I'd rather expose natives through hl_gangs such that the feature can be implemented through an external plugin, rather than adding it to the main one

I'll try to make the price multiplier (:.

How about the max upgrade for each perk? If that is ok for you, I can try also.

I was able to add the Price Multiplier. I just had some issues with the GitHub. I wasn't sure if it was committing properly, then I reverted my changes to avoid any mistakes. Sorry about that :/

Sorry for my English mistakes. This keyboard from my notebook is weird.

Review the code and compare. I don't know if there are better ways to make my code better, but at least it works (:

New ConVar: hl_gangs_price_multiplier
Default Value: 1.0 (Disabled)

Description:
For each upgrade bought, the next one will be more expensive, based on the ConVar value.

Ill create a branch for it and compare to see what you did. I'll edit this post with an update once I can review it

EDIT: I switched up what you did because it used so many for loops and stuff. The algorithm for calculating credit modifier is as follows

price = itemPrice + (priceModifier * perkLevel)

That way it always increases by the ammount of the price modifier, but when set to zero it's completely ignored (zero times any value is zero )

Here's the pull request. I just need to test it.

I did that way, but the reason I used the for loops is to increase for each level. For example:
Level 1 = 100
Level 2 = 200
Level 3 = 400
...

This way you did it will increase only in general, right?

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes in that example it won't scale exponentially, just linearly. However by changing + to * it does exactly that what you had intended

I do believe though, people would prefer linear over exponential

Edit: look at the latest pull request

Linear the user could just increase each price, no?

Sorry for questioning a lot, but it's more like a concern.
The user can't modify to 1.5, right? Maybe it would be some feature that the user could take more advantage of.
Which is the correct method of calculating exponential?

price = gcv_iGravityPrice.IntValue * (gcv_iPriceModifier.IntValue * ga_iGravity[client]);
price = 1000 * (2 * 3) = 6000

or

price = 1000 * 2 = 2000
price = 2000 * 2 = 4000
price = 4000 * 2 = 8000

Great job with the plugin! it's getting better and better

Actually. Doing it exponentially just makes an added complication imho. Let's just make in linear, that way the price increase will be like this

Assuming that the modifier is set to 100, and the initial price is 100

Level 1 - 100
Level 2 - 200
Level 3 - 300
Level 4 - 400
...

Do speed and gravity work, cause im not sure if they do for me.

Awesome! It's also better this way

Are you sure? Did you tried running in parallel to a friend? Because it's a subtle difference.
