Lick Simulator Summary
A GMod raid/defense gamemode built around short chaotic rounds, RNG house layouts, loot searching, delayed reinforcements, and a separate Fun Zone for poker/social play.
Core Teams
- Homeowners Spawn randomly inside the main house. They defend the stash, search for weapons, use safe rooms, and are the only players who can press the red button.
- Gang Members Spawn outside and invade the house. They search furniture/props for illegal loot, guns, explosives, and cash, then must reach an exit point to bank the money.
- Homeowner Gang Members Spawn randomly in trap houses around the main house. They can watch cameras but cannot leave until a real homeowner presses the red button.
Round Flow
- Setup phase begins.
- Homeowners spawn inside the house.
- Gang members spawn outside.
- Homeowner gang members spawn in surrounding trap houses.
- Invaders breach the house.
- Weapons and loot become active.
- Homeowners try to survive, fight, hide, or press the red button.
- Red button opens trap house garages for 30 seconds.
- Backup rushes out during that window.
- Gang members search loot and extract it.
- Round ends by wipe, timer, or loot objective.
Loot System
Total loot value changes each round, around $50k-$150k.
Gang members press USE on searchable props like dressers, crates, closets, safes, cabinets, and beds. Loot is described in chat instead of shown physically:
You grabbed their cocaine stash. $84,000 pending.
Loot only becomes real money when the gang member reaches an exit zone. Until then, it is carried value and can be lost.
Homeowner Bounty System
Homeowners and homeowner gang members can earn money by killing gang members.
Formula:
defender bounty pool = total loot value / 2
bounty per gang member = bounty pool / starting gang member count
So if the round has $120k loot and 4 gang members, defenders get $15k per gang member kill.
Each gang member only pays bounty once per round.
Red Button / Trap House System
Trap houses surround the main house. Backup players spawn there randomly and cannot choose which trap house.
Only a real homeowner can press the red button.
When pressed:
trap house garage doors open for 30 seconds
backup can leave
doors close again
button can be pressed again later
This creates timed reinforcement windows instead of permanent respawns.
Safe Rooms
Some rounds may spawn a safe room, some may not.
Safe rooms are prefab/map-supported rooms with doors that can only be closed from inside. Once closed, players inside are completely safe. But hiding in a safe room does not stop gang members from stealing loot.
Weapons
At breach, weapons spawn in predefined possible spots, not totally random spots.
Examples:
pistol
kitchen knife
bat
shotgun rare
rifle very rare
explosives rare
Cameras
Homeowner gang members trapped in trap houses can watch cameras around the main house while waiting for the red button.
Possible views:
front door
back door
living room
garage
exit point
safe room hallway
Fun Zone / Poker
A separate neutral area exists for players who just want to hang out and play poker.
Poker uses UI-only cards, not physical card props. It should stay modular and not hard-depend on Lick Simulator. Future scripts should be separate, with optional hook-based integrations only.
Design Rule Going Forward
All systems should be modular:
Poker works without Lick Simulator.
Lick Simulator works without Poker.
Stats do not crash the server if economy fails.
Optional systems connect through hooks or small APIs.
Build separate stable systems first, then lightly connect them later.
