How to show the amount of cash you need (Difficulty of 3/10 🟨)

[gimmaster12345]

Introduction

I made this in a game:

I shows the cash you have, and the cash you need.

Step one

Place an inventory item manager, set it to this:

Place a property, set it to this:

Place another property, set it to this:

(The default value is the cost of your item)
Place a button and a checker, settings:

(Button can do anything.)

Checker:

(Value can be anything.)
Place a popup, make it open and run wire pulse block when the check fails. Wires here:

That’s all for step one!

Step two, the hard part

Place a trigger that triggers on the channel “Thing”.

In the block setting, put this:

(The number block is the cost of the item.)

What this does is it finds the difference between the cost and your cash, and sets a property to that.

In the popup you placed in step one, do this in the block settings:

Why this works

So, when the amount of cash changes, it sends a signal to the IIM. The IIM updates the cash property. Now, when the trigger triggers, it finds the difference between your cash and the cost, and makes that a property. The popup is just a way of displaying that.

Noice looks good. Maybe a difficulty of 4/10?

[Cellofive]

This is not a 4/10.

[gimmaster12345]

Sure, it has light block code, but not much. That works.

[gimmaster12345]

Easier, or harder?

[THEHACKER120]

Oh more or less?

I would suggest explaining the settings instead of just pics
less 3/10

FC’s guides were 95% pics. Almost no instructions. I also tend to just explain things without pics if I do that.

[Foxy]

you aren’t Frozen_cursor and some people work better with words

[gimmaster12345]

I work too well with them, I made a guide and forgot to add pics, so it was a huge chunk of text.

This is a great guide, and I would say that it is 4/10, because

@mysz

You should now also have a basic understanding of properties and block code, because some of the harder 5/10-rated guides include them.

See? 5/10 has a little block code, like this guide, but considering that gimkit players are getting better then I would give it 4/10,

recently gimkit players have gotten a lot better.
some old guides rated 5/10 sometimes don’t even have block code.
but, I made snakes and ladders and it was rated a 5/10,
this means the gimkit community has gotten better, and understands more than they use to

[gimmaster12345]

I will most likely use the poll to decide. Thanks though!

How to make wordle in gimkit! [WIP]

Since that was made, the difficulty ratings have shifted down since people have been discovering more complicated mechanics. I would suggest basing it on how much time you think you need in gimkit creative to be able to comprehend the guide and fully understand it. It’s easy to follow instructions blindly, but it takes time to learn from it.
