How to collect money for a tycoon?

Help
1

I’ve made a tycoon prototype and i’ve taken inspiration from classic Roblox tycoons. I’ve figured out the button mechanism and how to spawn in things like sentrys and stuff like that but I need help collecting money. I tried to do an item dropper and make it spawn specific money at a certain time but it just doesn’t work out for me.

Use the “Item Spawner” device. It has similar mechanics and is simple to use.

There are several options:

  1. Educational! you could wire an item granter to a questioner (question answered correctly > grant item), set the amount you want them to earn per question, and b00m! Each question correctly answered will give them money
  2. Knockout rewards! If you go into the sentry settings, go to the “knockout” menu on the top, and allow item drop, you can make it drop cash for the players to collect!
  3. Secret areas! Some props can have damage on, which means you can give them health. Once a player “k!lls” it, they can then go into a secret area to collect cash. Multiple potential ways to collect this such as…
    a. Least satisfying Wire the barrier to an item granter (prop destroyed > grant item), making sure the item grater gives them cash. It’s simple and does the trick.
    b. Slightly better!! Item image! Make it show a picture of cash. Then place a button on top of it (make it invisible if you want to), wire an item granter with cash in it (button pressed > grant item). Adds a little extra work to stand on that item image, but more satisfying than the last option.
    c. I don’t know where this one ranks!! You can add some item spawners with some cash, and let them run around and collectc cash. Just set the spawn time apart for a while so they can’t colect it infinitely.

If you’re going to do option 3, I’d reccomend going to the “availability” menu at the top and setting the “scope” to player. This way, if anyone else is in the game they won’t be able to access the area once the prop is destroyed.

When they ask for how to collect money from a tycoon, this means that the tycoon already makes the money. If the tycoon was an ATM, the OP wants to know how to take money out of it.

Anyways, how is money tracked from the tycoon?
(i.e., how do I know I made # amount of money?)

Probably by checking your inventory… I’m sure there’s a way to track it with a game overlay

Yep! If you add a game overlay device, you can make it work! Set the “Overlay Type” to “tracked item”. Then, below the overlay position, there’s another section that says “Tracked Item”. Set it to cash and that should work!
