Newspapers for DarkRP

This addon was specifically designed to work with DarkRP. Because of that, this addon will only work fully in that gamemode. There are no plans to release a Sandbox version.
The original addon can be found here. I took the concept of it and expanded it.

This addon adds a newspaper pile. Pressing E on the pile allows you to get a newspaper for a low price ($10 by default). Reading it prints several headlines into the chat that only you can see. Each headline will pick a random player and base a headline on that. These range from stupid tabloid stuff made for laughs to actually relevant stuff that point out information that is otherwise hidden or hard to access. Headlines change based on:
- Current job
- If that person is a Hitman, sometimes spell out the target or hit price
- If that person is rich, presumably money printer owners
- If the person is arrested
- Wanted status

Each newspaper will generate 4 random headlines. After reading a newspaper, it will get discarded and there's a chance that you'll receive a throwable crumpled newspaper ball. Throwing it deals no damage and it stays for a while, then disappears.

Each newspaper pile can have limited stock that regenerates after a while. If the pile is red, that means no more newspapers can be handed out. You need to wait for the restock.

The addon is cutomizable once exported. Each important variable and option that can be modified is available at the top of the script files. Things you can modify:
- If you get a crumpled ball after reading a newspaper and chance of receiving it
- Does the newspaper pile have limited amounts or is it infinite, how much does it take for restocks to take place
- Newspaper prices
- How many players there have to be in order to be able to buy a newspaper
- How much money do you need in order to get "this person is rich" headlines

Let me know what do you think!
