Fluctuating prices

[juandayz]

hey.. i was thinking start to work in a fluctuating prices for trades cities.
Have think to ways. 1- using sql  2-using sqfs.
I cannot write anything in sql cuz i dont know nothing about it... so i decided the second way.

At first.. i need remove all content on mission.sqf (dayz_server.pbo/missions/instance/).
Second make a unique market..and put the AI traders again. 1 group of marchants for a standar prices and a Second Group for Fluctuating prices.
3- i will need rebuild the server_traders_cherno_11.sqf (coins system) with the new Ai traders and add new items/categories/prices to the .hpp files
into Config/Category/

To call the Ai traders i can use the init.sqf into :

Spoiler

if (isServer) then {
    call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "\z\addons\dayz_server\missions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\dynamic_vehicle.sqf";
    _nil = [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\missions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\mission.sqf";
    
    /*FLUCTUATING PRICES*/
    _fluctuatingprices =     [] execVM "custom\fluctuatingprices.sqf";
    /*FLUCTUATING PRICES*/
    

then into fluctuatingprices.sqf:
 

Spoiler

fn_spawtraders = {
all codes for spawn traders here.
};

_timeprice = 600;
waituntil {(round(time)) > 300};

 
    if (time > 300) then {
    [nil,nil,rTitleText,"Lower Prices at Market", "PLAIN",10] call RE;
    call fn_spawntraders;
    sleep _timeprice;
    deletevehicle all spawned in fn_spawncrate;
    
    };   

    
    
    
So my question is: to get all working i need delete all the original traders spawned with this line in init.sqf (_nil = [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\missions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\mission.sqf";)
and respawn again once server delete the AI spawned with the function fn_spawntraders.
This is possible? (despawn and respawn the original traders).

 

or maybe just make the buildings for trades cities into this line: _nil = [] execVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\missions\DayZ_Epoch_11.Chernarus\mission.sqf";

and into fluctuatingprices.sqf...  make 2 functions.. one for Ai traders with lowers prices and other with AI traders with normal prices..

something like this:

Spoiler

fn_spawtraders = {
all codes for spawn traders with normal prices here.

};

fn_spawtraderslowerprices = {
all codes for spawn traders with lower prices here.
};

_timeprice = 600;
waituntil {(round(time)) > 300};

 
    if (time > 300) then {
    [nil,nil,rTitleText,"Normal Prices at Market", "PLAIN",10] call RE;
    call fn_spawntraders;
    sleep _timeprice;
    deletevehicle all spawned in fn_spawncrate;
    
    };   

waituntil {(round(time)) > 900};

 
    if (time > 900) then {
    [nil,nil,rTitleText,"Lower Prices at Market", "PLAIN",10] call RE;
    call fn_spawntraderslowerprices;
    sleep _timeprice;
    deletevehicle all spawned in fn_spawncratelowerprices;
    
    };

What would be a neat addition to epoch (not overpoch) would be -

the traders have a certain amount of items.. And the item price gets higher as trader stocks get lower :-\ 

If you could get a system similar to that going the prices would always go up and down as stock diminish :)

And you could set up a delivery service like once every few days that re-fill the traders :-\

Players dont need to see a actual truck driving around the map stocking traders that could just be a automatic script thing that just happens every few days...

But yeah that just come to me while reading your idea :)

GL with your project :)

i got it for now:  if anyone have a better or clean idea about it please tell me :)
