To enable discounts, add discount: followed by a Game Variable ID.


You can set up discounts in three ways:

First way - Game Variable + Array

Use a Game Variable and assign it an array of percentage values (e.g., 4 = 4% discount).

1
Discounts = {
2
27 => [0, 1, 4, 7, 11]
3
}
  • 27 is the Game Variable ID.
  • The array values are used base on the variable's value (treated as an index).

Hint

Each value in the array is accessed by index. If the variable is set too high and the index doesn't exist, you'll be warned in-game.

Second way - Item + Game Variable(s)

You can combine an item requirement with one or more Game Variables.

1
Discounts = {
2
:COUPONA => {
3
26 => [0, 3, 6, 8, 10],
4
28 => [0, -2, -5]
5
},
6
}
  • Player must have the :COUPONA item.
  • Each key (26, 28) is a Game Variable ID.
  • Negative values are allowed - they result is overcharges.

Example for Variable 26:

Example for Variable 28 (Overcharges):

00%
1+2%
2+5%

0% Overcharge

2% Overcharge
Image 2 not found
5% Overcharge

You can combine discount and overcharge values - just be careful not to duplicate the same Game Variable ID under the same item, or you may get unpredictable results.


Example - Scaling Discounts and Overcharges

1
Discounts = {
2
29 => [10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, -2, -4, -6, -8, -10, -12]
3
}

Or with an item requirement:

1
Discounts = {
2
:COUPONB => {
3
29 => [10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, -2, -4, -6, -8, -10, -12]
4
}
5
}

This lets you gradually reduce a player's discount the more they do something (e.g. blacking out), and eventually start overcharging.


  • Player must have the :COUPONB item.
  • Each key (29) is a Game Variable ID.

2% Discount

Third way - Direct Value Use

This method skips the array setup and uses the Game Variable's actual value as the discount or overchage.


So discount: 30 will directly pull the value of Game Variable 30.


  • 10 = 10% discount
  • -5 = 5% overcharge
  • 0 = no change

This gives you more flexibility and lets you reuse the same variable across different Mart events.
