Accepted Better entity spawning mechanics

[saskyc]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

I suggest having option to despawn your things thru the F4 menu, it has been bad for me a lot of times when I lost my things and could not get them .

Janitors vacuums or mop the little thingies you clean the mop in are not ownered by the janitor so it can't be despawnes even when it is stuck.

Despawning could have some "fee" so if you want to despawn something pay 5 dolar.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?
I have searched but found none.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2)
- Stuck things will not be a problem now.
- Better gameplay for janitors and chefs.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion
- People abusing it when RP action happens like guard takes it they can just despawn it.
- Add cooldown for despawning (2.5 minutes)

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted?
Because Janitors and Chefs will be more then happy to play now and not be every time fucked in the ass by switching job as Janitor and your vacuum not despawning with you and still having 1/1.

Also ClassD will have more motivation to cook because there was no way to get your items from the pit of blackness in CDC.

Can’t you already do this in the Q Menu?
Q Menu -> Utilities -> Cleanup

This clears all props, and I believe it clears items like Pans and what not because they’re owned props, but you’d have to test it to make sure.

I would object to this as a solution because I don't think you want to be building a habit in players of just hitting the "Clear All Props/Entities" button in the Q Menu; What if they apply to and become Staff/GMs? Yes, Staff/GMs know that you have to hit one button and ABSOLUTELY NOT the other, but players generally not only don't know, they don't need to know or care. So then you have them building that habit and then at some point may be like "Hm, I'd like to be Staff/GM" and they have that habit. Not a good thing to have in the pool.

Although this is obviously, very minor. But I hope you get the point.

Although the solution is niche in itself, so is the situation imo. Sure not many people will know about it, but not many people will lose their pots and pans to d block, as personally I don’t see people cook in d block.

More like for janitors where with entity spawning it's the worst they could make it because you don't own the items and can't despawn them to spawn new so ye.
