Give Mechanics their own MDC

[Ms.Somebody]

With the server doing away with script commands lately, I was communicating with my current faction of LSC, and thought of something that could save the future of /mechoffer as well of QoL mechanics.

A mechanic specific MDC(note: I do not actually know what MDC stands for, can be renamed as needed). In LSC specifically I roleplay using a pda to send invoices so it could literally be a pda for all I care, but it could be something else too.

Basically it is just like the MDC for pd/sd(whatever other faction uses the MDC), but specifically only for mechanics, you’d be able to select from the buttons “general repair”(your basic repair), “modifications”(everyone’s favorite), “parts repair”(specifically used for when people get their cars chopped), “car wash”(probably will go unused but since it’s a thing mechanics *can* do it may as well be added so it isn’t hidden), “mech requests”(so we can see if there are any active mech requests waiting(likely not to replace /mr number if that isn’t being done away with(I hope not))), and any other mechanic specific work that I cannot think of at this very moment.

Once you’ve selected one, so long as you have had the car you are working on selected beforehand(or however we want to rework this for simplicity somehow, someone else can add a suggestion to this), you then input the labor cost and send the invoice to the customer for them to accept or decline. Hanging off this idea is that under modifications it could show what the customer wants done to their car in an itemized and simplified list so that mechanics no longer have to get in and fiddle around with /mod view before figuring out the labor price to charge or what modifications are being done, they just know and can get started on planning out their rp beforehand.

If possible it’d be themed for each mechanic shop(Lsc, Bayview, Bennys), but alternatively it could just be a generic “Mechanics Buddy” themed app or some such.
