I have a problem with a taking cash from player (i give him extra life & he have to pay). I solved it that way:
Code:

10 1 (204,28,4) PLAYER 0 0
20 (204,28,4) TRIGGER 1000 0
30 (199,40,4) BOMBSHOP 0 0 // bombshop to take cash
40 (199,40,4) TRIGGER 2000 1 // trigger to check if player drives a car and put car info into DUMMY
50 (194,40,4) POWERUP 15 0 // extra life
60 (194,40,4) DUMMY 0 0 // block to arrow (can't arrow on powerup?!)
70 (0,0,0) DUMMY 0 0 // dummy for current-driven car (it doesn't works)
80 (0,0,0) CARBOMB_TRIG 70 3000 // trigger to detect when the bomb is armed

-1

0 DONOWT 0 0 0 0 0

1000 STARTUP 20 0 -1 0 0
1010 ADD_A_LIFE 0 -1 -1 -1 5000

2000 IS_PED_IN_CAR 10 0 -1 0 0 // check if player drives a car
2010 GET_CAR_INFO 10 -1 0 70 0 // put car info into DUMMY

3000 DISABLE 80 0 0 0 0
3010 SETBOMB 70 0 0 0 0 // disarm unnecessary bomb in car
3020 POWERUP_ON 50 0 0 0 0 // creates powerup
3030 ARROW 60 0 0 0 0 // arrow on it
3040 IS_POWERUP_DONE 50 0 3040 -1 0 // check if player takes the powerup
3050 ENABLE 80 0 0 0 0
3070 ARROW_OFF 0 -1 -1 0 0

-1

Anyway: is there other option to take the cash from player?

This should really be in the Editing > General area. I take it you had to add the "bla bla bla" text to get around the anti-flames code which checks for capital letters?

You take away the cash by placing a bombshop on the square? I don't think that is a good solution because it means the vehicle will have a bomb fitted when the player just wanted an extra life. Nice use of CARBOMB_TRIG to make sure the money is actually taken away, though. Neat code with good comments, too.

There is no way to take money from the player directly. I think trying to do this should be avoided because it will never play well.

I agree, but I'm trying to make something similar to McDonald's - McDrive You know - you drives to the first window, order something, pay cash and drives to the second window to take, what you ordered. Some other ideas how to do it?

I think it would be funnier if you let the player steal all the stuff without paying. This is GTA, not The Sims!
