Chest

[William]

Decided to add a simple chest to my game:

so how many different chests can you have on one map and how do you open a chest ?

[jasoncannon]

i am so looking at your chest right now........... :mrgreen: looks good

[Jestar]

So do you carry the chest in your inventory? or is it like in a bank? either way, nice job.

Why did I hope to see boobs when I clicked this?

I don't quite see where the chest is. By chest, you mean like a personal storage / deposit box dealie? Or a chest like "You opened the chest and found a Sword of Awesome"?

It says deposit and withdraw >

I've seen quite a few games that allow you to put stuff in public chests as well as take out from them, so I didn't want to jump to conclusions.

theres pros and cons really to the whole chest idea. you can either do it by the map, which is pretty lazy and means only 1 chest per map, or you can make them based on an x and y position so you could have all sorts of containers on one map, for instance.
Your in a weapons shop and there is 3 barrels in the corner, you would be able to put the item in any of the 3 barrels without them conflicting with the item.

So how did you set a chest system up? I created mine based on on each purchase or creation, the bag creates a file with its own identifier number so it can retain the items when traded and dropped.

[William]

I made the chest map based, so you can only open it on that map.

If Getplayermap(index) = 295 then
'chest
end if

It's a very simple system, but hey, a chest is very easy to make.

[Becoming]

be cool if you could do it by map x & y for barrels.

getplayerx and getplayery, takes 2 minutes to do. All I need to do is login and get the location. But I don't want people blocking the chest so I made it for that whole map.
