Release/Tutorial - Vending Machine

[Thug]

Also can someone tell me how to use the Spoiler?

If you copied ZeroKool's script then the vending machine will only work if it's a MAP_Vending_Machine.

My server is a Taviana one and i needed to add one myself

[Thug]

Just found that out myself, the MAP_Vending_Machine. i first set it to Land_Vending_Machine lol

My machine is only putting out beer, not a bad thing. Why?  Is Beer    ItemSodaRabbit

[BetterDeadThanZed]

ZeroK00L, thanks

Question and not trying to be smart, but why would you charge for sodas when in my chernarus server i am tripping over them?

 

On my server, the vending machines have a little under a 10% chance to spawn an orange sherbert. You pay 10oz silver and if you get the orange sherbert, you can sell it to the rare food and drinks trader I created and sell it for 1oz of gold. It's kind of like gambling. :)

See, endless possebilities! :D

Like the way you think BetterDeadThanZed

After installing this script, I had another idea... place an object, such as a cash register, and players have to pay a set amount and in return they get some money back. It might be more than they paid, or it might be less, or it might be something useless like a tin can or a razor. A sort-of slot machine.

I like that ideal

So if all i want to sell is Beer (ItemSodaRabbit) in the machines, what would the script  be then and i mean ZeroKOOL's script. In the mean time i will be looking in the forums for the anwser. I thank you in advance for any help.

private["_playerPos","_canVend"];

call gear_ui_init;
_playerPos = getPosATL player;
_canVend = count nearestObjects [_playerPos, ["MAP_vending_machine"], 4] > 0;
_soda = ["ItemSodaRabbit","ItemSodaOrangeSherbet","ItemSodaLvg","ItemSodaClays","ItemSodaSmasht","ItemSodaPepsi","ItemSodaMdew","ItemSodaCoke","ItemSodaLemonade"];

if (_canVend) then {
            
            playsound "vendingmachine";
            sleep 2;
            player playActionNow "PutDown";
            player addMagazine 'ItemSodaRabbit';
            cutText ["You received a Soda from the Vending Machine!", "PLAIN DOWN"];
};

I think the original script from ZeroK00l only puts ItemSodaRabbit in the players inv. (look at the player addMagazine line)

The version BetterDeadThanZed posted randomly picks a soda defined in the list

something here [/spoiler ] <- Without the space on the end of course.

[Spodermayt]

Spodermayt, did you get that to work on your server, if so can you give me your ip, port, and server name so i can come check it out?

Its right on my signature ;)

done

That will also work :P

Modified this a bit ;)

Only for SingleCurrency

Will this work with Zupas V3 coin? Would all i have to do is change CurrencyName to cashMoney?

@BetterDeadThanZed: and you can just delete the if (_hasCash) as the script leaves already before if not.

Hey did anyone have a problem with the sound for the vending machine? Everything else works. I just don't hear anything when i buy.

I have the file vendingmachine.ogg in the vending folder. All my other sounds work i.e. Origins doors, metal gates.

This is what i have in my description.ext

 

#include "custom\extra_rc.hpp"

 

class CfgSounds

{

sounds[] = {};

 

class DoorCreak

    {

name="DoorCreak";

sound[]={sounds\doorCreak.ogg, 0.1, 1};

titles[] = {};

    };

class metalGates

    {

name="metalGates";

sound[]={sounds\metalGates.ogg, 0.1, 1};

titles[] = {};

    };

class stronghold

{

name = "stronghold";

sound[] = {sounds\vrata_sound.ogg,0.1,1};

titles[] = {};

    };

class vendingmachine

    {

    name="vendingmachine";

    sound[]={Vending\vendingmachine.ogg,0.9,1};

    titles[] = {};

};

};

 

#include "custom\snap_pro\snappoints.hpp"

this is how I have sounds 

 

class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] ={doorCreak,metalGates,vrata_sound,vendingmachine};


class DoorCreak
    {
name="DoorCreak";
sound[]={sounds\doorCreak.ogg, 0.1, 1};
titles[] = {};
    };
class metalGates
    {
name="metalGates";
sound[]={sounds\metalGates.ogg, 0.1, 1};
titles[] = {};
    };
class stronghold
{
name = "stronghold";
sound[] = {sounds\vrata_sound.ogg,0.1,1};
titles[] = {};
    };
class vendingmachine
    {
    name="vendingmachine";
    sound[]={Vending\vendingmachine.ogg,0.9,1};
    titles[] = {};
};
};

shows in instructions to have a \vending\

 

sound[]={\Vending\vendingmachine.ogg,0.9,1};

 

not so sure why there is that \vending
