Variable or overridden item costs

[chrissuch]

Hi,

I am trying to figure something out that I am sure was possbile under v2.

I have a unit that costs 100 points. The unit can take between 1 and 3 of a particular item. The first item is factored into the unit cost (and effectively costs 0) but each additional one costs +10 points.

Now, I could set the cost of the item at 10ea and the cost of the unit at 90 (to account for the 'free' item) but I am not a huge fan of this.

How could I set it up so that the costs display to the user correctly? ie, item x 1 = 0 pts, item x 2 = 10 pts & item x 3 = 20 pts

Cheers, Chris.

In the item, click on the postlink button in the top right. Now, we'll enter a script there that will modify the cost of the item(s) as a whole by -10.

@single = maximum(@single-10,0)

so, the cost of all the items is modified by -10, and then the maximum statement makes sure that it's not charging -10 for the item if you haven't taken any.

If the range is 1-3, rather than 0-3, then you can leave the maximum portion out.

I apologize if I missed anything in the script, I'm working from memory.
