Skyrim Lockpicking System | DarkRP & Sandbox

Throughout all my time making addons in Garry's Mod, this was one of my very first addons I made, recently re-visited to bring it up to date and playable on DarkRP servers.

This addon replicates the skyrim lockpicking system and brings it to Garry's Mod. The UI is the exact same as you'll see in skyrim and the controls are the same too. Move your mouse to manipulate the pick and press D to turn the cylinder. Every few seconds at the correct pick angle you'll hear the pins jiggle, this is your target angle. Each additional difficulty makes it harder to get the exact angle that you need to pick.

The Doors are automatically assigned random difficulties when the server loads, these range from Novice, Adept, Apprentice, Expert and Master. PD Doors are automatically assigned Master difficulty. However if you wish to manipulate these, I'll make a github repo and you can download this to the server and manipulate the config yourself.

The weapon you need to use is "skyrim_lockpick" which is found in Weapons, Berkark's SWEPS and then skyrim_lockpick. You will be better off adding this to a shop somewhere on your server as you'll need to re-equip this weapon once the lockpick breaks.

I've also created an entity which is spawnable on the Q menu called "skyrim_door_upgrade", this can be used on a door to increase the difficulty by one level at a time. If you wish to sell these in a shop on your server this is also useful for players to give themselves more defence.

I have just published this and although I've tested this, there may be issues so please let me know of any problems you face whilst using this system.
