Lua NPC Banks understand "1k", "1kk", "8kk"

[kito2]

Hey all,

On my OT an idea has came to our minds and is to let NPC Banks understand money "strings", like 1kk, 8kk, etc.

We have developed this function:

function testMoney(str)
    if (tonumber( str)) then
        return tonumber(str)
    end

    local number = string.match(str, '^%d+')
    if (number) then
        local ks = string.match(str, '[k]+')
        if (ks and ks:len() > 0) then
           
            local exp = 1000 ^ ks:len()

            return number * exp
        end
    end

    return 0
end

Now the idea would be to integrate this function to all strings messages related to NPC Banks.

Right now I am in a middle of lot of work, so I am not able to continue more than this right now. So I am creating this post, cause it can be an idea which more people would like to work on, integrate and finish it.

Thanks in advice if you want to help with it

If you are using the default banker NPC (scripts/bank.lua) you could simply do this, I suppose;

Change

count[cid] = getCount(msg)
npcHandler:say('Would you really like to deposit ' .. count[cid] .. ' gold?', cid)
Topic[cid] = 2

to this

count[cid] = convertMoney(msg)
npcHandler:say('Would you really like to deposit ' .. count[cid] .. ' gold?', cid)
Topic[cid] = 2

Don't forget to add your function to the script too, and rename i to convertMoney

Thanks, but I think this two functions should be merged in to one:

function stringToMoney(str)
    if (tonumber( str)) then
        return tonumber(str)
    end

    local number = string.match(str, '^%d+')
    if (number) then
        local ks = string.match(str, '[k]+')
        if (ks and ks:len() > 0) then
           
            local exp = 1000 ^ ks:len()

            return number * exp
        end
    end

    return 0
end

function getMoneyCount(string)
    local b, e = string:find("%d+")
    local money = b and e and tonumber(string:sub(b, e)) or -1
    if isValidMoney(money) then
        return money
    end
    return -1
end

function strToMoney(str)

    local digits = string.gsub(str, "%D", "")

    if tonumber(digits) == nil or tonumber(digits) == 0 then
        return 0
    end

    local converted = string.gsub(str, "k", "000")
    local extracted = string.gsub(converted, "[^0]", "")

    return tonumber(digits .. extracted)
end
