Using ruby's as a currency

[DutchDevil]

Im trying to use ruby's as a currency but it doesnt take out the ruby from its inventory or adds one ony one can help?

[Namindu]

We need more info.

[DutchDevil]

Well a ruby is a gem. I want to use it as a higher currency like 1 ruby = 12 briefcases.

Atm my vehicles are listed to buy with ruby's but it does not take the ruby out of the inventory and also does not put one in the inventory when sold.

 

How can i do this?

[fr1nk]

Need to adjust the 'afile' of trader items using gems as currency.

 

e.g. trade_weapons -> trade_weapons_old

[daveslayerv1]

can you expand on that please fr1nk?? 

ie: what file needs to be modified?

i an trying to add a few unique items to the traders with a unique item so only detonators with a certain magazine can purchase them, :D

It's not "a file", it is "afile"

 

it is in the database under traders_data

[calamity]

what Fr1nk is saying is. you need to add _old to the trader insert like this....

 

INSERT INTO `Traders_DATA` (`item`,`qty`,`buy`,`sell`,`order`,`tid`,`afile`) VALUES
('["ItemEmerald",1]', 100, '[10,"ItemBriefcase100oz",1]', '[10,"ItemBriefcase100oz",1]',0,702, 'trade_items_old')

note the _old 

 

'trade_items_old'

'trade_weapons_old'

This to me looks like you're selling the ItemEmerald for gold. I could be wrong I am VERY new to this. I am also looking for a way to use gems as a currency. For example: I would like to make the BRDM2_INS buy and sell for 2 Topaz gems. Is what you posted the correct way to do that as well?

 

Sorry If this seems silly to you, but like I said I am very new.

 

 

Would this work?

 

class BRDM2_INS {

        type = "trade_any_vehicle_old";

        buy[] = {2,"ItemTopaz"};

        sell[] = {1,"ItemTopaz"};

    };

[DangerRuss]

yes

Is it possible to items such as gems for items (trade_old) with config trader + single currency (gold coins) ?

if you're using the mission side config trader files with single currency, just add the gems to the traders, you dont need to do anything fancy at all. Add them like a regular item.

At least for Souls version that is not correct. It will simply ignore the gems and still ask for coins

I am using souls, and it is completely correct, as my traders both buy and sell gems.

class ItemTopaz{
	    type = "trade_items";                 
		buy[] ={1000,"Coins"};
		sell[] ={1000,"Coins"};
       };
	
	class ItemObsidian{
	    type = "trade_items";                 
		buy[] ={1000,"Coins"};
		sell[] ={1000,"Coins"};
       };
	
	class ItemSapphire{
	    type = "trade_items";                 
		buy[] ={1000,"Coins"};
		sell[] ={1000,"Coins"};
       };
	
	class ItemAmethyst{
	    type = "trade_items";

		sell[] ={1000,"Coins"};
       };
	
	class ItemCitrine{
	    type = "trade_items";                 
		buy[] ={1000,"Coins"};
		sell[] ={1000,"Coins"};
       };
	
	class ItemRuby{

Misunderstood as it seems. Was thinking about Buying/Selling using gems

oh yea Im not sure if that would be possible or not.

[Nekuan]

Title confused me a bit :D

It propably is possible but not without changing the code
