Autopay

I requested this in HGRP, but it never really got implemented.
Basically, if you are a person who easily forgets, you can use this to pay people who you hire/are in debt to.
I.E You hire a guard and you have to pay him $500 every 10 minutes, you would go on the F4 menu and click on a button saying "Autopay", then a menu will pop up that allows you to select the name of the person, amount of money to pay, and how frequently to pay. In this case you would select the Guard's name and $500 every 10 minutes.

Pretty simple, right?
Here is how the menu would roughly look like:
____________________________________________________________
|Welcome to the Bank of Daniel Autopay System!
|Name [Scroll Box w/ name of people on server]                                                                            
|Amount [Text Box - Numbers Only]                                                    
|Frequency (In Minutes) [Text Box - Numbers Only]                                
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This isn't a bad idea, assuming it is needed.

Sounds like a good idea.

Looks good

I love the idea.
Waiting on Fulc for his opinion.

I'll be honest I'm not entirely sure how to do this. I'll look into it and play with it though. Would it just be a matter of. /pay tele 10 5
so pay telectric 10 dollars 5 times?

then every minute or so do the payment?

Being able to cancel a payment or have a gui is abit beyond me at the mo

Well you could do a shortcut, like /autopay [Name] [Amount] [Time] so it would end up looking like /pay Teletric 200 5

Although I would miss the idea of it saying "Welcome to the Bank of Daniel Autopay system!"

lol Fulcrum GL coding this.

The actual payment thing itself is easy enough but it might put a little more pressure on server especially if everyone has multiple payments to everyone.

It would also be confusing to have 2 payements set up to the same person.

Also hard to cancel a payment. If Each person could only set up 1 payment at a time that might be feasible.

Would cancelling a payment be necissary?

i dont think we need the payment cancel ..

I don't really think people would need more than one autopayment. After all, who needs more than one guard? The shops aren't big enough.

Also, obviously if the person changes jobs or leaves the server, the payment would be canceled. Maybe just make a prototype for now, and update it as you get more info?
