[Resolved] Ability to mark special places in CITphone

[pretface]

I got this idea today, when a player was asking where the LSPD is, and that's kinda hard to explain. Why not create a CITphone 'app' that gives you the ability to mark special places on your map. It'll get marked with the blip we also use as carblip (the red flag). Would also be nice if we can mark jobs with it.

Places:
All jobs in SF/LS
LS/SF Bank
LS/SF/LV hospitals
LSPD/SFPD
LS/SF/LV Airports
ATM machines

Maybe overtime other places can be added.

Marking the job marker place is nice but I dont find any use of marking those hospitals, airports.....they are easily navigatable but it would be nice if the phone higlights a easy way to reach the marked place just like a GPS

this would be totally useless...
1. All jobs are already marked
2. Banks are already marked too
3. I do like how police stations and hospitals would be marked. I like that
4. Anyone that has played the normal version of GTA:SA and at least done 75% of it, will know where the airports and stuff are.
Sorry but -1

I respect your opinion. Point 1 is true, but I mean each specific job can be marked, like Delivery Man or Hooker. Point 2 is also true, so is 4, but I think many people haven't played GTA:SA, including me.

I really like this idea because, even though the banks, jobs, all of that are marked. Some new 'newbie' player still comes in game and ask where all of the job and banks and food are. So I think this should be added. Also, the if the players look at bank they might think you get a job there because it's a cash logo, or you might get free cash, something like that.


(My opinion bro.)

I agree with u potface
also you can mark them using that red marker in GTA:SA (the old group members marker)

That would be pretty cool. I played on a server where you could have a GPS which showed you with an arrow aswell as on the map where the location you marked is at which could be the case here aswell.

So you simply take out your CITphone, chooses the GPS application and if you don't know where the taxi job is you press on that and a arrow will pop up showing the way aswell as a marker on the map and possibly how long it will take to get over there if you hold the same speed under the whole trip.

Cool idea pret ,this will help new players to know where to find jobs And also will help old players they will know where to find every job in SF .I personally don't know where are many jobs.

Yeah I like this idea and that will be nicer if you can type the street names, like (Grove street) and then location of Grove street shows in the map.

Ok would script it in no time.

Edit : no time = 1 week at max lol.

1. They are marked, but does it say what job there is at that marker? NO, read the thread properly.
2. I will agree with that one, wouldnt hurt if it was avaliable.
3. Yea.. kinda the point of the thread.
4. Wrong, not everyone has completed 75% of GTA:SA, most people just played the game to fool around and not many people actually followed the storyline.

Yes, big +1 from me!

Scripting is done, I am still in a dilemma about what should be the blip id of these bookmarks. Nothing from the default set suits this purpose.

[Smile^]

I very like this idea it will be helpful for new player come to server and see where is where and can come there get job etc. With me sometime I dont remember where is ATM so this should be helpful +1

[Chique]

Just finished the scripting, and working nice.

But Rick isn't online IRC so couldn't submit the script. Would submit as soon as he comes in.

[Slimos]

good idea ! it will be cool for the new players . +1
