Money Pots

This suggestion has come up before, but I literally could not tell if it was a joke or not. See for yourself: https://www.nocancerrp.com/Forums/showth...hlight=pot

This post highlights a denial of rangers, but not specifically money pots: https://www.nocancerrp.com/Forums/showth...hlight=pot

Now to the real part of the post

Money pots would be a great addition to aid merchants in being able to actually conduct a transaction without being absolutely obliterated through massive amounts of extreme bullet fire THROUGH completely solid items. 

But who cares about that.


The real implementation is automation. There are a lot more things you could possibly make with something like this. Automatic anything. It not only gives people the ability to buy things basically at will, but it also gives criminals easier targets to raid at, other than getting killed through a head glitch while trying to crack their 10 fading doors in a row in a normal base.

It's not only about being cool, it's about expanding the server economy.

If you take one thing away from this suggestion, just know that you can create new economy jobs without having to add new jobs. Whether it's a casino with many different slot machines or even a bank that's run automatically by several programs and vaults.

Long story short, this multiplies possibilities ten fold. Anything that you have to collect money for can be done automatically by adding money pots, as they have wiremod implementations.

EDIT: I'm sure some people are confused on what these actually do, so I have edited this into here to clarify: 

Money pots are designed to interact with money entities. So basically it somewhat acts as a player which can pick up money, store money and be given money through /givemoney. The money pot will store the money until it is used, in which it will eject the money through a specific end of the money pot. Money pots may be wired to E2 to test against a program about a player giving money. Like I mentioned above, this can be used to create auto-shops, vending machines, donation boxes, etc.

The actual money pot entity is compact, about the size of two small phx block cubes. There are 'exploit' videos on YouTube but the developer has patched all of the widely known ones and many of the ones that were more secret.
