Economic script Needed

[KA-KUI]

I'm Looking for a saviour out there to write a money making script for a civilian based multiplayer map I'm making.

What I need:

An area on a map where you would go to pick up one of five package's. (Each package being a job that when its taken and delivered it would reward the player with money, then they could go pick up another package to be taken to a further away address for more money. This would need to be looped so there is always somewhere to go to earn money)
There would be 5 players using this script on a civilian team (Ungrouped).
A script to keep a check on how much money each player has would be needed aswell.
Is there anyone out there that could help me? Toadlife?..Anyone?

Well it's all pretty easy...

To keep track of the money you just need a global Variable. Like: "Player1money", then rewards could be added to it... And a script like this would be nice:

Showmoney1.sqs  

Code: [Select]

_msg = format ["Your money: %1",Player1money]
hint _msg
Put this in the init field of the player: [] exec "showmoney1.sqs"
And then your all set...

But note that you will need one of these files for each player.

This has basically been done.

There was a mission posted on the beta forum within the last month or two .... at least one.    Amd others in the past.     Have a look through and see what you can find.    Search the forum on "money" or something.      

un-pbo the missions and see what they did.    Obviously ask permission before you nick anybody's script, but as long as you give credit where its due nobody should mind.

Thx for the Reply,
macguba I've searched high and low for any scripts  to do with money but haven't found any other than the various scripts from the cops and robbers mod. But couldnt get them D'PBO'd properly.

Knowlife, The trouble is I havent got a clue how to script. I know what scripts can do, I just cant write them. I really just need a scripter who could help me out. (I know theres the training board but it wouldnt work for me).
Any one want to "physically" help, e-mail me at ka_kui13@hotmail.com
More detaiils on request

Well, (is't that a good word to start with). You've got a problem there. that is, you can't usaly find just the script you need. There's always that little thing that has to be modified... So i recomend you to find a good tutorial abut it.

But if you really want such a script, and you want it now, i can mail you the one i'm working on. It's a money script that feutures (nice spelling eh') the following:

 1. A number of gunrunners to trade weapons with. They can be placed anywhere on the map, and even set to move around.
 2. Each gunrunner will have a list of the weapons he currently have, you can buy and sell weapons of the list.
 3. Each (let's say) five minutes, the lists will be shuffeld so the game will get new weapons (and loose old) all the time. Of course, that time can be modified. Or removed...
 4. When the list shuffeles, the prises will also be changed. that way you can make money by buying arms cheep in one town, driveing to the next, and selling them...
 5. The script uses the action menu as input, and the hint box as output.

That's about it...
It' actualy almost done... Just need some prises regulated
Let me know if your interestet.
Here's a pic:

there was a guy, kevin foster, who made a perfect money script. I ve stolen it from him   but it is a hell of a job to make a good mission with money and trading in it.
sorry, Ive lost the script. but you can ask Kevin... Kevingrfoster@hotmail.com

Thx Totibbs Knowlife is scripting away in his lair helping me out :thumbsup:
The money angle is only a small part of what is planned. The map is being built around many scripts
Any other good scripters interested in helping with other MP scripts (Existing and new) for the map e-mail me @ ka_kui13@hotmail.com

Try this http://home.wi.rr.com/sow

maybe it comes close at least. It has the ability to save but you don't necessarily need it to.

You WILL need to customize it though
