DetectivePikachu Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Short description: Implement a taxi dispatch system, to make it fair for all drivers on duty Detailed description: Implement a taxi dispatch system, that when a fare comes in, it takes the driver for whom the most time has passed since the last fare, and offer it to them. If they don't accept said fair within a certain timeframe (like 5 seconds), offer it to the next one in line, with the most time passed since the last fare. Commands to add: Unknown Items to add: None How would your suggestion improve the server? This would greatly improve the taxi system, making it fair for all drivers, as the current method still gets exploited. Additional information: None 4 Link to comment
Pandy Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I really would love to see this implemented or something like this. Link to comment
Hlias Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I've noticed people accepting fares in less than 3 seconds, that would be a good implement. Link to comment
Vash Baldeus Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Yes I support will eliminate the window to exploit the system, I believe some drivers use a key-bind command to accept fares. Link to comment
Late Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) There was another suggestion that made it so it allocated to the next closest taxi which is better so you can strategically position taxi's round the map to cover the "hot spots" of where calls come from rather than the oldest. These suggestions are all good but they NEED to make it so you can get calls when you're outside of the taxi as right now it's hard to roleplay as boring as fuck just sitting in your taxi with /taxiaccept typed out waiting for a call. That's not roleplay. Edited May 5, 2020 by Late 1 1 Link to comment
owen Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 A Dispatch system (in and out of the taxi) would be ideal. If you're outside of a Taxi, you just roleplay having it set to your phone (which Taxi drivers do in real life) and that's where your job are. The taxi job is actually a cool niche in certain scenarios of role play (leaving bars, clubs, calling taxis for people to get home, arguments and so forth) and it sucks when there's not many people doing it — I'd push for anything that encourages more dedication to the job.

Connor Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I'd really love to see this implemented. It'll make it a hell of a lot fairer on everyone. Link to comment
Lawliet Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 ^ Big yes. Would also double down on distance based instead of time based, or a combination of the two. Link to comment
effion Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 It would be extremely hard to make it both time and distance I imagine But I'm down for time based tbh Link to comment
