Adding a cost reduction to my purchasable items
Hey, this should be pretty simple but am having troubles wrapping my head around it. Basically I am working on a game that has different items that the player can be. One of the premium buys is a price reduction on the items by 5% each time. I'm currently doing this through multiplying by *0.05. The problem with what am doing is that it multiplies the already reduced value by *0.05 on each additional purchase.
this is the sample code i got so far
if (( premiumCoins >= upgradeAmount) && (perkLevel <= 49) )
{
premiumCoins = premiumCoins - upgradeAmount;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
itemList[i].purchaseCost = itemList[i].purchaseCost - (itemList[i].purchaseCost * 0.05f);
}
}
Do something like this
public ItemType[] itemList = new Array[10];
private ItemType[] costList = new Array[10];
private float currentDiscount = 1.0f;
void Start()
{
costList = itemList;
}
void AddDiscount(float disc)
{
currentDiscount -= disc; // for example discount is 0.05f
}
itemList[i].purchaseCost = costList * currentDiscount;
the result is pretty much the same though ;/ For example 250 coin cost ends up at 149 on 10 purchases. Should have been 125. And if i continue upgrade eventually the price gets nullified.
Yes I saw that immediately that is the reason for my change above. (note: personally I would make itemList & costList List's but I do not know how your code is set up and just figure you would modify it to match your code anyway.)
finally! That took way longer than it should have!! Thanks a bunch :)
