Money system...

[Waterman]

I think I get what you mean... just need to clarify some stuff...

Code: [Select]

["init",unitname,startinMoneyAmmount(number)] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs" Does that go in the persons init field or someplace else like the init.sqs?

and...

Code: [Select]

["show",unitname] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"where does that go? How do you get that option in the action menu?

and...

Code: [Select]

["add_remove",unitname,ammount(can b negative number or positive number)] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"I take thats for if someone wants to buy a car say... so you would use a negative number to subtract money from a players account.  For wages you would use same code but use positive number, right?

And what is this "action menu" script your talking about?

Sorry for being a pain. I can usually understand you but when you talk about scripting and type like that, it gets hard to understand... ;D

Cheers,
Waterman.

lol ;D k here is wat u need ;D

1. Yes

2. make action like : show money (or somin like dat) and in da action script do

Code: [Select]

["show",_this select 1] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
exit

3. yes

4. just 2 buy da line u need is (in da action script)

["add_remove",_this select 1,ammount(can b negative number or positive number)] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"

so every1 who uses da action pays from his own money ;D

:cheers:

It's giving me all sorts of errors...

For a start is doen't like when you use "_this select 1"

I created a script called "action.sqs" and put this in it:

Code: [Select]

["show money",player5] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["add_remove",player5,20000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
exit
where player5 is me.
When I try and activate it via a trigger "On Activation field" using "[] exec action.sqs", I get an error message.

For this init.sqs I put:

Code: [Select]

LCD_Swiss_Bank=[]
["init",player1,100000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["init",player2,100000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["init",player3,100000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["init",player4,100000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["init",player5,100000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["init",player6,100000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["init",player7,100000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["init",player8,100000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
What am I doing wrong now?

[LCD]

lol

["show money",player5] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"

should b

["show",player5] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"

 

read carefully

Right I have no errors now, but it only shows you the money you have for a short time even if you have the trigger activated repeatedly.  It would also be nice to make the option available via the action menu.

Also how do I go about the shop thing?

I know this comes into it:

["add_remove",player5,20000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"

but how do I make the option in the action menu like: "Buy Ferrari for $80000" appear? then make the car appear at a spot? I only want this option to appear when near a certain building.

I know I being a pain, but you missed out bits...

Sorry,
Waterman.

[LCD]

lol make da place and in its init write

this addaction ["Buy Ferrari for $80000","scripotname.sqs]

now in da script make

Code: [Select]

_man = _this select 1
["add_remove",_man,80000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
and use createvehicle 2 create da car werever u want

How would one interact with those money in another script?

For example if I wanted an action not to appear in a shop if I didn't have enough money.

Could I do something like tihs:

? (money <= 1000): goto "end"

or do I have to call the swiss_bank script. If so, how?

[LCD]

 
i know i forgot somin ;D

ill make somkin p nd put it here tomoz

[stalin]

Thanks. I really like that swiss_bank script..  thinking about using it in a mission if the problem can be solved.  

[Waterman]

Emm... how do I use createvehicle?
To be more precise, how do I get the vehicle to appear when the option in the action menu is selected?

Cheers,
Waterman.

[LCD]

_name = "vehicletype" createvehicle position

LCD OUT

[Waterman]

Right. I have almost got this figured out...

Just one last question...

Rather than typing out lots of different scripts, is there something I can use instead of each players name? At the moment, this is what I have got:

Code: [Select]

["show",player8] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
_man = _this select 1
["add_remove",_man,-80000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"

vendor sidechat "Thank you for the purchase"
~5
"F360" CreateVehicle getmarkerpos "vendor"
["show",player8] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
exit
Rather than using "player8" or "player whatever", can I use somethng that will apply for any player? Is it something like "_man" or something or is it just "player".

Cheers,
Waterman.

[LCD]

just use da man ;D

 
_man = _this select 1
["show",_man] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
["add_remove",_man,-80000] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"

vendor sidechat "Thank you for the purchase"
~5
"F360" CreateVehicle getmarkerpos "vendor"
["show",_man] exec "LCD_Swiss_Bank.sqs"
exit


i think u need 2 put name b4 da createvehicle ;D
