Money Barrel

[zeroed]

The money barrel is a way for players to get money and to help keep the shard clean. The players can drop weapons, armor, or clothing into the barrel and they will get 100 gold back every time. I wasn't able to test the script but it should work perfectly. If there are any errors let me know and please post the error so i can fix it.

This sounds a good idea, the only problem i see with the idea is that players could go to a NPC tailor for instance, buy 10 dresses for 60 gold, then take them to one of the barrels, put the dresses in and get 600gp, giving them a pure profit of 540gp for doing not very much.

you could always take out the clothing part so that only armor and weapons can be dropped in. I might make a second version where i am going to look up the price of items and make a big table that way they could drop anything in it and get how ever much a vendor would give them that way they don't have to search for vendors.

Or, perhaps, just set the barrel so that it gives a set amount for whatever item they put in. IE, sword, cloak etc gives say 10gp, and thats it for all the items. That way, would help keep the shard cleaner, help out players too. If the item was of significantly more value, then the players could place it on a vendor or sell to NPC.
Just a thought is all.

The point of this script isn't to replace vendors or anything. This is to help keep the shard clean and for those people who can't find the right vendor to sell stuff to and would just like to get rid of some stuff for some money.

Would it be possible to make the barrel give them 1/2 of what the item is worth selling when they drop it in? That would pretty much solve the problem, wouldn't it?

[zeroed]

Does anyone know if there is a vendor that buys everything? If there is i could then use that script to make bet prices but other wise it will take a long time to get the prices for everything put in.

why not give gold based on atributes of the item, that way ex items will always be worth more then normal ones, and weapons with extra propertys will be worth more then clothing

[zeroed]

thats a good idea. the one problem is that im not a uo fanatic so i really dont know what attribs are better than others. could you give me some ideas on what kind of things you think would be worth more than others?

As like it was on some Sphere servers, it wonderful idea to give players 'copper coin' for that items, which ones they can to trade for uniaue house design parts, special-hued clothes and other stuff that will make clean-keeping really worthable deed.
