Instructions

At the moment, all you need to do is copy the variables, switch, and common events into your own game. Then copy one of the banker map events from the demo into your game and the loan banker map event into your game. You can paste as many of those banker map events and loan banker map events as you want. Each bank map event starts up the banking processing. The Loan banker map event starts up a series of complex common events.

Author's Notes

Very easy event system. You're welcome to raid the Audio folder and use the Coins SFX in your game for free and no credits. Also, I included a small character sheet for above head banker icons. You'll notice it in the demo. Feel free to use those in your game as well, though you need to credit me, grafikal, if you do use it.

Updated demo to RMRK+ Format

Another update, 2.1.

redyugi fixed some Script Event Command to allow for decimals and a better use of Interest Rates. Interest rates are now able to be dynamic. You're not limited to having a single interest rate throughout your entire game without major modifications. It's now simple as changing the value of 1 variable to change the interest rates dynamically.

3.0 Update
Implemented a sweet ass loan system. Instructions are drooling from the comments in the event system. redyugi really helped out.

This is a big file. lol. I downloading now (due to my need of a bank system). I'll report back any problems or possible updates. Nice job, grafikal

[Grafikal]

Yeah it's a little large because of the image files I used in it. There's a little eye candy for the the explanation of how to use the Loans in the demo, I would suggest playing the demo before looking at the code. It's more fun that way lol, or at least test playing.

[Cascading Dragon]

Haha. Thats nice. I did like the nice picture tutorial.

A couple suggestions
1)for every so often, the loan collects interest. EX. every 10 mins, 2% of the loan is added on. A $500 loan would gain 10, then another 10, another 10, then 11. You get the picture.
2)Make a checking account. Or give the player a few checks, that calls a common event that would give the player money, based on how much they have in their account. EX. Player has 500 in account. He writes a check for 200. Gets 200. EX 2. Player has 500. Writes check for 600. Gets no money, and -100 from account due to over withdrawal fees.

[Cascading Dragon]

I second what Kipe said.

There is a spelling error. You have "Withdrawl" but its actually "Withdrawal"

[Grafikal]

Nice finds, those seem easy to fix. I'll do those a little later, thanks for the comments =)
