Hi I have been working on a loan system for my mud, it's an add on to the smaug banking system that is out there. basically I have it when you take out a loan u don't gain any money instead it is directly paided to the bank. The only problem is I am having trouble with the auction part of it. I want the auctioneer to take money out and pay off the bill, and if it has extra to give the extra to the person selling the item instead. This is what I have so far.

Code:

pay2 = 0;
if ( auction->seller->pcdata->stats[LOAN] > 0 )
{
 
 if( auction->seller->pcdata->stats[LOAN] < 0 )
{ 
 pay2 = (int) auction->seller->pcdata->stats[LOAN] * 2;
 pay2 = (int) pay2 / 2;
 auction->seller->pcdata->stats[LOAN] = 0;
}
else
{
pay2 = 0;
}
 auction->seller->gold += pay2; /* give him the money, tax 10 */
 ch_printf( auction->seller,
                        "The auctioneer pays you %s zeni, charging an fee of ",
                                num_punct(pay2));
                ch_printf( auction->seller, "%s.\n\r", num_punct(tax));
stc("&CThe Auctioneer says 'Since you owe the bank money I have given them what I could and given you the rest'&D", auction->seller );
}
else
{

                auction->seller->gold += pay; /* give him the money, tax 10 % */                
		ch_printf( auction->seller,
			"The auctioneer pays you %s zeni, charging an auction fee of ",
				num_punct(pay));
		ch_printf( auction->seller, "%s.\n\r", num_punct(tax));
}

it doesn't work at all, not sure what to do about it. thanks in advance. .........................

Code:

pay2 = 0;
if ( auction->seller->pcdata->stats[LOAN] > 0 )     <--- so what you're saying is if he HAS a loan out
{
 
 if( auction->seller->pcdata->stats[LOAN] < 0 )       <--- this part is in the wrong spot, we already know its > 0
{ 
 pay2 = (int) auction->seller->pcdata->stats[LOAN] * 2;
 pay2 = (int) pay2 / 2;                                               <----^---------------  you're multiplying by 2, then dividing by 2.. just assign it
 auction->seller->pcdata->stats[LOAN] = 0;     <------      and then you're clearing the loan
}
else
{
pay2 = 0;       <---- pay2 already = 0
}
 auction->seller->gold += pay2; /* give him the money, tax 10 */
 ch_printf( auction->seller,
                        "The auctioneer pays you %s zeni, charging an fee of ",
                                num_punct(pay2));
                ch_printf( auction->seller, "%s.\n\r", num_punct(tax));
stc("&CThe Auctioneer says 'Since you owe the bank money I have given them what I could and given you the rest'&D", auction->seller );
}
else
{

                auction->seller->gold += pay; /* give him the money, tax 10 % */                
		ch_printf( auction->seller,
			"The auctioneer pays you %s zeni, charging an auction fee of ",
				num_punct(pay));
		ch_printf( auction->seller, "%s.\n\r", num_punct(tax));
}

ok .. now for the rest of it ... I think what you're trying to do is this ...

if( ch->loan > 0 )
pay2 = pay * 9 / 10;
if( ch->loan <= 0 )
pay2 = 0;

auction->seller->gold -= pay2;
ch->gold += auction->seller->gold;

if( pay2 > 0)
ch_printf( "Because of your bank loan, %d of your profits has been given to the bank.", pay2 );

ch_printf( "The auctioneer charges you %d zeni ..." ..... etc etc etc

this way you're making pay2 = the amount that is taken from the profits, removing it from the amount given to the player, and then continuing the normal auction proceedings ...

does this make sense or am I missing what you wanted to do?
