Title: Toll booth money counter
Post by: zirmitra on December 03, 2011, 07:41
okay, so i thought it would be cool to add a feature that tells players exactly how much money the toll booths all around the server make, and how many players go through them.

It's not a bad idea, but i think it's hard to script it.
Cause it's something like how many smokey the bear banned.

if it works the same as holding number of bans, it'd be very easy for mick to script. It's just automatically adding numbers to a database I believe.

How would that exactly help us? I mean you still have to pay 15 bux to pass them..

Its not supposed to help us, i just thought it would be cool to know how much money they generate each day

I dont really care how many people travel through the tolls and how much money the tolls get, that would be a waste at scripting because it servers no point and would help no one...not like players could actually gain any information by this being added..

pointless suggestion   -10

Agree with you.

I agree with this, if you want to talk about pointless things, why do i care how many people smokey bans?
The reason is for people wanna see, and are curious.

I am for this idea i think it'll be really neat to see how much the tolls generate weekly considering it gets so  much traffic


+11

to make up for ethans -10 ;)

yes, its pointless. But then you could also say that the smokey counter is pointless too. Ultimately its up to mick.

It'd be an interesting statistic but probably would be rarely used, and just takes up more resources

of course it would take up resources.. adding this in would cause possibable MORE lag.. something we definatly do not need

:ukiddn:
1 more database field... if you're talking about the queries then perhaps keep it as temporary variable (in gamemode) and send it to database every 10 minutes. You won't notice a thing.

Just because it's using resources doesn't mean it will auto-create lag...

Anyway I like this idea, it's the little nooks and crannies that are always interesting to know.

You realise when you start a mission you're given the toll money needed?

You spend nothing on tolls unless not on a mission
