Sashi 3 Posted May 25, 2018 i wrote this NPC for my server Sanctuary RO, with the intention of sharing since it took a lot of work to write i wanted to let other people use the same NPC or be able to edit it or take snippets from it to use in their own creations i'm designing the server economy to depend on cards so i wrote an NPC that will dispense coins every time a card is traded baised on how often that card is traded in by the whole server note that item 9204 is a custom item on my server and it will probably need to be changed there may have been easier or cleaner ways to write this NPC but it absolutely works, the only issue is if you have too many cards in your inventory the menu wont display them all but it requires a lot to hit that point cardshredder.txt 2 Khazou and Begin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnnieRuru 957 Posted May 30, 2018 I admit its cool idea, reminds me the card trader event I made long time agohttp://herc.ws/board/topic/11367-card-collector/ the problem is your script, and you should be glad you have posted on the board let me simplify it ... prontera,155,185,4 script Card Shredder 2_VENDING_MACHINE1,{ mes "[ Card Shredder ]"; mes "You can shred cards to earn premium currency"; mes "would you like to shred any cards? "; next; if ( select ( "Yes.", "No" ) == 2 ) close; mes "[ Card Shredder ]"; mes "Please select the card you wish to shred."; getinventorylist; for ( .@i = 0; .@i < @inventorylist_count; ++.@i ) { if ( getiteminfo( @inventorylist_id[.@i], ITEMINFO_TYPE ) == 6 ) { .@menu$ += getitemname( @inventorylist_id[.@i] ) +" "+ callsub( L_Coins, @inventorylist_id[.@i] ) +" Coins:"; .@cardid[.@c++] = @inventorylist_id[.@i]; } } .@menu$ += "No Card - Close"; next; .@s = select( .@menu$ ) -1; if ( .@s == .@c ) close; mes "[ Card Shredder ]"; mes "are you sure you want to shred a "+ getitemname( .@cardid[.@s] ) +" for "+ callsub( L_Coins, .@cardid[.@s] ) +" coins ?"; next; if ( select ( "Yes.", "No" ) == 2 ) close; delitem .@cardid[.@s], 1; getitem Poring_Coin, callsub( L_Coins, .@cardid[.@s] ); ++$cardid_shredded[ .@cardid[.@s] ]; close; L_Coins: if ( $cardid_shredded[ getarg(0) ] < 5 ) return 5; else if ( $cardid_shredded[ getarg(0) ] < 10 ) return 4; else if ( $cardid_shredded[ getarg(0) ] < 15 ) return 3; else if ( $cardid_shredded[ getarg(0) ] < 20 ) return 2; else return 1; } I made it in a way without using 2 permanent variables also found a bug though ... line 713 if (.@cardval < 1) set cardval,10; if (.@menu == 454) close; why do you set a permanent player variable ... there ? and about the issue about having too many cards in the menu, can be done with page systemhttps://rathena.org/board/topic/74630-help-array/ 1 Begin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Begin 11 Posted May 31, 2018 Is it possible to make another menu which is the MVP Cards = 10 Poring Coins? This is for high rate servers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnnieRuru 957 Posted May 31, 2018 L_Coins: if ( $cardid_shredded[ getarg(0) ] < 5 ) return 5; else if ( $cardid_shredded[ getarg(0) ] < 10 ) return 4; else if ( $cardid_shredded[ getarg(0) ] < 15 ) return 3; else if ( $cardid_shredded[ getarg(0) ] < 20 ) return 2; else return 1; I've read the original script, and in that script .... as you can see here the value will decrease the more players shred their cards although I also prefer to have a fix value ... though yes its possible ... but you want a fix value or a descending value ? you know ... if its a fix value ... then sounds like a card trader npc 1 Begin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is for high rate servers if you roam the DB and find the item numbers for the MVP cards yes absolutely, i considered setting a fixed rate for MVP cards also that was significantly higher then the rest, and its something i might do later. what was written took a few days it was enough work at the time on my lower rate server this will not be a huge issue since MVP Cards will almost never touch this NPC i decided it didn't warrant the extra work at the time of collecting the item numbers for the MVPs and adding that functionality to the script since the diminishing return effect would take a significant amount of time before it effects an MVP card on my server (MVP card drops are the stock 0.01% on my server) Edited July 10, 2018 by Sashi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
