I’m planning on having a form of in game currency that I’m not sure how to code. The idea is that the currency comes in the forms of copper, silver and gold, 100 coppers being worth 1 silver and 100 silvers being worth 1 gold. The trouble is, I’m not sure how I’d go about coding the game so that, on…

What about creating *if command checks at timed intervals and write conversion commands using the *if route?

You can work it around using the “modulo” mathematical operation . But I’m not a fan of modulo, so I’m not really sure how it’s proper application. :confused: I think I also saw a similar thread as yours, talking about 1 gold = 100 silvers = 10k coppers and it’s code in modulo, but that was a long …

use modulo math! I’m not sure what’s offered as far as truncation of decimals (does the default integer type coerce to integers?), but basically it looks like this, in pseudocode cash //this is the raw cash value used internally Gold //number of gold pieces Silver //number of silver pieces copp…

Not sure if this would work? *create copper 0 *create silver 0 *set copper 434 *gosub counter amount of copper = {copper} amount of silver = {silver} *label counter *if copper >= 100 *set copper - 100 *set silver + 1 *if copper >= 100 *goto counter *else *return I …

I think @UmbraLamia has the right idea, and then just put in a silver to gold converter in the same vein, if necessary. But yes, something on a loop.

@UmbraLamia , I’ve given it a try but I can’t get it to work. :disappointed:

I think it just needs the addition of $ before the brackets here: [image] UmbraLamia: amount of copper = {copper} amount of silver = {silver} amount of gold = {gold} Instead, if you use: amount of copper = ${copper} amount of silver = ${silver} amount of gold = ${gold} That should show …

I seem to remember reading somewhere that with the current version of choicescript, rather than using the % symbol (as in the example you linked—which is a really nifty example too, thank you), one has to use the word ‘modulo’ instead. Is that right?

That appears correct. It seems to have changed in mid October, 2016. [image] ChoiceScript's modulo operator is changing from "%" to "modulo" Announcements ChoiceScript’s modulo operator is changing from a simple percent sign % to the word modulo. If you’ve written code l…

As mentioned, the modulo operator can make this quite easy. Here’s a simplistic example I posted in a similar thread: New game - code advice regarding Wealth/Currency
