🕵️ Thief — Pickpocketing & Lockpicking

Paste-ready About text for the DXRP directory listing.

Classic DarkRP thieving, remastered for DXRP. Anyone can pickpocket bare-handed — no item, no job restriction. A buyable lockpick cracks locked player doors. Both crimes run through a live skill-check minigame, tie into the Wanted / police system, and are fully server-authoritative.

Tune every setting live, in-game with the /thiefconfig admin panel — no dashboard round-trips, no restarts.

🎯 Pickpocketing — free for everyone

Sneak up behind a player, within arm's reach, and type /pickpocket (or /pp).
A timing bar appears — tap Reload (R) on the moving green zone. Land 3 hits in 6 seconds.
Clean lift: you take a slice of their wallet (never their bank) — and the amount always varies.
Fumble: the mark feels your hand → you're flagged Wanted and nearby police get an alert.
Even a perfect lift has a small chance of being noticed. Crime is never risk-free.

🔓 Lockpicking — the buyable tool

Equip the Lockpick, aim at a locked, player-owned door.
Hold Attack1 to work the lock, tap Attack2 on the green — 5 hits in 12 seconds.
Success: the lock clicks, the door opens, and the break-in is reported — you go Wanted.
Slip: the pick holds, short cooldown, and the pick wears faster.

Lockpicks have durability and eventually snap, so breaking in stays a real cost.

🛡️ Built to be safe on a live server

Wallet only — bank money is never touched, so players can protect cash by banking it.
Protected marks — AFK and spawn/god-protected players can't be robbed.
Protected doors — government, police, mayor, chief, prison and jail doors are blacklisted; players can't pick their own door, and only one thief can work a lock at a time.
Anti-cheat by design — the client only draws the minigame. The host re-validates range, angle, protections and cooldowns, and every payment is host-side with automatic rollback. Nothing can be duped.

⚙️ Setup (server owners)

Enable Thief on your network. Pickpocketing works immediately — no items, no map setup.
To sell the lockpick: add it in your gamemode's Content section, then list it in the gamemode Market with your price. (Admins can also hand one out with /givelockpick.)
Requires your server economy to be enabled.

🛠️ Admin

CommandWhat it does/thiefconfig (or /thiefadmin) | Opens the live admin config panel
/givelockpick | Gives yourself a lockpick (testing / handing out)

Both require the Spawn Entity permission (CommandSpawnEntity).

/thiefconfig puts every sensible setting on one screen — master on/off switches for each crime, plus reach, cooldowns, steal %, payout cap, minimum wallet, detection odds, skill-check difficulty, AFK and spawn protections, lockpick reach/cooldowns/durability, and the door rules.

Changes apply instantly, save automatically (they survive restarts), and sync to every player. Running another pickpocket addon? Just switch Pickpocketing OFF and keep the lockpicking.

💬 Player Commands

No custom keybinds — everything opens through chat, so it works on every DXRP server.
