Buying a house in the game Script

[Todne]

I want to make it so that in certain towns you can buy houses to live in. I was wondering if anyone could make me a script.

[ArkBennett]

Lol, why?
Just use events, I'm using events to do that on my game Shigo.
Scripts doesn't neccessarly half to solve every problem.
On top of that note, it's not always that good to stuff your game w/ alot of scripts 'cause it makes it'll make it lag.

Nice talking like me you pulled off there.

Anyway...

Ark is right, events will be useful.  Although if you have too many in the map it'll lag it up, but there is a script that lowers event lag!  Fear not!... Well I forget what it is, but what you want to do is easy with events, takes 5 minutes to start it up, an extra for each house.  Probably have hours of creation time on a script... maybe like 20~30.

lol but you guys didn't explain him how to make it..
here is a short example:

using door events do:

if switch(owned) = off then
-message: would you like to buy the house for 5k?
-show choices: yes/no
-if yes
--if money >= 5000 then
---change money: -5000
---switch(owned) = on
--else
---message: bah you don't have enough
-if no
--message: maybe later?
else
-teleport (house)

[ArkBennett]

Yeah I should've... My bad.
But Blue pretty much has it all.
See? That was so much more simpler than making a script.

but what about making furntiture items to put in and move around house
kinda like in animal crossing

[modern algebra]

You'd have to create furniture items first, and this might not be most efficient, but my initial thought would be to make a common event for each item, and have the item call its corresponding common event. Example: If you want a stool, then in the item tab on database, have a non-consumable item called "stool" which calls common event 'stool'. Now, make a switch "in house" which is turned on every time you enter house and turned off when you exit, as well make a switch called "stool drop". In the house, create an event called stool. Make it transparent, and check the box that says through. As well, make it's speed "Fastest" and it's Frequency "highest". Now, make a custom Move Route which is Repeat Action Move towards Player. Make a new event page in the same event. Have this one called by the switch: [Stool Drop], and make it's image a stool. Change it's speed to fast and it's frequency to high. Input this:

Code Select Expand


Text: Do you want to push it, pull it, pick it up, or leave it?
Show Choices: Push, Pull, Pick Up, Leave
When Push:
  Set Move Route Player (Ignore if Can't Move)
                 1 Step Forward
  Set Move Route [Stool] (Ignore if Can't Move)
                 Move toward Player
When Pull:
  Set Move Route Player (Ignore If Can't Move)
                 1 Step Back
  Set Move Route [Stool] (Ignore if Can't Move)
                 Move toward Player
When Pick Up:
  Control Switch: [Stool Drop] = OFF
  Change Items: [Stool] + 1
When Leave:
Branch End

Now, go to common events in the database, and define 'stool' to have a process similar to this:

Code Select Expand


Conditional Branch: Switch[in house] = ON
  Set Move Route [Stool]
                  Move Up
  Control Switch [Stool Drop] = ON
  Change Items [Stool], - 1
  Else
  Text: You cannot drop that here
Branch End


I haven't tested it, but it ought to work. Just post if you are having trouble. Note: If the item is not passable (a stool is), you will have to change the When [Push] to: Move Event: [Stool] move away from player, and put it before the Player Move.

Guys, i think i have this home thing settled, ill be making a housing system, where as you could buy a home, then purchase furniture to go along with it. It'll be a good profit maker, sorta like real estate. Every piece of furniture you buy, the home's value will go up. I'll post a tutorial on how to make this housing system, so if you're interested, then let me know.

Near Fantasica's Test Bed has a script in it that allows you to decorate a house. Check Creation Asylum if you want to check it out. It's a little buggy, though.
