Slot Machine - A Possibility?

In one TD, I want to incorporate a building, say it's called the "Casino", that, when the builder is close, he can select an ability at the building called "Play Slots" or something. He chooses one of three increments of gold and the gold is deducted from his amount. Then, I want the building to somehow generate three random numbers from 1-9, and confer to the player what was generated, in the exact order. The player then gets that amount of gold (say a 6,1, and 2 were rolled, that amount of gold would be 612) added to his/her current amount. The betting increments would be 100 (in which your roll is divided by three), 300 (in which your roll is divided by 2), and 500 (in which your roll is divided by 1, which means you get the full amount).

It's really complicated, I understand, and I want to have more of a discussion on how to make it, and work on smaller parts to add it up into one larger piece. If we can find any parts of it impossible, we could modify the original design, or abandon it (if it's completely impractical).

I think working on just a single-player TD would be a good start, then manipulating it for multiple-players later on. I'll get to working on possibile pieces to it right now. :D

lets just take it from the top

unit purchases a unit
unit purchased equal to 'slot machine'
set integerSlot1 equal to random number between 1 and 9
set integerSlot2 equal to random number between 1 and 9
set integerSlot3 equal to random number between 1 and 9
game - display text ((integer(integerSlot1))(integer(integerSlot2))(integer(integerSlot3)))

Sounds very cool. And while I may not be able to make it. I'm sure its possible. It sounds like it would be.

Are you sure this works? Shouldn't the Event be ''Generic Unit Event - A unit is sold'' and the condition ''Unit-type of Sold unit equal to YourUnit'' And since this is a Player Event, are you sure there is a triggering unit?

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
