I’m making stock market game cause it sounds cool, but I totally cannot figure out how to actually make the randomizing in the market
it randomizes every like 10-20 seconds but it needs to be able to crash, and skyrocket, or just small fluctuations
In the blocks inside of a device there’s the option to get a random integer

Get a lifecycle, repeater, and text device:
-
Set the lifecycle to game start
-
Wire this:
-
Set the repeater to repeat every 15 or so seconds and to transmit on a channel of your choice
-
Add these blocks in the text using the channel in the repeater
thx to @Papyrus for fixing this
(the whole color part is optional)
Tell me if you have any issues with this or you want me to do anything else

Shouldn’t it be like this? The text will never go over a hundred, so it will always be red… Shouldn’t it be 200 instead of 100? (I don’t know how I did this, I’m horrible at block code…)
EDIT: Thanks for fixing it!

ok this works really well, but on the other hand now I have the problem on how to sell the stock at the price it is…
maybe this game wasn’t a good idea to try to make this game… 
Okay, but what do you mean by sell the stocks? (I know NOTHING about stocks…)
so im thinking when you buy a stock, it will give you a seed but you need to be able to sell the seed for the given price
I was thinking about something like this, but the way you set it up is actually great! And with the colored text too? Nice!

Uhhh… Can you explain it me as though I don’t know a single thing about stocks? (because i dont know a thing ) What do you mean by buy it at the given price? Like the price shown on the text? What does it mean when it’s negative?
I tried searching the meaning of it but it’s taking a toll on my brain cells that remain… I need a simple (VERY simple) explanation if possible…

So, there are blocks in item granters that grant specific amount of item, so connect the amount to a property that connects to the random fluctuation, and connect item grant to button
Also since skyrocket and crash are not likely, you can do this: 1/10 chance for massive change, if not massive change, then the range for cost change would be relatively stable, i.e, from 50%to 150%, if massive change, either 0-50% to 150-200%

The only thing i’m thinking is having the number set to a property, then when they click a button, it checks that property, and if it’s negative, it removes that number of an item, and if it’s positive, it gives that number of an item

next question is how the flip do i make it so that whatever the current stock price is, is what you sell it for at that moment?
and also how do i make the text match the sell price cause propertys dont work or im dum
@pookiezach
Feel like…
R3@P3@T3RS (can’t even say it right) aren’t efficient enough while creating a stock market.
Try a trigger loop/wire repeater loop, like this guide says…
Luv dis guy’s guide. :D
