Need help with formula that gives X extra gold for n charges of the item sold. Here are some examples:

1 charge on item sold -> 0 extra gold
2 charges on item sold -> 5 extra gold
3 charges on item sold -> 5+10=15 extra gold
4 charges on item sold -> 5+10+15=30 extra gold
5 charges on item sold -> 5+10+15+20=50 extra gold
etc.

The result must contain the gold for the charge 5x(n-1) plus the gold for all the charges smaller than it. Example:

If the item has 3 charges, then it must sell for 5x(3-1)+5x(2-1)+5x(1-1) = X gold, where X = 15


I need the math formula for this.

EDIT: Already got it. 5x[(n^2-n)/2)]

Now I have to know how to put this in the trigger.

If I'm not wrong "Arithmetics" only allows for simple operations.

The gold has to be added to triggering player.

I started worldediting yesterday so if you also wanna provide a trigger I'll take a look at it but I'm quite good at GUI anyway.

this could be easily done if you're good at math, but i am not, xD.. haha hmm.. you can do it with the arithmetic, or you can have this:
add 5 x (0+(2 x number of charges) to player 1(red) current gold

That formula is wrong. :/
I think it should contain at least a square.

lol, I didn't say that that was the correct formula, I'm just giving you a different and more simpler formula.. haha.. xD

Or make a variable.

Trigger 1

Unit sells an item
Item sold = Your Item
Set Variable_X = Variable_X + 1

Trigger 2

Unit dies
Your Condition (if any)
Add 5 x Variable_X to owner of killing unit.

Something like that.

this is my trigger below, just change the last created item, to any variable you want.. O_O
Trigger:
  • Actions
    • Player - Add (5 x ((((Charges remaining in (Last created item)) x (Charges remaining in (Last created item))) - (Charges remaining in (Last created item))) / 2)) to Player 1 (Red) Current gold

For anyone thats interested, it's a quadratic sequence: 0, 5, 15, 30, 50
with the Formula Tn = 2.5x[(n^2) - n].
Now all you have to do, is check the number of charges on the item when it's sold, save it to a Integer "charges"
Then trigger the gold given to the player that sold the item.
Player - Add (2.5x[(n^2) - n]) to Selling player's Current Gold Where n is your number of charges charges.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
