Ingame car buying system

[gigawert]

It would be cool to have an ingame car market that draws from the online database. You just drive in, select the model you want to buy, then it shows you a list of all the used cars available for it.

BUT, since [TC] is a "Cops and ROBBERS" server, then we could add car stealing in. You would drive in as a robber, and click a button that says "Steal a car". This would pick a random car from the market under 10 % condition and put it in their inventory if they have room. Regardless of whether they had room or not, they would be wanted by the [COP]s. All cops logging on or changing their name to [COP] or [VCU] would be shown a message on screen saying "Robbers on the run. Click to view details". (Robbers stay on the list indefinitely until they are busted by any cop) When they click it, it would show a list of all robbers, with the online ones at the top. They would then find them and chase them using !chaserobber. That command would only work if they were on the list of robbers. The chase would immediately be in the second stage, the "failed to stop" stage in normal chases. If they get busted, their fine would be 4x as high than normal chases (so if they get busted early on, the lower suggested fine would be 1200 instead of 300) and the stolen car would be returned to the market.

Of course, if you don't want cops flooded with robbers to chase, you could limit the amount of robberies to once an hour or once every two hours.

I typed a lot but I think it would fit the server description of "Cops and robbers" a bit better, and this would add some variety.
