Deposit and Withdraw commands

[Celalith]

First of all, Hi!


I have been making my own Life of a Peasant map and I added a Bank, and now I want to add a few commands to the bank, like Deposit and Withdraw - You can deposit a random amount of gold to the bank and can later withdraw it.
The thing is I have no idea how to do it and would like some help.


Thanks in advance!

Look at my tutorial things a GUIer should know. There is a chapter on substrings. That is how u would do this.

 

[Celalith]

Yeah, I tried to make sense of that info, but I just don't understand variables.
Also with the withdraw command, It needs to know how much I have already added to the bank - so I can't withdraw more then I have added.
But thanks anyways.

u should learn about variables if u plan on doing any types of triggering. there are tutorials that show u wat variables are and how to use them. then u should take a look at my tutorial and the things that leak tutorial.
to check how much is in there u need a variable. to deposit u need a variable. to withdraw u need a variable. they are very easy to understand and i think u can understand them.

basically u would need an integer array variable for storing the gold. then u need a few temp variables. normally an integer and a player variable. and i believe that is all u need. u would need at minimum 1 trigger to do everything. two triggers in this case would probably be better tho.

first trigger u have the deposit gold. so -de x
were x is the gold amount.
then u need to use substrings to find out how much gold the person typed in.

give me a couple minutes and ill make a simple thing for u

ill leave notes so u can see wats happening

here is that trigger and how it works is explained if u have any questions feel free to ask.

this is the deposit trigger with plenty of notes. Ask questions if u need to

i also added a trigger just to tell the player how much gold he has.

here is that trigger

• gold check
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
    • Player - Player 12 (Brown) types a chat message containing -gc as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempPlayer = (Triggering player)
    • Set tempInt1 = (Player number of tempPlayer)
    • Player Group - Add tempPlayer to tempPlayerGroup
    • Game - Display to tempPlayerGroup the text: (You have + ((String(playersGoldDeposited[tempInt1])) + gold in your bank))
    • Player Group - Remove tempPlayer from tempPlayerGroup

here is a test map. just try it out you can deposit and withdraw gold. note that gold will be added to the player every 5 seconds so u can see how this works with more gold.

Word cannot describe how grateful I am ........ Thank you

 

[deathismyfriend]

np lol

 

[mckill2009]

Although gold usage is MPI...I think better to do it MUI, where gold is the bank's total money and each peasant/unit has it's own money, hashtable or unit indexer will take part of this...

Also you dont need that player group, just display a texttag on top of the bank or better yet, a message containing playersGoldDeposited[playerindex] gold...

 

[deathismyfriend]

its a banking system for players. so making it MUI is pointless.
a texttag is more processing i believe than displaying the message to the playerGroup
i never destroy the player group. i simply use it to add and remove that player at the time he triggers it so it is efficient. Its just like adding one unit to a unit group then removing that unit.
