Server Suggestion Ability to cancel lockpicks

[JuanBonita]

Suggestion Title: Ability to cancel lockpicks
Suggestion Description: A decently upvoted post that was purged in the suggestion wipe - Ability to cancel mid lockpick, however it breaks the lockpick. It is infuriating when you are the final player in a raid you kill 3 tfu just to get ganked by a pistol cop when you are breaking out the back door.

Why should this be added?:
- QoL
- Realism
- Anti-ragebait

What negatives could this have?:
- dev time

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Being forced to go watch 5 rifles go down the drain because you hear "hands up" behind you while lockpicking a back door.

Would be so useful and would fit realism, i’m sure in real life if you were lockpicking a door and started getting shot you wouldn’t continue and get blasted through the door lmao, you’d stop mid lockpicking

This was recently denied. Although I do agree with the suggestion.

should probably be that if you cancel it then you lose the pick, either way the mechanic that forces you to pick all the way through makes people more aware of their surroundings

This is definitely a good idea however there has to be some sort of cooldown with the bobby & crowbars, as I'm sure you won't want people spam crowbaring your cars and doors to be used solely as bait

i made sure to include that it breaks to prevent people spamming, also i understand the stuff about surroundings but even when you wait 2 minutes for anymore cops, if you are solo, the second you start bobby pinning a backdoor it takes one pistol cop to lose all the guns and time.

thats what the cancelling is for, you can have a maximum of 8 in that category so you couldnt spam that much and if you did youd be losing a lot of money and wasting a lot of time most likely causing pd to show up and blast you down
