Rule for Canon water abuse of Firetrucks

This might actually be a good idea. They should have maybe 30 seconds of water in them, after that if you try to use the water it freezes you or something. I can't actually detect or control the water but I can detect them pressing the fire key, so slightly possible.

You mean after 30 seconds the driver will not be able to shoot water from tank until the cooldown time is over (maybe 10 or 20 seconds) and there would some message displayed like "CANNON EXHAUSTED" during cooldown.

Yeah that’s easy, the impossible part is making it not shoot water. You literally can’t control that. I’ll have to freeze the player if they hold the fire key.

Maybe just a simple eject from vehicle would be better, a 5 second freeze leaves you a sitting duck.

Another way could be to force the freeze for 5 seconds and only cancel it if;

a. player waits 5 seconds inside the vehicle until the freeze is over
b. player presses F to exit vehicle, unfreezing them on the press of the F key

that way, if they are in a position where a 5 second freeze would get them killed, they still have the option to exit the vehicle and avoid that sitting duck issue.
