Arma RPG

[dachevs 1]

I'm creating a mod for Arma---an RPG. Like Sahrani Life-----My Problem----when you buy a car, it takes the money from you and spawns the car near you---BUT if you dont have any money it still spawns the car near you-FOR FREE! :/

What can I do about this? ALSO: How can I make hte script remove money from different Civs, I tried to put the "Buy" action on the building for all civs--i.e. CarShop addaction ["Buy", "BLah.sqf"];

carShop addaction ["Buy", "Blah1.sqf"]---but when I previewed there were two buy actions., and if i selected the bottom one it removed the 2nd Civs money.

Can anyone help???

You only need to add the action to the building once and then all players can use that action and launch the same script.

if (!(player == _this select 1)) exitWith {};

if (money<_cost) exitWith {player groupchat "I dont have enough money to buy that item"};

money=money-_cost;

...script goes on creating car or whatever...

_cost is local in the script and money is local to the player.

HMMM>>>Wasnt quite clear enough really.

What I need is a script that removes the object, because it is an object in your inventory.

--So I need it to remove a certain amount of the object from your inventory, and check if that that amount of hte object is actually in your inventory. If you don't have enough of the object I need a hint or message to say something "You dont have enough to buy this car."

----Also I have an arrest script but how do I make it to where the police have the action to arrest the civ but the civ does not?

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_unit = _this select 0;

_maxRemove = _this select 1;

_i = 0

#removeLoop

_unit removeMagazine "className"

_i = _i + 1

?_i < _maxRemove : goto "removeLoop"

#Exit

Exit

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[playerName, numToRemove] exec "remove.sqs"

where the "className" is the className for your money or whatever you want to remove.

Thanks. MUCH APPRECIATED. THis is perfect!

*EDIT* Get error message

remove.sqs

Quote[/b] ]

_unit = _this select 0;

_maxRemove = _this select 1;

_i = 0

#removeLoop

_unit removeMagazine "RPO_obj3"

_i = _i + 1

?_i < _maxRemove : goto "removeLoop"

#Exit

Exit

[s1, 5] exec "remove.sqs"

I probably did alot wrong.

[lebson506th 0]

Try this.

(I don't know why that error is happening)

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_unit = _this select 0;

_maxRemove = _this select 1;

_i = 1

#removeLoop

_unit removeMagazine "RPO_obj3"

_i = _i + 1

?_i == _maxRemove : goto "Exit";

goto "removeLoop"

#Exit

Exit

If that doesn't work, i'll try something else =/

Ok thanks for your help, I'll check it out.

when you're calling the script, were you putting maxremove in quotes by mistake? That would turn it into a string (object) instead of a number, like it says in the screenshot. I might be way off, though, just a thought

I'm not sure

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[unit, 5] exec ...

Instead of

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[unit, "5"] exec ...

still don't works, same error. Don't have it in quotes.
