Sell Price Formulas

[Tsukihime]

The Shop Manager has been updated to support custom sell price formulas for a shop. 


By default, the selling price of an item is equal to half the buying price of the good at the shop.


This new feature allows you to separate the selling price from the buying price using simple script calls.


Get it at Hime Works!

While there's a way around the pricing limitations of the database, this is pretty nifty for anyone who is making special timed/deal shops or whatnot, so now you won't have to make multiples of a single item in the database, just because you want a shop to sell the item at a different price.

It's hardly one of your most useful scripts(lets be real, some of your scripts are downright life savers), but It's a nice little option to have

What are some workarounds available?

What are some workarounds available?

Making duplicates of the item, and setting them with a different price.

Lol yea not pretty at all I know, but it kind of works(the only real flaw doing it this way, is technically they are different items, so the wont beable to stack with each other). Needless to say, your script handles such so much better.

Duplicates would work up to a certain point.


For example, suppose you had a commerce-intensive game where materials in one city may be cheaper than materials in another city.


You could run some commands that will swap all of your goods with the corresponding duplicate entry, and maybe use a snippet to facilitate that.


Granted that solution requires you to have a duplicate entry for every shop that requires a different price, so you'll probably run yourself into a database nightmare at some point.


Plus the shop manager provides formulas for everything, so you can have prices dynamically change based on things like variables, switches, levels, etc.

(Oy yea, you could probally do that, I have made similar events before)Yea, if you have a mechanic where item prices are based on a region/city in your game, that's gonna very quickly turn into a database nightmare if like every city wants to have their own price.

Yea, that's pretty cool.
