It would be awesome if this could be used with Wiremod so it could have uses in Sandbox as well as RP. I'm not saying it should only work with wire. It could still have many independent RP functions of its own, but then have uses with wire in sandbox mode as well. You could make something like a card scanner tool for wire that reads the card when you scan it using primary fire while near or looking at the scanner. Editing the information on the card could be done through another wire tool but really for editing the card it would be much more practical to just make a regular lua entity for use in both Sandbox and RP. (ex. card magnetizer, card writer, etc.) When the player presses the use key on this entity it could open a pop up menu in which you can edit the card. The amount of features that can be edited can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it. If you want to go all out you could make it so that the entity is actually the way you get the card as well as editing a card you already have. You could include premade types of cards (ex. Driver's license, basic ID card, Employee ID, Access card) as well as a do it yourself option to make custom cards and a way to permanently save the layout of customs cards. Now thats where you can get super creative if you want. Custom cards could be made by allowing players to select colors, drag and drop text boxes, designs, and pictures, change text into bar codes, and, for use with wiremod, set text boxes, pictures, and other features to output a desired value or value type. You could include the ability to add properties a card that enable the card to have passive functions such as holding money, allowing you to use vehicles, or preventing turrets or certain NPCs from attacking. This would probably be more trouble than its worth but I figured I'd just mention it. Good luck to you!
