int question!

[Nockar]

Hi there! This should be a easy one for some one out there. I

It compiles fine.
You can give it a number value.
It gets consumed on db click.

But, when you db click it does not up the credits to what ever number you told it to. It set the credits to 0 (zero). So it looks like its not actually getting that number that you set some how.

It says, “You have received 0 credits” and changes your credits to 0. So if you had 251 credits get set to 0 credits.

Any ideas??

Excerpt form xmlspawner text file.

- added the static methods int GetCredits(Mobile m), bool TakeCredits(Mobile m, int credits),
and bool HasCredits(Mobile m, int credits) which external scripts can use to interface with
the Credits system.  Note, if a negative credits argument is passed to TakeCredits, it will
add to the players Credit total.  HasCredits and TakeCredits return a bool depending on whether
player has sufficient credits.

Cant seem to figure this out. Anyone know what i am dong wrong?

 

[GoldDraco13]

It appears to me that your passing the wrong int when you double click the deed, instead of taking the deeds credits, your taking the xml doc Credits.

Try this :

                    XmlQuestPoints.TakeCredits(from, Credits);
                        from.SendMessage("You have receaved {0} credits.", Credits);

 

[Nockar]

Thanks for the info. Getting closer.

When I made that change it says "You have receaved 100 credits"

But No credits are actully added to the total. It remains the same. XmlQuestPoints > Credits > is unchanged were as before it was set to 0.

 

[GoldDraco13]

Try passing a negative int, just by reading the comment above it seems that the xml (Which I don't use) system is set up to add to the total when a neg int passed!

 

[Nockar]

Good call. It work when I do a -100. Adds that amount.

On the deed it says -100 though. haha

 

[GoldDraco13]

You could change the name = "{0}" + ( Credits - ( Credits*2 ));

 

[Nockar]

from.SendMessage("You have receaved {0} credits.", + ( Credits - ( Credits*2 ));

Spits out the error
) expected

 

[Nockar]

Oh, i had a typo in there.

from.SendMessage("You have receaved {0} credits.", + ( Credits - ( Credits*2 )));

But it still shows as -100

 

[GoldDraco13]

Count the brackets you forgot one

 

[Nockar]

Ya, i added it the missing bracket!

It still does -100 though. ;o)

Any other ideas on that?

 

[GoldDraco13]

Try this,

First let me explain what I'm thinking, You make the credits on the deed set to the value you want shown, then to populate the Xml Credits with the identical value but in a negative, so by using the following line of code you can set the p.Credit to the neg value of the positive value of Credits. This way you can pass the negative value to xml and have a positive value in the deed to show the user.

p.Credits = (Credits - (Credits*2));

 

[FingersMcSteal]

You need to ADD m_Credits to the value p i think.
