Free Money Idea

[ShadowStriker]

I have an idea for a shop item. A "Free Money" item. But the name doesnt quite say it all. For when the item is used it would say something like "Hah, did you really think you would get free money!?" and then they lose 5 karma. Is this possible?

sry I didnt see the items child board, can a moderator move it there?

Very easy to do
Save this into Sources/shop/items as "FreeMoney.php":

Code: [Select]

<?php
if (!defined('SMF'))
die('Hacking attempt...');

class item_FreeMoney extends itemTemplate
{
function getItemDetails()
{
$this->authorName = 'Daniel15';
$this->authorWeb = 'http://www.dansoftaustralia.net/';
$this->authorEmail = 'dansoft@dansoftaustralia.net';

$this->name = 'Free money';
$this->desc = 'FREE money!';
$this->price = 0;

$this->require_input = false;
$this->can_use_item = true;
}

function onUse()
{
global $context;

updateMemberData($context['user']['id'], array('karmaBad' => 'karmaBad + 5'));
return 'Hah, did you really think you would get free money!?';
}
}
?>
Then add it via the "Add/Edit/Delete Items" section in the admin panel

Awesome, thanks!

Wait, I get this when trying to get into the add/edit/delete item menu:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/strikere/public_html/forums/Sources/shop/items/FreeMoney.php on line 25

Ah, that was me being stupid and not testing the code . It should be fixed now.

Find:

Code: [Select]

updateMemberData($context['user']['id'], array('karmaBad' => 'karmaBad + 5');

Replace with:

Code: [Select]

updateMemberData($context['user']['id'], array('karmaBad' => 'karmaBad + 5'));

How long has there been an updateMemberData function and why didn't I know about it?

It sure beats those massive database queries XD

It's been in SMF since the beginning (indeed, I didn't know about it either).

Just thinking out loud...I tend to avoid Karma changing items or adapt them to change money...maybe this one could deduct money from the user and give it to either the poorest member or equally to all members (with or without a PM notification?) Would that seem useful/reasonable as an alternative?
