Mystery Weapon

[balloon98]

I had this Idea. What if we had in /store a Mystery Box? you buy it for a set amount of points and you randomly get a weapon. Now obviously It wont include cannon, airstrike or nuke for the fact they have really high prices. So we could make it a set price of lets say 15.

I am not sure how hard this would be to code and I would love feedback.

RANDOM BOX AT HIS LEVEL.

 

[Chinner2]

I like the idea.

 

[DarthLego5679]

I would likely never use this. Why? Because most of the weapons would cost you the same or less if you just went and bought them normally, and then I know what I'm buying so it's more likely to be something I can use.
I just don't think it will be used much is all.

 

[balloon98]

well let me put it this way its like you have a chance to get a weapon for a cheaper price. So it can be used as a game of chance

Yes, but generally games of chance like that give you the least valued object. That's why so few people win the lottery.

 

[balloon98]

well we could have it programmed so it isnt as low I am still wondering about programming
EDIT: although I see where you are going about it not being that used

 

[Chinner2]

Also if it's a higher priced item then 15 points people could /sell it to make a profit.

With /sell being 100%, this will just be abused.

Make /sell 75%, WOOOO

 

[Alkatraz]

No, just no.

 

[balloon98]

No, just no.

Yeah I probably should have thought of /sell unless we actually do make it 75% sell but not sure if you would want that to happen

 

[Gameprochampion]

Or if possible, implement the idea AND make it unsellable.

 

[destroyerx1]

As long as the statistical expected gain isn't positive selling shouldn't be any kind of major issue. I have actually made a cmdblock script that gives a random weapon for a set cost when you click a block, but I never did anything with it.

As Gameprochampion suggested it being unsellable, I thought, Make that 1 item 50% selling rate? If that's possible of course. Although, I don't really like the idea itself.

 

[Celebrir]

Whatever you do with the weapon which you bought with that suggestion, if you keep it or use it, the next x amount of that weapon (x=how many you bought of them) you sell should be 50% of that price.

Then again if I remember on stuff what ksam or dest said, this will use much memory, I don't think that it will be added.

thats why either 2 things happen 1. we demolish this idea or 2. make it so selling items is 50% the cost to buy it

Hmm, I think we could give it a trial to see how it's received by players.

I agree with KingSam (I'm new to forums but not server). One, I'd like to see how many non-forum players like this. Two, I think players will like the oppurtunity to cast their vote in this matter.

 

[DarthLego5679]

Nice triple post you got there...
And trolling is against the rules on the forums too.

That would be really cool. Maybe a new way to get snowbombs.

I was thinking that the block could be a bookshelf that is dropped from the air, and by destroying it you get a item.
But maybe is would be hard to code...

Nope, snowbombs wouldn't be included, since they don't have a store value from which to work out the statistics. Besides, snowbombs are special items!

Also, just because we have 2 CTF maps in rotation, that doesn't mean we have to bloody copy everything other CTF servers do... Bookshelves falling from the sky and dropping loot when destroyed? Totally your idea..

Thought you were going to say care packages for COD XD

And no, snowbombs are only given out on special events.
