Hellow
Everyone knows that nowadays no one /call taxi, it became useless.
My idea is, some NPCs will spawn every 20min, in the city, so i took my cab and /Mission (for example), and the server will write above Jhon needs a taxi near the Carlos Burger shot and wants to go to Mr fuks Silvia needs a taxi near Paranomic Store and want to go to Snn Transportation GS
and here i choose one and /gps carlos burger shot and go there
when i get there, i should find an npc, /Acceptfare npc, here the npc will desepear and i /gps mr fuks
when i take jhon to the mr fuks, You were paid 200$, good job
Actors can’t move (u can push em but it won’t sync for others) nor entering vehicles (Except in IVMP RC2)
Alternative way is to go near the actor and you do that /acceptfare npc cmd, actor will get removed (let’s say, he’s now inside the cab) then you drive to the point where he wanted and receive $$$
If all the seats are occupied by players, then you can’t pickup the actor
Supported- this will give players a solid reason to get on taxi duty and at the same time stranded online players will finally have taxi drivers at their beck and call.
Supported
As Nicole said it will enable more players to join on Taxi duty, and in an event of any online players needing taxi it will be available, however the worst case scenario is that players calling for taxi and when it arrives they say oh thanks my friend is coming or Oh I found a car.
Not to mention if NPC pays good amount for long routes lets say from acter industrial to Bohan around 580$ or so , why would taxi drivers even consider transporting online players.
If a slight tuning made into this such as: The online players should specify where they want to be transported for eg:
/Call TAXI [gps location name]
Taxi service was called to transport you to[gps location name]for[price]
then the taxi drivers will get a notification that a player located in[caller ID location]wants to go to[gps location name]for [price]
So then its up to the taxi driver to either continue doing his jobs if he doesn’t want to transport someone for a small amount , or if he feels like the RP is much more essential for a short time and decides to go to the player.
Well, adding a bit more precision for a location might help, but, I am not sure all players know where they are (especially newer players). Also, the current command shows the area where the player who called is. Also, with the player count on this server, it’s pretty easy most of the time to know where is each player.
Actually, I have been a taxi driver in the last few days, and the money I receive from fares isn’t too bad. I think it’s up to the player if he wants to interact or not with others.
Players are able to join it no matter what, but they are not willing to join.
I think you meant to attract people rather than enable them to join taxi job.
