Requesting some scripting help for Enclave Commander

[enclave1488]

Hi,

 

I have been modifying the Enclave Commander for my own needs and everything has worked out well enough so far to modify the scripts to change the menu of the Radio and what type of troops to call in etc...

Now I want to change the script so that each platoon that gets called in costs money (caps).

Reason being is because I do not want troops to be free, I want it to cost me so that the Radio reinforcements are a luxury not something granted and free.

I will copy/paste the script here and perhaps some of you good folks could tell me what lines would have to be added, because my scripting experience is still very low and only enough to alter scripts but not come up with entire new lines to change the script to make this idea of mine work.

I appreciate any help given and offer my thanks in advance for anything you can do to help me with this.

Here is what the script looks like:

 

 

 

: scn J3XVertibirdComEffectScript

short button

;short doonce

; 0 = nada

; 1 = Have selected button, shall summon ship

short submenu ;2 = Ground, 3 = Air Support, 4 = Squad commands, 5 = Ground2, 6 = Ground3, 8 = Ground4, 9 = Ground5

float offset

 

;J3XVertibirdSoldierAIOrder

; 0= Follow

; 1 = Guard

; 2 = Wait

; 3 = Dismiss

 

begin scripteffectstart

showmessage J3XVertibirdRadioBeaconMessage

set submenu to 1

endif

end

 

begin scripteffectupdate

set button to getbuttonpressed

else

endif

showmessage J3XVertibirdRadioBeaconMessage

set submenu to 1

 

endif

end

 

I know I'll have to create a new Message if the player does not have sufficient caps to call in a particular platoon, that would be referenced in the script.

I just don't know what lines would have to be added exactly where in the script to add a cost requirement for each platoon.

Once again, I appreciate any help given to me :thumbsup:
