It would be nice if anyone of you guys could make a " Pay for Power " program for me! I would really appreciate if anyone could make it for me!

Thanks!

Let's assume for a moment that anyone out there might be interested in writing a whole script for you - they'd probably find it easier if you explained what you actually want it to do. You're leaving a lot to the imagination, here.

pastebin run R3ShNQ2X

That'll install the script for you!

That's not how it works here.

While you are, of course, allowed to ask for someone to write a Program for you, it is very unlikely someone is actually going to do it.
Instead I suggest you learn Lua and the CC APIs and then ask in the "Ask a Pro" Section when you get stuck somewhere.

And even if someone is willing to do it I atleast think OP could give them some Krist or something for their work.

I feel like if the person asking for a program had any krist, they could probably do it themselves.

I will not write everything for you, but here is three different ways the program could work in general:

You will not be able to connect your customers base with a cable and messure how much power goes through that cable. Different types of power work in different ways but I don't think any type allows this to be done easy.

If a cable or power storage block can be controlled by redstone you can take payment for the number of seconds you allow power through. Make sure your own battery don't empty, your customers will be angry if they don't get what they payed for.

You can take a empty battery + money and give the customer a fully charged battery. If the battery keeps it content then broken.
