Snippet A betting system on arena type duels

[Troll-Brain]

not that i am againt changing the 12 actions for the 5 time just isnt that tomato toemato[so you know what i mean i added the e]?

You still don't understand it's like use X + 1 + 1, instead of X + 2.
Also at least you need to add a condition, the case i did mentionned is still possible.

and if i say i like redundency cause thats natures backup system?
is this what you mean?
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing (Substring(-bet , 1, 5)) as A substring
to
Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -bet as A substring

Just test it, you will see that you need the condition i said ...
And so for the events, yes do it

 

[CaptDeath]

yeah so lets see just this one trigger has 12*6 changes thats 72 changes just for the events ok ill update soon

Doesn't matter. He didn't double post anyway.

> so any comments from some one whos actually used this?
I don't really see how it's even usable.
You just type -bet [All your gold], -w and -p. Then you have loads of gold.

And add that condition, even Troll, who was against it is now for it.

 

[CaptDeath]

Ughh
its for an arena if you opened the fing map it explicitly states you need to change the win and payment trigger
and i changed it to what you wanted if you read the updated triggers

 

[Romek]

Instead of making the user have to change it, why don't you make a periodic event, where a random player which gambled would be chosen, and would win. maybe make it so it won't work if there are less than 4 gamblers (If there are, then just refund the money).
At least this way, the user would (probably) just have to change the timeout, if anything. Instead of having to mess around with the events of the other triggers.

 

[CaptDeath]

well the idea behind this is you import this and change it around cause it said arena betting system
well when hero x goes up to fight hero b to the death you get the otion to bet on the fight and the people who bet on the winner gets paid now how bout you tell me how in the hell i could set it up so all youd have to do is import

 

[Romek]

Well, you'd obviously be required to change it if you're going to make a map like that.
But I'm guessing the majority of users would just want a periodic "lottery" type thing. So set it up to do that, and make it easy to modify.
Most systems and snippets probably need to be configured for certain users. But they should all still 'be usable' after a simple import.

 

[CaptDeath]

i was working on a gamble trigger but it didnt want to work but ill see what i can do

 

[SerraAvenger]

> did you read my post?^^
No, because you didn't read my one which explains why you're wrong.


I don't think you're trying to understand me.
The Substring does nothing more than the normal "-bet " would do. It's just a waste of space, and an extra function call. A condition is required to avoid people typing "329847-bet ". If you don't believe me, try it with simple "Game - Display Text" actions.

Can't you just stop using "as a substring" ?

 

[Romek]

Can't you just stop using "as a substring" ?

Stop using it altogether?
No, obviously he can't...

And he's stopped using it in the event now, incase you didn't realise. (If that's what you meant)

 

[CaptDeath]

if there was no as a substring then it would only fire on
(-bet ) and then there wouldn't be an amount bet
and i didnt stop i just removed my redundancy in having it get the substing twice so i added a condition which that alone made the map .25 of a kb smaller w00t now its like 12kbs

 

[Ryuu]

All right, all right, all right.
I don't really understand the point of the system.

What does -bet, -w and -p do?

 

[CaptDeath]

well its for a hero arena and you change the -w and -p triggers cause you change that for konwing when you side of the arena one -w and then when you pay them -p you chnage those in your map cause there is no way i could set that up universally but the -w, and -p cmds are they to see that it works just needs to be adjuster case by case

 

[emjlr3]

you need to add odds in too, which dynamically update based on betting trends

 

[CaptDeath]

what do you mean odds? and do they increas beneficial or not?

 

[emjlr3]

in RL, betting trends effect betting odds

if there is 5-1 odds against something, and I bet for it, and win, I get 5x my money.

however, if lots of ppl start betting that way, the odds change, and may move to 4-1

 

[CaptDeath]

well thats more of a system and not a snippet
maybie over the weekend i make that

 

[emjlr3]

you called this a system...
