Money Option

[scrosland]

Hello,

I'm writing some actions and would like to understand the "money option" button better.

If I create an action that can cost the subject $200 or they can do something else instead, I think I need to set the "Subject money change" box on the general page to -200, and then add text to both "money option" and "action option" boxes on the text page? Is that right?

Then, during the game play, can the action be displayed even when the subject doesn't have the money to pay up, and therefore has no option but to do the action instead?

Thanks,
Simon

Not an expert but been messing around myself with this. I think you're right about how to set up the Money option. What I did was to copy an action already set up as a money option then modify it.

I have found that even if someone hasn't got enough money to pay, then the charge is still deducted leaving them with a minus balance. Perhaps a sort of bug?
