[B42] Bus Stop Fast Travel
Adds admin-placed bus stops to any server. Players walk up to a stop, pick a destination, pay the fare, and are teleported with a cinematic fade transition. Fully server-authoritative — admins control every stop, price, and route.
How It Works
For Players
- Walk within range of a bus stop
- Right-click → Use bus stop: [name]
- The travel panel opens — search or scroll through available destinations
- Click a stop to select it and preview the fare, then click Travel to [name] to confirm
- The screen fades to black, you are teleported, and the screen fades back in
- If the destination has Return Trip enabled, a return button appears on your next visit
- A Random Trip button sends you to a surprise destination (if enabled by the server)
For Admins
- Right-click any tile → Build bus stop here → enter a name
- Right-click near an existing stop → Remove bus stop
- Right-click anywhere → Manage bus stops to open the full admin panel
Features
Travel Panel
- Search bar to filter destinations by name
- Scrollable list — works with any number of stops without clipping the screen
- Select-then-confirm flow — click a stop to preview name and fare, then confirm travel; no accidental trips
- Random Trip button — server picks a surprise destination; configurable price and optional toggle
Travel System
- Teleportation with full-screen fade to black and fade back
- Bus arrival and departure sound effects during the transition
- Arrival protection — zombies won't attack you for a few seconds after landing
- Countdown HUD showing remaining protection time
- Per-player sound volume preference: Off / Low / Medium / High, cycled from the travel panel
Stop Configuration
- Free — no cost to travel
- Fixed — flat fare multiplied by the stop's price multiplier
- Dynamic — fare calculated by distance, scaled by base price, price-per-tile, and multiplier
- Available toggle — disable a stop without deleting it; hidden from players and unavailable as a destination
- Return Trip — when enabled, traveling to this stop remembers your origin so you can return in one click without cost
Economy Integration
- By default fares are paid with an inventory item (Base.Money or any custom item)
- Bank mods can integrate as the payment backend by exposing a simple 3-function Lua API
- Items and bank can be active simultaneously — items are deducted first, bank covers any shortfall
- Includes a ready-made bridge example for Survivor Shop

Admin Panel
- Lists all stops with their coordinates, price type, multiplier, and status
- Edit any field inline and save
- Go To — teleports the admin directly to a stop
- Delete Stop — removes the stop from the registry immediately
Map Markers
- Every active stop appears as an icon on the in-game map
- Click a marker to see the stop name
