tutorial request (more than 2 ressource)

Status
Not open for further replies.
So... i have a request. i want a way to have more than 2 kind of ressource. Only gold and lumber isn't enought for my map and i think that this tutorial will be useful for more people than only me.
So... what i want in the tutorial will be named below:

A board (leader or multi) with these information
(Icon)(name)---(amount owned by the player)-----(income for this ressource)
(Icon)(name)---(amount owned by the player)-----(income for this ressource)
(Icon)(name)---(amount owned by the player)-----(income for this ressource)
...
etc... for all ressource.

And a way to block the construction of a unit or a building if the player doesnt has enought ressource:
example:
If there is these ressource in the map:
Wood, Gold, Iron, Bronze, Steel, Money

the player owns these amount of these ressource:
Wood:100 , Gold: 225 , Iron:30 , Bronze:60 , Steel:40 , Money:200

and the unit cost:
20 wood, 100 gold, 50 iron, 40 bronze.
when the player click on the unit, A sound will be played (for error) and a message will be shown : Not enought Iron.
If there was not enought wood, it would said: Not enought Wood.
etc... etc...

That's all, if you can make a tutorial about that, it would be really great, thx ;)


Edit: sorry i forget this:
I need a way to increases the income variable and the amount owned variable

thx :)
 
It can be done in form of leaderboard or multiboard!
I recommend multiboard, but it can be hard or easy to be done!

First of all number of players can increase or decrease complex of this system!
Then resources!
-Resource like GOLD -> I can't help ya, I guess there is no way to to this!
-Resource like Lumber -> Can be done
-Resource like Food -> Can be done

and the unit cost:
20 wood, 100 gold, 50 iron, 40 bronze.
when the player click on the unit, A sound will be played (for error) and a message will be shown : Not enought Iron.
If there was not enought wood, it would said: Not enought Wood.
etc... etc...
Won't be displayed (well can be done with show message to players, quest or game one)
Resource can't be show as icon! But can be added to description!
Sound can be played also!
Train unit or not can be done!

Still this can be ugly or bothering, I recommend you to find other way to play with your map!

Oh I forgot to say: THIS ISN'T RIGHT FORUM TO REQUEST SOMETHING!
Use Requests instead! :thumbs_up:

I created a custom ressource system for my Age of Empires map.
It has 4 ressources (Flesh, Lumber, Stones, Gold) and has custom ressource gathering system like hunting and mining.
It's all GUI and MUI and MPI.
Just search my threads for the Map Development thread "Age of Empires 1"
There's somewhere an unprotected WIP map uploaded where you can look at the systems.
