Title: Mining Engine Problem HELP!!!! (NOOB)
Post by: Eclipse on February 25, 2006, 02:51:25 AM
ok im making a mining engine and ive successfully made the rock in which you mine. it gives you Ore if you have a certain amout of strength and if you get the random number right.

BUT

during an attempt to make a ore melter (turns ore into a bar). ive been having lots of trouble. i need to know how to make a variable that does this.

<>Variable [#XXXX: IronOre] = = the amount of ore held

how can i do this!

this is my Mining Event:

I know the phrasing doesn't sound right. But it does what you need.
Variable Operation -> Item Possessed

The first one is for the mining, the second for making bars.

You can assign the variables before or after the choices, or as I said you can have them in a seperate parallel event. (having one before and one after in the mining event is just me being sloppy.)
