Taxi Meter

[Sane-Hosting]

Does anyone have a simple distance counter for taxi's which can do value per meter or mile, or anything such or like?

GTA III+ 3D map is measured in units. As far as I know, each unit is understood as one meter but in-game one unit looks like 0.5 meters or even less. I have made this script today just for fun as you asked for it and released it in the community. It's not precise, you can make your own algorithm to work over it and please do so. It calculates the meters each 1500 ms, and you can change that in the c_taximeter.lua if you want to.

You're welcome.

I found a few bugs, with the script.

-> The counter can't be reset.

-> The counter vanisishes, and have to leave for it to work again.

[myonlake]

Uploaded a new version, which should fix both of them.

Imma have a look at it, mind if I rewrite it and use it for some other projects?

[myonlake]

If you wanted to rewrite it you wouldn't have to use my resource. It's a very simple script. But go ahead. If you're using major parts of the code, leave the copyrights.

Just wanted to look into the converter to the distance in meters.

It work's for all vehicles, it's showing for every car, could you limit the vehicle's to then cabbie and taxi?

look for the;

addEventHandler("onVehicleEnter", ... 

under the function (...) place;

local model = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer ); 
if ( model == or model == ) then 
-- the function which shows the gui etc 
end

addEventHandler("onVehicleEnter", ...

local model = getPedOccupiedVehicle ( thePlayer ); 
if ( model == or model == ) then 
-- the function which shows the gui etc 
end 

That makes no sense as there is no event for that in the script, and there is no 'thePlayer' defined neither. Second of all, there is already a check for the vehicle model, but apparently I've done it wrong accidentally. There is no need to guide me, though, since I have been scripting for around 15 years.

Didn't want to guide you, but I wanted to guide Sane-Hosting haha.
