[edit] Introduction

In this article we are going to create a script for a container. The script will allow the player to put his gold into the container. After a week the container will give the player the original sum plus interest based on the player’s level. This will allow us to “invest” our gold in some kind of bank (in this case a container). Now we also have the possibility to store gold because it seems to be a bit unrealistic to carry your gold everywhere you go.

[edit] How does the bank work

Every gameweek all the money in the box will be multiplied by (1.00 + PlayerLevel/1000). This means if the player is level 10 the gold will be multiplied by 1.01 (interest of 1%), if the player is level 20 the gold will be multiplied by 1.02 (interest of 2%), etc.

I’m sorry if the script isn’t obvious due to Wiki formatting.
