Setting Max Gold to 1Billion

[aphotica]

Hello
I was just wondering how I would go about changing the Max Gold to 1,000,000,000 in stead of 1,000,000 (default). I have checked this in the Game Play Constants, but could only find "Gold Mine-Max Gold-(Integer)." I have also tried making a trigger but was unable to find the settings to make it. Could someone please help me?

I don't believe that can be done. What you see alot of maps doing instead is having it so that when a player reaches their maximum gold amount, they receive 1 lumber, and they make 1 lumber represent 1 million.

you could just do a multiboard representing how much millions a player has got, im not sure how you would check it but it could work.

Eh?

What is the variable for cvar_gold?

You could do like how Hero Line Wars Custom does it, and use 1 lumber for every 200k. The player's gold is stored in an integer array.


--->Integer, btw. About cvar_gold.

I'd do the whole gold into lumber thing.
Even set it to something like 500K.

I'm not too sure how they do it.. maybe someone could make the trigger on a map and post it for me? I'm sort of confused, been working on this for a while

The thing is I cant have players have lumber, because then they can build another race. It would be like a cheat if they had lumber

 

[WolfieeifloW]

???
Just disable being able to pick another race after they pick their initial one.

 

[aphotica]

How does converting it to lumber do anything though? They need Gold to send units and their income makes their gold grow higher and higher.. I want it to be able to go past 1 million

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Because the lumber acts as a placeholder for 200,000 gold.
If the player's current gold >= 200,001, the game takes away 200,000 gold, and gives them 1 lumber.
If the player's current gold = 0 gold, if they have a lumber, the game takes away 1 lumber, and gives them 200,000 gold.

Yeah, what I suggest is do, when a player has greater than 2*X amount of gold, convert X amount of gold into one lumber. Then when the player drops below X amount of gold, restore one lumber.

So this means you can't have anything that costs more then 200k right?

 

[aphotica]

Oh ok, thats cool. I'll try that, but does anyone know how to just make it show that you have over 1,000,000 gold? I'm sure there must be some way to do this

 

[WolfieeifloW]

You can easily make the gold convert to lumber at 900k if you wanted...
And also, if something costs more then 200k, you can just easily make it cost X lumber and X gold...
Easily solved..

Do you want 1mil or 1bil? I think 1mil is possible?
