Yo Guys ! This is my first ever eventing tutorial AND the first EPS(Eventing Pwns Scripting) tutorial ! I Hope you like it !!

Interdouction
Would You Like so Save up your money so you don't spend them ? Or Would you like to have Two 999999s ? You Can make all that without need of Scripts !!

Setting Up
You Will Need :-
Only 4 Variables and nothing else
(and of course a event To be the Banker !)

Now Let's Get to Work :3 !!

1-Create Four Variables ( you need ALL of them ! ) and Name Them the following :
1-Held Money ( The Money the player Holds when he Enters the Banks )
2-Bank Account ( The Money Stored in the Bank )
3-Despoited Money ( The Money that the player wants to store )
4-Withdrawn Money ( The Money That the player wants to withdraw )

2- Create an event to be the banker

3- Control Variables > Held Money > Set > Other > Player's Gold ( you Will know why we need that later )

4- Text : Welcome to the bank ! what do you want to do ? ( or anything else you want to write )

5- Choices > "Check account" , "Deposit Money" , "Withdraw Money" ( Everything starts now !!! )
-If " Check account "
- You Currently have \v[n] in your bank account ( where "n" is the number (ID) of the Bank account variable )
-If " Deposit Money "
- Number Input > Deposited Money
- Conditional Branch > If Deposited Money <Is Greater than> Held Money (This step is performed so That a player can't Deposit money more than
-Text: You Don't have that much in your inventory ! The Money in His Inventory )
Else
- Change Gold -"Deposited Money"
- Control Variables > "Bank Account" > Add > "Deposited Money"
- Text : Thanks ! the money was transferred to your bank account !!
-If " Withdraw Money "
- Number Input > Withdrawn Money
- Conditional Branch > If Withdrawn Money <Is Greater than> Bank Account (This step is performed so That a player can't Withdraw money more than
-Text: You Don't have that much in your Bank Account ! The Money in his bank account )
Else
- Change Gold +"Withdrawn Money"
- Control Variables > "Bank Account" > sub > "Withdrawn Money"
- Text : Thanks ! the money was Moved From your bank account To Your Inventory !!

And That's all !! Easy , Right guys ?
Look up for my next tutorial about how to make Quests and Thanks

Normally we just don't see any convincing enough reasons to have a Banking System ingame, sadly.
Though, assuming that we do need it, and since this tutorial isn't so useful to some people as it is just simple, now why don't you think of implementing Interests for your money?. I bet you could and guess what? That'll be also a reason for us to have Banking system ingame.

Not a bad idea.
You could add 1 gold for every footstep or have it run with the game's clock. It's probably add up pretty quick, but the math would be a headache.
Just don't take out any mortgages. It's no coincidence that "mort" is the French word for "dead". *_*

This is funny for two reasons. My first eventing tutorial was a banking system. I also used only 4 variables and one page of eventing! I guess the eventing world is a small one!

[Celianna]

Yup, a bank system like this is pretty standard, so making one that looks like another's evented bank system is to be expected.

I created an interest system, but actually having it go up a reasonable amount over time is kind of a pain in the butt and such to keep it balanced.

if i could make a suggestion for this as well: run a loop, that way when your character checks how much money is in the bank, he doesnt have to re-talk to the teller; the teller will simply bring the choices up again until you're done with whatever you're doing.

EDIT: also just thought of a really great, random benefit to cause your player to WANT to save their money... im the kind of person that likes to make REALLY random types of chests. i just made a chest that gives you gold equal to the money deposited in your bank. think of it as a trap with a positive side to it. the first bank i just made gives you a 'sign-on bonus' of 500G (it's the beginning of the game, so great way to get some of your first gold). the bank owner/proprieter explains the chest benefit, noting that it's just one of those strange, magial occurrences in life. "So, save! You might just get lucky!"
