Society borrow terminal
I’ve been thinking about some sort of borrowing system that could be implemented in PE… and based on some stuff I’ve read on the forum about the flaws, I came up with this idea… please feedback, thanks in advance ![]()
(why only for society you ask ? Because being in a soc would be encouraged)
Society Borrowing system
Main conditions
- All items put in borrowing system have to be full TT
- Borrowed items are not dropable, auctionable, transferable, TT-able
- Attachments can not be put on borrowed items, except if the borrowed attachment is from same person
- 1 ped borrow fee (for MA)
- Borrow time is fixed, 3 days
- The person who puts items for borrow can ask a fixed fee (5 ped,…) for each item he put in borrow system
- Each member can only put 30 items for borrowing
- Borrow terminal shows a window like in TT-terminal for each soc. member + a window for the borrower
- Items put in borrow terminal get an extra flag as ‘borrowed item’ (which prevents items to be dropped, put in auction, etc…)
Person who put items in borrow
- Fixes all items to full TT and visit society borrow terminal
- Puts his items in his window
- Sets a price how much each borrowed items should cost to borrow (not items dependant, 1 price for all items, like 5 ped for each item borrowed)
- Closes the borrow terminal window
Peron who borrows
- Person visits society borrow terminal
- Slides an item to the borrow window from someone who has put items for borrowing
- The TT price of the items is show and if there is enough on PED card the person can click ‘Borrow’
- A message appears there will be 1 ped borrow fee + fee from peson who put items for borrow
- The TT-price + borrow fee + fee from person is deducted from his PED card (person who put items in borrow gets a message that xxx ped has been added to his card, the borrow fee, like 5 ped) (the TT price which was deducted has been ‘parked’, both persons can’t get to the money)
- After 3 days the items returns in the borrow window
- the decay price is deducted from the TT-price the borrower put in
- the rest of the money returns to the borrower
- the items gets fixed to full TT again, and are ready for next borrow
Example with 1000 ped item, 5 ped fee to borrow (for person who put items for borrow) , 1 ped borrow fee (for MA)
Person A repairs items to full TT = 1000 ped
Person A goes to society borrow terminal and put item in his window
Person A sets borrow price to 5 ped not for this items , but for all)
Person A closes terminal window
Person B opens borrow terminal window
Person B drags 1000 ped item to ‘borrow window’
If there is enough on ped card (to say 1000+5+1 ped = 1006 ped) the ‘borrow button’ is clickable
Person B clicks ‘borrow button’
A message appears 1006 ped has been deducted from his ped card, 1000 for the item (which gets ‘parked’, 5 for the borrow (which is transferd to the perosn who put the item for borrow), and 1 as borrow fee (which MA gets :))
Person B goes hunting for 3 days, doesn’t repair item (item is at 500 ped)
A message appears the borrow time is over and the item is transferd back to terminal and he got back 500 ped
The item gets fixed to full TT (1000 ped)
Item is ready to be borrowed again
(The ‘borrow terminal’ could be something that is available at service centers, but could also be an item to be looted, like the personal construction terminal,…)
