HL2RP Event Ideas

[CJ]

Everyone loves a good event, however most events nowadays consist of boring “Judgement Wavier” or “Protect the citizen by locking them up in residential blocks”

That being said, what do you folks think would make a good event? Post below to your hearts content no matter how recycled or cringe it may be

Something collapses. CWU Have to repair it.

Major power outage. CWU Have to use citizens during an emergency shift to bring emergency generators to the forcefield generators and needed buildings.

Anything that involves citizens is good.

Sounds chaotic but you could either do a exogen breach event or a headcrab canister launch malfunction. TLDR for both:
Exogen Breach:

/event The city would seem oddly quieter if you were not in mid-conversation, almost as if something turned off.
/event You can faintly hear the sound of some Xen fauna, however, you are not sure exactly what it could be.
/eventlocal You can clearly see an antlion, it's clear something went wrong with the city's Antlion defenses.

and then from there it'd be people with antlion whitelists vs everybody else
tools/weapons would be temporarily allowed if they're melee-oriented in order for people to defend themselves
but afterwards everybody would be forced to relinquish weapons unless they were to run or resist amidst the chaos

Canister Malfunction:

/event A loud crash would be audible, the impact heard against concrete. Whatever it was sounded metal and tubular.
/event You hear the chittering of headcrabs faintly from the tubular objects. You should run from it.

and then headcrabs would come out ooo
Spawn citizen NPCs to create some zombies too, as headcrabs can actually become zombies if they can kill a citizen NPC


The events would need HL2 tools and HL2 tools extras installed, in order for headcrab canisters in toolgun and if there are going to be zombies involved too, would need the enhanced zombie addon for zombie diversity.

This is EXACTLY the type of events you SHOULDNT have.

Exogen Breach: ALL CITIZENS GO INTO THE BUILDINGS WHILE CP'S SHOOT THEM.

Headcrab Canister: ALL CITIZENS GO INTO THE BUILDINGS WHILE CP'S SHOOT THEM.

It would turn to CP's vs Antlions

besides those events that you guys don't like we could also do a fire burning an apartment building if we got vfire.

i feel like an event that starts off passive then turns into something active could be cool.

For example, building off of Vinyl's power outage idea there could be a storm in the city that over the course of a few days would grow stronger and stronger, eventually causing something to collapse or a power outage, requiring the citizens to be used to fix it. Weather is something thats pretty underused in hl2rp but it always adds a nice sense of setting. unfortunately most weather mods are laggy pieces of shit so this likely wont happen

A small disease - It will effect citizen RP a bit, including the CP's.

Small city fire - Someone accidentaly/on purpose started a fire. People are trying to stop it.

Hyper inflation - You know the rest, high prices, only way to get WFC's are to attend work shifts.

Random crates filled with goods or something else - A CWU had to leave his crate, or a rebel dropped lots of crates around the city. CP's are trying to take and find them before citizens.

Combine Lock Problem - A problem with combine programs that cause the door locks to be stuck, no one can open them, what will the people do ???
