SCars Car Dealer Limit?

[MisterFoxx]

I was wondering if there would be a way to restrict how many cars a player buys from a NPC Car Dealer.

I have the code all set up and iv seen it work.

The only problem is that it becomes a world prop and people can buy as many as they want.

If someone can please help me with this i would be damn grateful.

[brandonj4]

Please post the buying code and the selling code.

[QUOTE=LedZepp;36790173]yes and i edited the OP but my actual question still resides in how do i make a limit on how many cars players can buy?[/QUOTE]

Implement the code serverside aswell and then i'll help you if I can.

You mean the way Donkie did it?

Donkie:
The serverside code needs a big cleanup too. Take a learn from how I made the AddItem function, and see if you can implement that in the same way in the serverside.

[brandonj4]

Is the folder of the npc named npc_trader and can you see him ingame? What color is the error in console? Blue is a serverside error, yellow is clientside error.

[MisterFoxx]

its server side

[brandonj4]

Be more specific in your answers please. I'm not going to post 20 times to solve one problem.

[MisterFoxx]

ok look i gave the error, I gave the code and i gave what side its on the problem is its not spawning the friggin npc.

[brandonj4]

I'm assuming you don't understand that:
"npc_trader"

NPC_TRADER is the name of the entity in the entities folder. If it's serverside you must be doing something wrong on your end for the npc.

[MisterFoxx]

the entity is npc_trader that's why I'm confused but fuck it ill figure it out myself
