"Bait-Cars" for Cops and Robbers Servers!
I know I added the wrong tag, apologies.
If you clicked this link, I'm sure you have heard of the tv show "Bait Car". If you haven't, it's about special groups of police officers using 'wired', or 'controlled' cars to stop carjackers from stealing any more cars on the streets. These cars can be remotely disabled, leaving the thief to wonder what happened.
I got the idea of adding Bait-Cars into SAMP after seeing the countless amount people dieing, just because the cops can't keep up with them, and seeing that it is difficult to use commands fast enough on running convicts.
What this script does is add Bait-Cars into your server to be used by police, or undercover cops. There are 6 models to choose from. For simplicity's sake, there is only 2 commands: /BC to bring up the Bait-Cars list, and /DIS to disable the Bait-Car's engine. When the Bait-Cars are disabled, they are also locked, preventing the thief from getting back in. Since I have no clue how permissions are set up in CnR servers, I just made these commands for Admin permission.
This script does not stop the robbers, but slows them down considerably, making it much easier to issue a command to the thief, since they don't have a car. There are a few minor things that an expert scripter may want to fix, but since I am not such a super scripter, I will list them down.
-Police can use it to spawn themselves a car.
=My response to this is that I believe this could be a good thing, since you never know where a thief could be. Maybe you see one come out of a recently robbed Burger Shot. You can park your Bait-Car, find a civilian vehicle, and start to drive away. Then you can turn around and go back after the thief takes your car, and disable it.
-Driver's can bail out of disabled vehicles.
=This may be true, but I don't think they will realize it's slowing down until too late, when you can run up to them as they are getting out.
-Police can spawn Bait-Cars, while already in a car.
=I agree this could be a problem, but I didn't get around to fixing it myself. Perhaps in an update, I think I can fix this one.
-Anything else?
Below is a video, a script and a text download. Enjoy.

//I couldn't make this work in a FS, so you'll have to add it to your gamemode.
//Put these after #includes

new BC3;

new BC6;
//This goes under OnPlayerCommandText(...)

I would really like a Cops and Robbers server to implement this code (or something like it) into their servers so that I can try it out. If you do, leave me an Ip address in a pm or a comment to this post.
