Raocoin2.lua

The Raocoin2 library allows the creation of customisable currencies, which can be saved between plays. It also provides a built-in shop framework to allow these currencies to be used for various tasks.

Installation

Place the file raocoin2.lua and the folder named raocoin into the LuaScriptsLib folder.

How to use

To enable the Raocoin2 library for a specific set of levels, add this line to lunaworld.lua:

raocoin = loadSharedAPI("raocoin2");

Then, define a currency my registering either an NPC item to count, or a global memory address to reference. This example will count dragon coins, and display a UI element at the point (472, 66) (just under the score):

dragoncoins = raocoin.registerCurrency(274, true, 472, 66);

While this example will assign a reference to the existing HUD coin counter, allowing regular coins to be saved, loaded, and used as currency:

coins = raocoin.registerMemCurrency(0x00B2C5A8,FIELD_WORD,true,false);

Each of these functions returns a Currency object, which can be used to create shops and store values between plays.
