Little help with TakeMoneyFromPP

I am writing a little script for npc who sells items and services, but is not an actual merchant (so people can't sell to him)

However instead of giving money to npc I want script to just take money from the player.

So I need:
1. check if player has enough money
2. take the money

Now:

Code:

a=$client->GetCarriedMoney();



if (a> 999 )

{

$client->TakeMoneyFromPP(999, updateclient=false);

}



else

{

 quest::say("You don't have enough cash on you to obtain this service!");

}

Does this look right to you? (I don't have a server running atm and can't test it unfortunately)
Also - updateclient=false ? is that right? or should it be true?

I didn't fully check this out, but I believe 'updateclient' is a client-specific requirement. (If someone can validate this... Ti = true, SoF+ = false)

If you're catering to a specfic client(ele), you might be able to avoid any checks and keep it hard-coded.

ok if I want this to work for all clients, can just omit that part?

Disregard..as long as you're not using the merchant interface, I think it will just be updateclient = true.

Client updates are only sent to clients that don't subtract merchant purchases automatically.

If you ARE using a merchant interface, then you will have to determine the client type.

oh no, this is just for a regular npc which I specifically want to be a non merchant - as I said in the 1st post - i want player be able to buy, but not sell - so player just tell npc what they want to get and npc takes cash from them.
I am just trying to avoid the hassle of having players giving npc the cash directly which is always cumbersome.

Then, yes, it needs to be true. Otherwise it would only deduct the server money and the client would still show the pre-purchase amount. (Sorry for confusion.)
