Slot Machine - A Possibility?

[WrathMonkey]

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.

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.

also in my little sudotrigger u might wanna add the action - remove bought unit from the game

here is my slot machine trigger if you want a demo map just ask
but if you want to be a smartie then try it your self

variables -

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?

 

[dannyboydude]

no because i have myn when u click the slots it automatically starts instead of buying a unit and it does work ive used this before
