Probably not the first script someone should make... :P

Start by learning SQF.

It's not exactly the first one but as you can see by my avatar, I'm still a noob...But anyways is there any good pdf tutorials, or videos of some sort? :)

I just posted a link to one... ;)

Everything starts from algorithm. The problem is that if you want some kind of graphical UI and MP compatibility (especially if it should be persistant) then this isn't an easy one to script...

Yeah, Well, I'm planning to make in MP compatible later...Any good tutorials on that? ^-^

Not a specific money-system tutorial, no. Having tutorials for every single script would be impossibility.

Well, Do you know how? ;)

Yes, but wouldn't that mean I'd have to script it for you..? ;)

There might be some currency scripts already. Try searching them either here in the forums or on armaholic.

As an example, How do you edit varibles from another script?

[Gekkibi 11]

Commands I'd use to store the amount of currency the player has: setVariable, getVariable. Arma 3 control commands for the graphical UI. When player uses the graphical UI and buys a weapon, the script uses addWeapon. If player buys a vehicle, then createVehicle.

As you can see, it's pretty hard to give tips without scripting it for you. ;)

Edit: if the variable is global, you can use it in other scripts.

Can you give an example please? :p

Of what? Script X uses variables script Y created?

// script Y

myVariable = 1;

// scripy X

hint format ["%1", myVariable]; // prints 1

Local variables can't be used this way. Everything you need is in BIKI. You just have to start from basic algorithm and build it from there. ;)

_suspect = _this select 0;

_interigator = _this select 1;

_interigate_action = _this select 2;

detainMoney = p1_money - 10;

_interigator playmove "AinvPknlMstpSnonWrflDnon_medic3";

_suspect playmove "amovpercmstpssurwnondnon";

sleep 3;

_interigator playmove "";

_suspect enablesimulation false;

hintSilent "he is detained.";

_interigator setVariable ["p1_money",detainMoney , true];

hint Format ['you have %1 dollars', p1_money];

// arrest him

_suspect addAction ['Order to follow!','follow.sqf'];

// uncuff him

_suspect addAction ['uncuff him', 'uncuff.sqf', '_interigate_action'];

_suspect removeAction 0;

In my other script there is a variable called p1_money, I want to make it so when someone detains someone they get -10 dollars, This script doesn't work atm, Any ideas on how to fix that?

I recommend reading focker's arma 3 scripting guide, it's on armaholic and covers setVariable.

I already did, Thankyou anyways. :)

Instead of using hard coded variables, use variables on the players or the server or something. This post here has an example of buying weapons using this system.

I'll try to figure out what you mean, Thankyou.

I looked at you're link but do you mind explaining how exactly it works?
