[Denied] Speed Meter/VCPD Suggestion

I think there should be a speed meter which reads your speed when you're driving. This can be helpful to see your speed. It also helps in the police script as Luca can make a rule that every citizen should keep there speed under a certain limit at certain roads. I don't know if a speed sign board that tells what speed you should have is possible to make on the streets, but would be good to give every road a different speed limit. Also police officers can be able to use a cmd like /c checkspeed (player id/name) to see the speed of citizens driving and also they can use /c speedlimit (player id/name) to see the speed limit of the road that the player is on to see if the Player has exceeded the speed limit and if he has he must be fined. For all this to work there needs to be a speed meter so the speed is visible to the driver. If police officers are chasing a criminal for any reason they must be able to break the speed limit in order to catch the criminal. I have seen this on other servers, the speed meter can just show the speed in as a number or can show a real meter like in a car.

Thanks
Hope to see it soon

I think this is a very good command that can improve roleplay.

Suggestion was accepted by me and it will have a reviewal of Angel soon.

It is possible to script this, but it would most likely require a timer unless you want it to work like this:
Luca sees a car from a distance types /c getspeed and sends out a laser and then /c getspeed again to get the laser back to measure the speed. To measure speed you need two distance and a time difference, which can only be done this way or by using a timer (which isn't very good in general unless it is totally worth it. Which this isn't).

You do know that I script for several hours a day right? My main tester called Luca however is never around to help me on the other hand, but I am lucky to have Ghost when you're not here.

Is it possible that the speed comes automatically to the police officer??
Like if a driver is driving and sees his speed on the meter
Then Luca types a cmd to get the speed of a specific player and then the speed comes to him automatically

And also is it possible to make sign boards for a speed limit on specific roads and highways??

Also can you explain and give an example for the timer thing you were talking about??

Thanks

The timer thing is because there is no speed function in pawn, so a timer is required. The timer has a refresh rate in ms and it calculates the time difference by the distance difference.

I don't think there should be a speed meter to be honest...

It is too much work and it isn't useful at all. I am pretty sure an officer is capable of detecting when someone is driving too fast.

Suggestion denied, But thanks for taking your time to suggest this.
