I had an idea that you could print money if you brought a place with a printing press machine. Im not sure how you would do this in the script maybe if you buy the place (there only two places which have printing press machines) and then u generate money every few minutes or something.

This place is small and only has one printing machine so you would not make that much

This place is much bigger and has more printing machines so you would make more money

it is possible to do this but illogical
people would abuse it
i enjoy the idea of counterfeiting money but if done it would be like 50$ every half hour or so
-
yeah and course counterfeiting is illegal so you would have to pay the cops a % of your makings to make them
'look the other way' wink wink
-
If we want this in VCMP, we'll need to have it made differently into the game. Just press the button and "ta, ta, $200 right here" is a very bad idea, since people will abuse it and just keep doing the press button and get money very quickly.
A better idea than conterfeiting, on the other hand is make it more legal. Rather than making the money for yourself, you make the money for the government, or the bank. Maybe make it like you have to press something quickly and rapidly to generate a certain amount of money in a time limit given after starting the !generate money. Then, after the time limit, you get xxx money, and you must deliver it to either the government of the bank. Then it goes, "nice work, you get x% of $x".

Yeah!
Kinda Like a Minigame!

uhh I dislike things that you do like Money harvesting or button mashing...
This is an RPG server, so money should only be earned with RPG jobs... but that depend on the participation of more than one person.
I don't know if you understand this but it is my opinion.
:ps: I've been in many servers which have this kind of thing and I noticed that the players instead of RPing, they were too busy "harvesting money".
-
I agree, wata. Money generating is going to be a difficult idea to conclude and make. It's easy to abuse if we use the "ta ta, $200" and with the other method, people would become obsessed with that send money thing and hence continously use it.

what about if instead of printing money we printed porn magazines?
that way you would still have to sell them to get the money.
Maybe magazines could have an effect like raising your health your armor. due to the wanking.

lmao
Then u would have like...
!wank :rofl:

:lol: Though they were called money machines, but... :hurray:

Title says all, being able to make fake money in the priting press ( or printing works w/e ) .
/c printmoney - " The money is printing, sit back and wait. " / " The machine broke down! You will have to spend xxx$ to fix it "
/c collectmoney - " You have collected your money (xxx$) "
The money earned is up for discussion.
Buying materials at 24/7 to make the money is also a good idea.
-
Thought about that once.But it would be needed to cost alot ;)
Supported :)
-
Kudos to klaus for the idea... in January 2008 :lol:
-
Yeah it is a nice idea and may be a cooler option than the bank robbery thing.
However, if implemented, we need to ensure people won't sit on the place repeating commands whole day to make it lots, unlike the fishing and bank robbery thing.
-
Though i dont like money generation without any multiplayer part.
But you suggested kind of a gamble that you could even lose money if you are unlucky.
The machine broke down! You will have to spend xxx$ to fix it "
So, players wont sit all day long printing money for sure. Makes this a good Idea :)
But this thing can be abused. How?
Suppose guy A prints money and gets unlucky. He is gonna lose $1000.
But suppose he doesnt has $1000....means he will lose nothing.
See?...
He can always /c send his earnings to Guy B, and never make a loss...by keeping his Cash at $0.
So he's gonna be rich very soon when admins aint ingame.
-
Well the he would be needed to collect the 1000$ to repair it again,wouldnt he? ;)
-
Ok let's think a bit shall we?
Well the he would be needed to collect the 1000$ to repair it again,wouldnt he? ;)
Exactly,
" The machine broke down! You will have to spend xxx$ to fix it "
Notice the bold, it's up to the player if he wants to repair it or not, if he doesnt, bam! he cant print money.
Thus using cmd /c repairmachine and to make it harder, it could generate " You have managed to fix the machine " / " You couldn't fix the machine "
And if he failed fixing it he would still lose money for it.
And the machine can only be used once in xx time.
So this way really makes it like a shot in the dark. You can win money or lose it.

Lol klaus, but you suggested it in Jan 2008, now u hate it :O
No srsly the point is a way to get money and also to lose money and as i saidthe machine can only be used once in xx time.
Even if it is twice a day, it wont be fishing buttom smashing script.
-
Actually this Idea has Good things and Bad things = Fair :)

Hey guys. I just felt like dropping this here:
/me

Hey guys. I just felt like dropping this here:
/me
Please get off this board. You don't play the server, so certainly you don't see we are discussing new ways to get money.
Oh, and for your rich information, we used/were limited to global /me (and most of us still use it even with local chat) for a long time, way more than your something werid S/F something weird roleplay, so please ... thanks.
-
Please get off this board. You don't play the server
Lol exactly
-
Back to the Topic,will we? :)
-
Hey guys. I just felt like dropping this here:
/me
Around here we don't have 500k lotteries bro, so we need to make a living based on scripts.
On topic : What do you think daddy :O
-
The idea's supported by me. It can increase more roleplay, makes some money, u put urself in some risk, etc.
-
Up to how much can you make with the printing machines, if this idea really works out? Just wanted to know.
-
I dont really like it because it doesnt have any multiplayer part in it.
But since it is getting much support from users, this will be added.
If someone can suggest a way in which theres involvement of more than one player....it will be better. So please keep thinking ;)
-
it doesnt have any multiplayer part in it.
Why don't we just, " You need an extra set of hands to print the money "
for example, [TAC]Marco types /c printmoney, the message pops up for him, i do /c acceptprint, marco does /c printmoney and we get split money.
It can be applied for 2 ppl ,3 ,4 w/e
-
Still doesn't involve much.

Suggest then.

I have a idea for the Script.Well the printing should be liek the rob the bank... it be a event... but when it goes on the cops can just come in and sus all the people...
and you have to wait in the building for the money to b made and you do
/c getbag
and you go with a bag and go...
-
So Rob bank with a different scenario? Not worth it.
Plus printing money is undercover and cops wouldn't know about it.

Either we script a chance that cops are alerted... Or cops will have to work a way out to stop it! :cop:
