Rins exchange

[Datal]

Does anyone know, how to make a currency exchange in T ? (code?)
I just want to have posibility to exchange rins into money, and money into rins. That's all.

Sorry to blow out your candle. But there is already a mod for that. Called ares rins to credits. Found on xelerus

I think he means just a strict ability to translate credits into Rins. Being able to trade credits into rins through an addition to say a Teraton or Ringer station through a slightly modified dock screen would be neat.

All I know is the Credit to Rin is : 5 credits to 1 Rin :

rins are just a data point stored on the player ship
so to convert credits to rins is very simple,

Code: Select all

; get data form screen counter 
(setq credits (scrGetCounter gScreen))

; do the rest for the math 
(setq rin (divide credits 5))
(objIncData gPlayerShip "rins" rin)
(plyCharge gPlayer credits)

; finally tell the player what happend 
(setq desc (cat  " " credits " credits have been withdwarn from you account and " rin " rins have been deposited. "))

simple really if you want to get more complicated then you could make a fee that the ringers take

Code: Select all

; get data form screen counter 
(setq credits (scrGetCounter gScreen))

; get a % fee 
(setq rate (random 2 5))
(setq fee  (multiply (divide credits 100)  rate ))

; do the rest for the math 
(setq rin (divide credits 5))
(objIncData gPlayerShip "rins" rin)
(setq total (add fee credits))
(plyCharge gPlayer total)

; tell player 
(setq desc (cat  " " credits " credits have been withdrawn from you account and " rin " rins have been deposited. A fee of " fee " credits was automatically removed form you account"))

all of the code is taken form here that has the dock screens setup as well
(p.s. my code there is a bit messy sorry)
