Create taxi's driven by NPC's that players can call to drive them around the map
Travelling down connected roads
Travelling down unconnected roads/offroad
Simple obstacle avoidance
How it works
When a player calls a taxi it will spawn nearby and drive to them.
The player then enters the taxi and sets their destination by placing a marker on the map.
The route is then generated and the fare is calculated. The fare cost is based on the length of the route and the config option "Scrap cost per 1km travelled"
The player then can either get out of the taxi, change their destination, or type /payfare to begin travelling to the map marker.
About the Taxi
Taxi's will always favour travelling on a road or trail.
You can only summon taxi's when you are near a road or trail.
Destinations can only be set near a road or trail.
In the event that the road the destination is set to is not connected to the road they are starting at the taxi will drive off road finding the path lowest cost path (minimal slopes, avoiding monuments, etc)
Taxi's are equipped with collision sensors and obstacle avoidance, but it's not perfect.
If the taxi is travelling off road and drives in to tree's it can not avoid it will knock them down
