Got a five minute cron file?

If so, just add some code to it. Look in your crystal market file, the code where somebody adds crystals to the market. It's something like 'Insert into cmarket', or something like that.

Take that code. Change the userid of owner to 1 or whatever, and for amount of crystals instead of using an input from the user just use the php rand function.

If you wish to learn it, try to stumble through the guidelines I just posted. Or... you can wait till someone else does it for you.

any tips on where to read up on learning

Is there any php guide to understanding the scripts or coding for these type of games

Simple code would be needed, something like:

$crystalrand = mt_rand(1,10);

$tp = $crystalrand * $_POST['price'];

 

$CreateListing = sprintf("INSERT INTO crystalmarket VALUES ('', %u, %u, %u)", $crystalrand, 1, $tp);

 

That might not work, but it's worth a try..

You could possibly learn php at w3schools.org or php.net

what about

Just insert it into the 5 minute cron, takes all of 5 minutes =P

db query the cmarket to update with points

have to find the exact call to the cmarket listing as i dno it off top of my head lemme go look.

EDIT:

K, that didnt work, let me mess with it a few mins :p

OK, JUST FOR YOU ;) I got it working.

I tested this on my Minute Cron.

Insert right under

 

$c=$db->connection_id;

 

$rand=rand(1,5);
$price=$rand*5000;

 

The $rand is selecting a number between 1-5 and the Multiplier is Price. So if you want them to be cheaper, or more expensive alter these. 5*5000 = 25000 per POINT so that's 125k for 5 points. To alter that Change up the Rand integers or just lower the *5000 Multiplier.

Now, In your $db->queries

Insert this somewhere

$db->query("INSERT INTO crystalmarket VALUES('', $rand, 1, $price)");

 

And you're done, DAMN i finally learn to code and there's not +1's ;P

Your cmarket query is wrong. Shouldn't it be this?

 

$db->query("INSERT INTO crystalmarket VALUES('', $rand, 1, 5000)");

 

Not sure about the 5000, maybe it should be $price.

Also try to use mt_rand.

gurpreet

I tried it on my game 4 him, it worked 100% :P

Why mt_rand ? what's wrong with rand :O

[Joshua]

oops i madea booboo on postign hah.

it should be

 

$db->query("INSERT INTO crystalmarket VALUES('', $rand, 1, $price)");

[Danny696]

Mt_rand is faster than rand

Honestly from my own tests I didn't saw much difference between the two neither from a quality point of view neither from a speed point of view. So choose one or the other and it will work.

[Joshua]

Ok, Updated my original Post

THAT will work for sure :-)

Got ahead of myself and workin on 3 diff mods at once i tend to have a few typos..WHICH only makes things take EVEN longer ;)

Enjoy
