Topic: Alley Lights



Short explanation (in notes):
- Makes It easier to patrol
- Makes the roads brighter at night time
- Cops/Criminals can use this!

Detailed description (why should it become added/...):
Hey, I figured that the night's in Paralake City are really dark. Meaning, This makes It harder for cops to patrol. I have a Idea to Implement Alley lights for night time patrolling, Alley lights are mounted on the left and right side of the light bar, It give's a powerful light beam to profile side illumination, it makes the job of an Police/Speed Officer patrolling a lot more easier. They can see what's happening around them and still in the safety of the squad car.




Optional additions:
- Criminals can upgrade there headlights to make them brighter for a good amount of money.
- Backup lights do illuminate a small area when reversing

I like this Idea! But there's no format! Please use the following template (I will fill this out for you, I even brushed up the grammar and spelling a liitle :) )

This would make life a lot easier, especially when you lose someone at night in the forest, it can be a true hell looking for someone in the dark, and being able to illuminate the area around you would make it a whole lot easier for us to find the perp, and of course for the perp to spot us and run away!

This is overall a good idea, as during the night (which is around 80% of the time, if you were to believe everything you hear), it is rather dark, and the headlights don't make a massive difference, especially in the forest. Alley lights would (or should) improve sight significantly, and would definitely help in navigating darker places of the city, such as the forest.
However, perhaps while doing this, adding a law (heck, maybe even a rule) to prevent people from using them in the main part of the City, as it would have a major effect on FPS, due to the impact that lights make, even with the regular headlights.

I support this, as long as a law (or rule) is added to prevent them from being used in the main city or heavily populated areas that are already somewhat well-lit.

Pressing V in the police vehicle with a mounted search light should activate it. It should be controlled by the player's camera but should be slower than the camera therefore a player can't toss his mouse 180 degrees and instantly have a searchlight at his camera angle. Also it should be limited to the range.

Passenger seat (2nd seat) should use left click to activate the search light for the right side and have the same options. This promotes buddies in my opinion.

This would be amazing in-game and would heavily increase police roleplay

I'd rather see a spotlight which is mounted on the front of a patrol car.

Here is an example of what it looks like:

"- Criminals can upgrade there headlights to make them brighter for a good amount of money." - no please

How would you be able to control them, have they ever been introduced into Garry's Mod

If you have read the whole topic you should've saw this

I recently noticed that the vehicle has additional bodygroups

police computer for example.

There's no doubt the vehicle has a searchlight bodygroup.

I also can't avoid noticing this in the process of finding the bodygroups for searchlights. A radio.

Same with this, "Cage"

-/+ Neutral I like it, but I don't know I just don't feel it's really necessary... Maybe just have one search light the passenger can use, if an officer is on their own then can use it, just not in the drivers seat. But yeah -/+
