take a loan, pay it off just like that... if not then stuff starts gettn taken away from you, maybe not for EVER but long enough till you can pay it back... say maybe it starts with the most expensive items or something and takes one away every 2 hours or so..

and when you pay back the loan everything comes back

Hmm.. we can talk more about it later =p.

If anyone has suggestings please post it here.

Make it so the player can't spend money until he has enough money to pay the loan for the day, it averages the loan by 30 (Hence the 30 days), then if the player wants to buy something he has to have his loan money, but he still needs more to buy an item.

Say a gun costs 200 bucks, and the daily loan is 8000 dollars.
If the player wants to buy a gun he has to have 8200 dollars. Seems pretty good for a collateral.

but the problem is is that they dont have money in the first place..
so why would hey get a loan and then only be able to buy one item with it, then have to work the money right back off before they could buy anything else...

it would be like working for the money in the first place

Basically.. its just that I don't awnt people to get accts and people just to give them the loan money from other servers then try to screw it over.

Yes, upper left GUI.

Update on Car:

Currently the script supports:
- As many players as I want each car to allow in, It depends on type of cars.
- Local Radio Stations (on GX)
- Diff speeds (depends on car)
- Diff cars entirely.
- Diff amount of people per car.
- Chatroom System aswell as kicking system from car.
- /play <URL> to allow streaming or whatever you choose for your car music.
- Parking Car (Though you can't buy them JUST yet =p)
- Addition to Above: You need the key to get in the car, without holding the key (tradable item) you will not be able to get in the car. (So basically.. to sell a car you just needa give key.) There will be key-duplicating soon, but for car-sales I will need to make the car locks changed I guess.

Future Improvements:
- Drivebys (only out of your window will it allow you to shoot).
- Switching Car Seats via w/ others.
- Right-click (Mute) to not get messages from a player in chat (say he is spamming or something)
- Nitros
- KuJi's Personal Escalade.. seriously =D.
- Crono's sexy police car (not lying =/)

Known Bugs:
- Stack Error (Can't seem to figure out what is up w/ these GUI Controls x.x)
- Getting out of car still keeps others following you (more of a non-done feature to disable it yet - but whatever)

Debugging is over due to scripting parking.. sorry.

Course.., just gotta fix the parking x/y on drop and then make gas I guess, and fix a small bug that I can't seem to find w/ this overflow =(.

Then nitros + drivebys ftw =D

loans won't work.
you would have to go far past the boundaries in order to make it work, and it
just slaughters the idea.
for example, people trading the loan money to other accounts, you would
probably have to make a separate money thing only make it "loan money"
and that you can't trade it, it sounds stupid.

then there is also a player can buy a bunch of items with the loan money
and tried the item itself to another account.

Yeah, thats why I am trying to find a work-around.. I think it'd be cool.

I could make loans like.. you need proof that your purchasing something like a house or something soon I plan to add such.

Maybe you can only get loans for cars, biz's, houses etc... and you can't trade the item until its paid off OR the loan goes w/ it?

You wouldn't necessarily have to make separate loan money. If someone IRL takes out a loan, then transfers that 5,000 dollars to a friend or another bank account, they still have to pay back whoever they took the loan from at some point. Just have the loan system start taking items (repo man!) or automatically taking any money the player earns if they haven't payed the loan back at a certain point.

The problem is people will get there friends on who dont play the server to take out loans and give them the money. That's why we are having this discussion.

Though if we are too ever get classic, I could make this like a VIP / Gold special instead of for all classics =o?

You could have the Bank-NPC, or possibly even a player who works as a banker (although this can lead to serious corruption) prescreen loan candidates, sort of like they do in real banks. If a player is brand new, a trial, or has very little activity on the server they cannot take out a loan, or can only take out a very small loan to start. Maybe that would work?

KuJi. GX is going pretty well I see. But if Pluffy was there...it would own all.
