[HRH] TAXImeter scripted (BOX) Version 2024.03.23

THE METER:

HIRE: Is the name of your paying passenger. Left click the input field, and a blue window opens in the top right of your monitor asking you to input the passenger's name and SUBMIT (do not hit ENTER). The name appears in the field (as you typed it).

Pass by FARE for a moment.

CAB CO.: Input the same as above - it is the company you work for. If you work for yourself, make up a company name.

CABBIE: Input the same as above - this is your name.

FARE: Defaulted at 1L for the first second, increasing to 2L after the 1st minute, 3L after the second minute, etc... You have ultimate control over the base cost just for getting into your cab, and how much you want to charge, and how long before the price increases. Example: 1,917L, increasing 476L every 13 seconds (how to extort money, and make a really bad name for yourself).

The fare starts calculating the moment you push the START/STOP button, showing the elapsed time, and stops when you push the button again.

To reset the timer, left click either the TIME, or FARE, and from the blue window that opens in the top right of your screen, select RESET.

To change any of the typed in fields, left click, and change.

4 colours are offered for the text (which glows in the dark).

>> NOTE: The meter DOES NOT SUCK LINDENS from you, or your passenger's account (it is purely voluntary for your passenger to pay you).

Much thanks to Tarlyn (sotoro) for scripting this beast. Take a look at the reason why TAXImeters came into being (I checked market, I couldn't find a single one (2023-Aug-15))
