prevents people from abusing the spawn points.

The timer would be for example 5 minutes and if a player logs out and then immediately logs back in they will spawn at the location were they logged out. This would be one way of combating the spawn abuse if it becomes an issue.

It should be one spawn to prevent abuse, but I do agree that the airport is over used. Make it somewhere else, hoping myself that the staff team really thought of this.

Would also be useful for game crashes/server restarts and the like.

First spawn maybe at the airport? Afterwards either where you logged off at, or a motel would make sense to me. Nobody wants to run 5-10 minutes to get into the city from the airport, if there isn’t s taxi, or a rental car available.

I strongly disagree with the airport. The airport isn't nearly as far away in V as it is in SA but it's still far enough away. And it can be discouraging especially to new players if there's nobody around except you and you're stuck at an airport and you can't find anything to do.

I'm sure that the staff team will implement a way to get into town in less then 5 minutes from the moment you spawn, but even if they don't, you can run from the airport straight to davis pretty quick

And taxi drivers gonna fight over clients etc..

Very good point, running from the airport used to be so jarring... Especially when you'd get caught for bunnyhopping lmfao. 

 

I agree with the person who suggested the train station.

have two motels on opposite sides of the city and let players choose between them. make it so they have to visit the other motel and /setspawn to change.

 

then spruce up these locations to invite roleplay

Agreed. I did some searching and think the following locations are suitable.

I think there's a suitable amount of space between the three of them and are in fairly good areas.
