About

The Generic Money and Value System is a lightweight addon that should be compatible with most addons out there. Its purpose is to add value to all items in the game, including a money system to make you able to buy them and manage your money.

Its easy on the network and client performance and does not rely on any other addons to run.

I mainly created this addon to get familiar with GLUA and create something to enhance the way me and my friends like to play sandbox.

If you are afraid of backdoors or just want to report issues please refer to my github:
https://github.com/OneStep150/gmod_generic_currency_value

Requirements

The only requirement to run this mod properly is to have Counter Strike: Source installed.
If the demand is high enough I will consider to remove this dependency.

Features

Here are some of the features you can expect from this addon:

Apply a default value to all spawnables
Add a value multiplier based on weight/health
Set a specific value based on the spawnable itself
Make NPCs drop money on death, based on HP or a configurable value

A number of CVARs to customize the system with
Multiple chat commands for admins to add/remove/spawn money

How to Use

The addon starts out disabled first,
you will have to activate it first by opening the menu and ticking the corresponding checkbox.

You can open the menu by typing gcv_menu in the console.

The menu only offers basic configuration, for more detailed configuration you will have to use the console.

By default, if the addon is enabled, every item in the game will have a value.
If you cant afford it the item wont spawn.
Health and weight multipliers only affect items, that dont have a specific value configured.
You can configure specific values in the menu.

The ATM can be spawned under the entities tab - look for the "Currency and Value | Entities" category.
The first iteration of objectives can also be found under the same tab, they are currently being handled as entites.

!currency (Displays your current balance)
