Adding Euro Notes to Zombie loot

[DieSeegurke23 0]

I try to add Euro notes as loot to the zombies (In this case from Trader Plus Mod). This workes but there is a problem with the amount of notes that get added to the loot of the zombies. Sometimes it spawns 100 to 400 notes instat of 1 to 15 like i set in the quantmin (0.2% ~ 1 note) and quantmax (3% ~ 15 notes). Did someone already done this and can help me out to get this working? :) 

 

In example the 20 Euro note:

Types.xml:

<type name="TraderPlus_Money_Euro20">

<nominal>0</nominal>

<lifetime>10800</lifetime>

<restock>1800</restock>

<min>1</min>

<quantmin>0.2</quantmin>  

<quantmax>3.0</quantmax>  

<cost>100</cost>

<flags count_in_cargo="0" count_in_hoarder="0" count_in_map="1" count_in_player="0" crafted="0" deloot="0"/>

<category name="tools"/>

<usage name="Military"/>

</type>

cfgrandompresets.xml:

<cargo chance="0.30" name="MoneyLow_Custom">

<item name="TraderPlus_Money_Euro20" chance="0.20" />

</cargo>

cfgspawnabletypes.xml:

<type name="ZmbF_PoliceWomanNormal">

<cargo preset="toolsPolice" />

<cargo preset="toolsPolice" />

<cargo preset="ammoPolice" />

<cargo preset="MoneyLow_Custom" />

</type>

You are using wrong quantity values. If game can't get value of quality in Integer for item in types.xml it sets from 1 up to max quantity.

How to solve your trouble:

Inside of types.xml for 20 € change the quantity from:

<quantmin>0.2</quantmin>  

<quantmax>3.0</quantmax>  

To:

<quantmin>0</quantmin>  

<quantmax>1</quantmax>  

 

That would means that item would has quantity in range between 2 items in stack (40 €) up to 3 items in stack (60 €).

How quantity works:

Quantity value is range between 0% and 100%, for 20€ it's maybe maximum 400 items per stack.

Now get some math:

2 * 100% / 400 = 0.5%

O.5 is Double and not an Integer, it should be rounded to Integer so would be 1. 

Same for quantity max:

3 * 100% / 400 = 0.75%

Rounded up to 1.

Now checking how many would be that 1% in items:

400 * 1 / 100% = 4 ( * 20€ per one item) = 80€ total.

 

Legend:

Formula 1: 2 = items quan that we want; 400 = max items per stack.

Formula 3: 400 = max items per stack; 1 = % from stack.

 

Another way to solve is override with your mod amount of stack but it's another way.

Makes sense and seems to work, thanks. 🙂

Fine. So wish you luck.

Also those math stuff you may use for adjusting others items inside types.xml.
