Title: Idea - Car renting
Post by: priitkaard on February 24, 2014, 03:19:17 pm
I believe that there might be a similar topic to this, but I was thinking that when you rent someone a car, that would be nice if you could write a command and rent it to someone. Like: /rentcar (id) (time) . The point is that when you rent someone a car then you have to stay logged in for the time he is renting it because otherwise it will disappear and appears again if you log in , where you saved the car. That would be great if the renter could use car locking system by himself and doesn't have to be scared of losing the car when the one who rented it, crashes.

Actually this is good idea,

But there's one thing should we know that when you were renting someone car for an hour, then the owned suddenly logged off or crashed and he/she wont be back again to the game, how about the car? will it still be there until the renting time finished? or the car will gone?

And  more additional for both players agreement, we need add commands for the car owner, because we dont know  that the owner wants to rent his car or he doesn't.
for example :
Command :
/renthelp ( will display how much cost for renting car in each minutes, maybe min. for 5minutes )
e.g /renthelp 100$ / 5 minutes
/rentcar ID (time in minutes) e.g  /rentcar 8 60

commands for the owner :
/acceptrent
/denyrent

Just a suggestion
Supported  :dance:

yeah, ok. The /denyrent should be there and if the owner rents his car to a player -
I don't think its just for nothing, then it should be owners fault. Secondly,
I saw a post where was like /rentcar (time) (amount) .. I don't really agree with the last parameter. This would be easily abused on players. But yeah, this idea could be fixed every way to be done :)

Hello People ,

Firstly I'm happy to see that someone has pointed out that business again.
Today I'd like to share my experiences with this business ..I used to be a Car Renter  :cowboy:

There was no limit for buying cars and you were able to buy as much as you could , so it was a good idea to rent them for others' use instead of they being parked at garage just for showing off .. That way I could earn some money with my dear old friends Martin_ODonnel and his assistant Rafu_ODonnel ..I had such a successful business that I took some loans from Alessandro_Gvardia (his old business Gvardia_Investment Bank (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=70056.0)) to buy new cars . I succeeded and paid my loans back in time .. Not trying to show off or being big-headed but I was so successful that even Admins thought I was cheating .. until I showed them the records . (I was writing down the customer name , money , time ,  car etc .)

So I can tell you that with no hesitate , it was the best Roleplay job I've ever done .Firstly the profit , secondly the Roleplay itself . We could roleplay and talk about cars , doing some test drives with customers and also when a customer's rented car gets stolen , calling LCPD for backup .. To be honest It was way better than selling drugs on the street 'cause  this was a legal company and not risky .

For you suggestion , I don't think that's primarily needed to have a command to allow people drive your car for specific period of time , it would be confusing in my opinion , like when the owner of the car gets disconnected (will the car remain in server for promised time and how this is possible in script..) Also I'm not fancy of blocking players with commands (carlock is an exception and admin cases).. Players should have some freedom to play their part in their Argonath Roleplay Life .So they can be distinguished as "Good People" and "Bad people" ..

If none steals cars , who is going to call LCPD ?  :cop:
Sitting on your butt all day long at Gas station ? No, thanks ^.^

Short of All , Roleplay it , create a business , talk to admins , get some feedback and so on , if someone rulebreaks and ruins your roleplay , you are already allowed to /report whosoever  :smack:

Thanks for reading..

I don't see why this needs script support, it's very easy to roleplay..

Each time someone posts, I ask the same question to myself. If the driver doesnt return the car on time, call 911 if the problem is safety of car. >.<

I think they are pointing out to the fact that car disappears after its owner disconnects.. so they are suggesting something that would work around it ;p

although, dunno if that is possible to script in this client version

It is possible in my opinion, though a player should stay active if a car is being rented, no pain no gain...
Title: Re: Idea - Car renting
Post by: Mihail Junkovich on February 26, 2014, 11:23:33 pm
yeah.. that's for sure..

otherwise in a short period of time we would have people that just rent a car for an hour and then go out of the server

I believe it would speed up "how do I find car" solution, so our Taxi service could get more attention. -Taxi from that person's location to Rent-a-car service run by certain people.

If possible, command like /rent, ( while in vehicle ) makes your vehicle present on server 1h after you log would be perfect in my opinion.
So, later actions would be roleplayed, and person who owns rented cars ( If have to leave ) could go out without any problems.

Pretty good idea but i am not supporting it. Why? Becouse the server is an RP server. If you just take out the rp possibilities what kind of server would it be? As other said it can be easyly done by rp. And if you are thinking of "nit getting the car stolen" u should stop it cos car thefts give some work to cops.
