Weighted wages depending on rating
4th February 2009

I did a rounding up thing.
ie:
1. generate the wage
2. if its not a MOD of 10 then keep adding 1 until it is.
3. if > max then wage = max (which is a mod of 10 anyway).
I'll probably do as you state to make it a bit better.
Thanks to all for their he*snip*

That's much better!
Now all I have to do is make sure its a round number (ie: is divisible by 5, 10, 25 or something like that) so that it is more visual appealing.
So instead of 6993 it's just 6990. I should be able to do this (I hope!)
Many thanks!

Hi there.
In the following code, a player can hire "Hoods", each of them have a 0/100 rating system.
What I'm after is a weighted rating system, so that the closer to 100 the rating is, the higher the salary is.
My system is a quick fix, however I get a*snip*

Wraptext with Text shadow effect
30th January 2009

I'll try it! Thanks
I tried it, it returns a weird number right at the front of the text, also the text has no shadow (I tried it on a red background and I should see a black shadow).
WrapText also seems to take presendence over the text shadow effect.

The generic way of doing it would be used pretty much all the way through the game, and handle all/any rectangle menu objects.

How do you make paragraphs or line breaks in the "Your Blog" feature.
