Point taxing doesn't save

Pages: (1/4) > >>

Big Brother:

This is a mod made by Fluffy - basically, every 10 minutes you are taxed a small percentage of your points. Your points are stored as a client variable used in VCE and are used to buy stuff on my server. The problem is, after you get taxed - it doesn't save. You can load your game again by clicking a brick on my server and you'll get the points back that you lost from tax. Let me just say that I am not deleting this load brick, because it also loads lots of other information.

--- Quote ---$Interest::CutOff[0] = "100";
$Interest::Percentage[0] = "1";
$Interest::CutOff[2] = "20000";
$Interest::Percentage[2] = "4";
$Interest::TickTime = 10;

function intrestTick()
{
   cancel($interestTickShed);
   $interestTickShed = schedule(60000, 0, intrestTick);
   $InterestTickCount++;

   if($InterestTickCount < ($Interest::TickTime - 1))
   return;

   for(%i = 0; %i < clientGroup.getCount(); %i++)
   {
   %client = clientGroup.getObject(%i);
   %var = VariableGroup_8294.getVariabl e("Client", "points", %client);
   %num = %var;
   %per = 0;

   if(%var > $Interest::CutOff[0])
   {
   %per = %var * (0.01 * $Interest::Percentage[0]);
   %num = %var - %per;

   }

   if(%var > $Interest::CutOff[2])
   {
   %per = %var * (0.01 * $Interest::Percentage[2]);
   %num = %var - %per;

   }

   %num = mCeil(%num);
   %per = mCeil(%per);

   messageClient(%client, '', "\c2You have been taxed \c6" @ %per @ "\c2 points.");
   messageClient(%client, '', "\c2You now have a total of \c6" @ %num @ "\c2 points.");
   VariableGroup_8294.setVariabl e("Client", "points", %num, %client);
   %client.setScore(%num);
   }

   VariableGroup_8294.saveAllVar iables($VCE::Server::SavePath);
   $InterestTickCount = 0;
}

intrestTick();

That's the code. I'm going to take a swing that the following line has been giving me the business:
   VariableGroup_8294.saveAllVar iables($VCE::Server::SavePath);

So if anybody can find a way so that your points are saved straight after tax by fixing up this code, I'd be grateful.

I can't ask Fluffy because he's away.

man, waste of time. no help. :C

SpreadsPlague:

well your ID is 8294 and that number is 8294 so I assume it's saving only yours

I don't actually know how variable groups work though so don't quote me on anything :cookieMonster:

Headcrab Zombie:

This is why I don't approve of using VCE for gamemodes, especially when you mix it with script, it just complicates things.
To save your data, either write your own saving function, or use a default feature

No, silly. It doesn't work on me either.
