I'm thinking about a delivery system that consists in 5 easy steps
1st - Go to boatyard
2nd - Type /c Loadcargo
3rd - Time limit to drive the cargo to the respective store ( e.g - Bait to tool shop )
4th - Enter the store and type /c Delivercargo
5th - Receive Profit ( Depending on the time you take and the value of the product you delivered )
Appliances : Stores would now have a stock limit and Limited or No stock ( both to prevent this delivery system to be abused and also to make it popular . e.g - If no one delivers bait to the tool shop , no one would be able to buy bait, thus making ppl to start delivering. Stock limit would prevent ppl from abusing the delivery. Limited stock would increase the cargo value.)
Licenses needed to deliver : Passport and driving + If possible , Merchant License, given at the city hall, for a certain amount of money.
This system could be used for :
-Bait
-Guns
-VCPD Material ( e.g - No delivery to the VCPDs = No restock available )
-Food ( when scripted )
-Drugs ( delivey to Gangs HQs like EAF/Montana/TAC , when property is scripted. New cmd for cops /c searchcar , will allow any officer to look if there is cargo in the car, e.g - if the officer finds bait, OK , if the officer finds drugs, leads to suspection )
Main Anti-Abuse measures : Stock limit , Delivery limit , Time limit , Different cargo values and that may be subject to change.
Main goal : 1 more job, new way to make profit, increase realism when it comes to commerce.

It's bad enough having no lifes fishing all freakin day.

The business script has one limitation.
The owner can buy everything from his shop absolutely Free!.....as he gets all his cash back as income.
Same with his friends, I think people who own biz will sell things to their friends for free.
That takes out all capitalism from the biz system.
Also, if a gang member buys a gun shop....we dont want all members to roam the streets with free weapons :devroll:
So, i was thinking of a way to remove this limitation.
I think we can use this idea :)
It will work this way,
First, we define Cargo.
Cargo is the common stock for all business, each unit of cargo costs $100 and its market price is $1000.
That means,
If a customer purchases something worth $1000 from a biz, it will reduce the biz stock by 1,
....................................... .................$2000........................................................ 2...
so on...
When a biz runs out of stock, it will need to restock by the cargo system.
The biz owner will have to purchase cargo.
Cost of 1 unit of cargo is $100.
The owner of <Biz> types
<Biz Owner> : /c ordercargo <number of units>
Message Displays: ADVERTISEMENT: <Biz> is awaiting a Cargo delivery from Viceport, for further details Contact <Biz Owner>.
Anyone interested in delivering cargo can take up the job.....and rest follows Alarba's Idea :)
Except, theres no time thingy...and the delivery guy gets paid by the biz owner.
1st - Go to boatyard
2nd - Type /c Loadcargo
3rd - Time limit to drive the cargo to the respective store ( e.g - Bait to tool shop )
4th - Enter the store and type /c Delivercargo

Main Anti-Abuse measures : Stock limit , Delivery limit , Time limit , Different cargo values and that may be subject to change.If no-one orders cargo...no one can deliver...Un-Abusable
Main goal : 1 more job, new way to make profit, increase realism when it comes to commerce.
Removes limitation as stated
A job with multiplayer aspect, Owner pays....delivery guy earns, No Money Generated.
Adds another element to biz handling....ordering a lotsa cargo, but no customers is bad...
Nothing "fishy" :razz:
PS: Red text is mine, dont accuse llama for posting a good/bad idea :D
and thnx for reading another long essay....im gettin a hang of this :)

Damn! There goes my plans!
On a serious note though, loving the idea. You made Alarba's idea into something a lot better.

Well come up with more ideas

Damn! There goes my plans!
I think you can still stick to them....90% discount aint bad.
Maybe change it to 70%? Your plans are scary :razz:
The main problem was free rocket launchers and drugs......but as i see, u guys are more interested in Stubby and Pizzas

When it comes to guns, we'll take what we can get
-
More ideas.. what about Free M60 to Alarba ... kewl heh? Joking........ Thanks for looking at the topic Daddy :D
-
So im having time understanding u will buy cargo for 1000 and each one will be sold for 100?? help me there..
I think i should add discounts for people like for a day e.t.c?
like
<you have recived a 40% discounts on guns.this expires 4Hours 30mins>

No,
You will buy cargo for $100, and each one will be sold for $1000.
Buy: When you restock your biz, you order a cargo delivery...the cost of the cargo is $100.
Sold: When customers do $1000 worth shopping from your shop, it reduces your stock by 1. When you run out of stock...time to restock :)

Problem with discounts is, that when biz owners get a chance to change prices....they always sell things cheap to win over competition.
Thats why we chose fixed prices, rather than giving Biz Owners liberty to change prices.
Now....if discounts are scripted....owners will definitely go for 80% discount 365 days...24/7!!! come buy!!!!
But since you suggested Discounts for limited time, makes it a good idea :)
But the problem is....It will require a timer.
Timer is something that umm..... evaluates time. If overused it lags the scripts.
So, it should be only used, if Urgently needed.
Right now, im undecided if discounts are urgently needed :)

IMO not
-
so won't the stock prices change?
-
No.
Stock prices will be same for all business
-
When is the idea getting scripted?
-
Daddy will maybe work on this so it will be ready for when we add Daddys script alone for bug reports
