'these variable need to plug into an equation
dim name as string
Dim current As Decimal
Dim toBuy As Integer
Dim startPrice As Decimal
Dim newPrice As Decimal
Dim totalNeed As Decimal
Dim quantity As Integer
Dim subNeed As Decimal
Dim account As Decimal
Dim flow As Decimal
Dim hours As Decimal
'this is the equation
newPrice = current + (toBuy) * (0.1 * startPrice)
totalNeed = newPrice * quantity
subNeed = totalNeed - account
hours = subNeed / flow
MsgBox("it will take you " & hours & " hours to save up for " & quantity & name & "'s. ")
End Sub
End Classfor example, the plaza that i was about to click on (in the pic)
it is in combobox1, it is plaza, and its starting price is 1000000 dollars.
it has a starting price, but depending on how many somebody already owns it has a current price. you can find out the current price by plugging what you know into the equation:
newPrice = (current) + (toBuy) * (0.1 * startPrice)
you then plug the rest of these into some more code(not shown yet) to get the hours to save up.
my question is, how do i make an array that has the name and starting price associated with the combobox1.
so when i click the plaza it plugs the startPrice into the equation and it plugs the name into the msgbox output string.
please help, ive been struggling with this for a couple weeks now.
best regards!!!
Here is some example code of how to set up an array:
I would actually recommend using an array of a Class instead of using a multidimensional array of type string.
vb Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
'Declare Array Dim properties(3, 1) As String 'Set values of Array properties(0, 0) = "Plaza" properties(0, 1) = "1000000" properties(0, 0) = "Seaside Lot" properties(0, 1) = "1500000" properties(0, 0) = "Restaurant" properties(0, 1) = "3000000" 'Retreive values of Array Dim newPrice, current, toBuy As Double newPrice = current + toBuy * (0.1 * properties(0, 1))
I would actually recommend using an array of a Class instead of using a multidimensional array of type string.
