Cars Getting Towed
 
so unrealistic.
ok so, i'm dying, rapidly. i have 9 health left and i'm on my way to the hospital- i have no time to park in a designated parking space, so i park near the door, i run in JUST in time to get in a hospital bed, and my car is towed.
on my way back to get my car, i'm killed again.
so i'm warped to the hospital, i finally get back to the junkyard to get my car, and i'm in a rush to pick up someone, and i have to stop at the ammo store in unstick me. so i get there, and of course being in a rush, i park near the door. the second i get out of my car it's towed.

era should actually have a tow-er. they'd get a special truck that looks like a tow truck, that could tow more than one car at a time so that it would be more convenient. this towing script is a *****.

Last time I checked it takes arround 5-10 minutes before the car actually gets towed, unless a GP or someone with a staff stick tows it, So your saying that it takes you 5 minutes to go into the weapon shop and buy a couple of ammo boxes and go out?

:[ your slow.

Crow 02-01-2009 04:21 PM

I think it's 15 minutes until it gets towed automatically, and that's only at unstick me. Other than that, only staff members can tow cars.

O.o thats wierd.

Crow 02-01-2009 04:27 PM

Indeed! :D

Elizabeth 02-01-2009 04:27 PM

it's happened to me more than once.

Crow 02-01-2009 04:29 PM

Just checked the car script, no idea why something like this would happen.

Elizabeth 02-01-2009 04:31 PM

i have no clue either, lol

Crono 02-01-2009 04:32 PM

The 15min rule sounds like desperation to me.

Only applies to forbidden-parking zones, which is currently only unstick me.

Erik towed my car right when I showed him people were getting into the hotel using it to drive over the blocks.

Who the **** is Erik.

Crono 02-01-2009 06:59 PM

I would play Era if I could work for a tow truck company and actually tow people's cars.

Incorporate a "player-staff" business to act as tow truck drivers. 10 people, in tow trucks, that receive alerts when a car has remained stationary outside of a parking zone for more than whatever. They have to physically tow it. They are not allowed to check whose car it is. The tow truck does not do damage when running people over, nor do they take damage in the tow truck. Tow truck drivers are fired and jailed if they fail to tow vehicles (malpractice).

I just want to drive a tow truck on Era, ok?

papajchris 02-01-2009 08:07 PM

Elizabeth, you are a horrible parker :P, and even when there are parking spaces you refuse to use them. At unstick me theres always 3 open spots left of ammo store (Right next to gp hq) for 10 minute parking. And idk about your other situation, but when ever i see your car badly parked (atleast every hour) I try to pm you to please move it or it will be towed

Elizabeth 02-01-2009 08:09 PM

refuse to use them? LOL i park there everytime im in unstick me except for that one time..

papajchris 02-01-2009 08:25 PM

Well then thats why it was towed.

Im trying to have skyld install more timed parking places at the mall, beach, and hopsital for people that justn eed to go there temporaily. But it would be longer parking such as a hour or so

Also called Torrie, do we need to go into this?

I want a staff to give me my car back, I pmed him warrning him people could get over it, he warped to me and said "No they cant" so I showed him they could then he towed my car.

It was a pretty **** move IMO, I would of just unstuck with it, and if I wanted to go into the stupid hotel I would not of pmed him trying to show him people were going in.

What if a tow truck is parked at unstick point?

Nataxo 02-01-2009 10:48 PM

He also likes to change his outfit acording to the color of his body (green, blue, purple)

CharlieM 02-01-2009 11:23 PM

what the hell is with you people and this Erik? I don't think I have ever heard of his account before now and Era was the first server I played when I started Graal and I still log on around once a week. This server is about towing and whanot, We don't need timed parking spaces there just useless, but a Tow Truck Business would be insanley awesome someone make a tow truck gfx

I'm pretty sure GP is "Graal Police"

a lot of staff tend to take parking very seriously when they have the powers to tow them.

It's part of the whole "I've got the power now!" phase once you gain power. They'll get over it and do something productive sooner or later.

Elizabeth 02-02-2009 04:07 AM

my car was securely parked.. i made sure before i logged off.. and it got towed.
