Server Suggestion Act wheel toggle that lets you open carry.

[Bnjemann]

Suggestion Title: Act wheel toggle that lets you open carry.
Suggestion Description: Adding an act wheel toggle option that decides whether your pistol or concealable weapon is displayed on your person.

Locations for these depending on the weapon:
Pistol, Knife, hammer, cleaver, hatchet: Displayed on the hip.
SMG, katana, Machete, sawed off shotguns: Displayed on the back similar to how a rifle is.

For officers the firearm displayal should be on by default and appear either at the hip or in the holster on the model.

Why should this be added?:
- Establish a point showing your armed when doing so would benefit you without brandishing the weapon.
- Creates a sense of customisability, and setting the scene better, generally giving players the ability to look cooler with a gun at their hip.
- Officers won’t have a silly looking empty holster anymore.

What negatives could this have?:
- Having more entities visible at once.
- Model positioning for each so it looks fine.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Without brandishing or dropping the weapon, someone can make themselves known as armed.

Could you provide an example of why civilians might choose to display a concealable weapon openly? Practically useless as people solely use pistols for concealability

This is cool for flashing my pistol at new players

People often fuck about and find out... that you're armed. And putting it in your hands can be seen as intimidation and cause them to shoot you.

Now I have a question, is flashing your gun 3.4?

Now I have a question, is flashing your gun 3.4?

no, as long as you don’t do it directly infront of a cop

There could be probably some way to break 3.4 by flashing a gun lol. The rule is very subjective in terms of that stuff as we know

Now I have another question, is there going to be an animation? And if there is, how is it going to look for the weapons in the back and in the hip?

 

[A2L]

Now I have another question, is there going to be an animation? And if there is, how is it going to look for the weapons in the back and in the hip?

I would say there 100% will be no animation due to factors such as;
- Dev time for each weapon and specific place the weapon is to be put
- Looks isn’t the main point of this suggestion
- Pretty impossible to make animations for some guns eg. putting a rifle on your back

No new animations would need to be made to accommodate for this change.

Some people might misinterpreting the idea of being at gunpoint, saying, "I showed a gun, so I had the right to shoot back."?

 

[AceAb0]

now I have another question, is it 2.5 if I kill somebody because they flashed their weapon?

 

[omgguy]

Additional suggestion, give the guns/melees a hitbox, so when hit it can act as armour.

yeah cuhh

Those people would be completely incorrect in the same way that they would be incorrect if they assumed the gun on their back meant they were safe from being gunpointed too.
