n4h Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I had the idea of this box when I gave a christmas present to a RS friend. I thought "What if the present was a total surprise?". The solution is here: Present Boxes!! You get one in any general store for 10gp. You "use" the items you want to give with the box. You trade the box with a friend and he opens it. When he opens it, the item or items you put there appear in his inventory and the box is ready to be re-used later. Comments please! I'm back.

Brinner Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 ya that would be cool but more like a stall that sells em.. (remembers that pick that showed those present boxes at draynor) then you could buy different styles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidRode Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Very nice suggestiosn, but I think it's impossible because, Each Item got a ID Example: Santa hat: 20392 (Just a sample) Present box with Santa hat: 29333 (Just a sample and the "with Santa hat would be hidden") Soooo, Jagex must made another 4000 Item's ;-). A bit too much work but a nice idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_username4 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Great idea!! Just there'll be people saying "selling present box with santa hat!! Only 100k!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then there'll be people reportign for item scamming because they traded a present and didn't make a profit. There must be a solution though.

Lillefix0 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 What if you only could trade money for "absolute nothing"? This way it will have to be gifts and noone can scam with them... Currently selling: 15k air runes for 225k (15ea) 6k steel bars for 3.6m (600ea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be easier to just 'use' the present on the person you want to give it too? Or, like the rubber chicken, have a 'Give present' option when you right click on the person and you have a present in your inventory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this idea,about the item numbers, that might be the only problem. Special wraps may include : Christmas ones ,easter, halloween, birthday, and RS themed ( lol wrap with p hats on it that contains ashes..... ) ~It's Super Effective!

scootlaboot Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Nice idea, but if the box is reusable eventually runescape will be flooded with them. And its bad enough with all the burnt fish and weeds everywhere. :wall: If you choose your beliefs/lifestyle simply based on what your parents want, then you are a weak minded individual and are not even worthy of calling yourself a person.

no_username4 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I don't like the lottery concept. It's either a waste of money, or a method of devalue on certain items, or both. :XD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar_Drifter Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Regarding the item ID problem, here's the solution: Just make a seperate variable to store the item ID of what is in the box. Present Box (ID 5000) Present Box (ID 5000) w/ present (item's ID) So, let's say a Blue Party Hat is ID 6000. The ID for a box with a Blue Party Hat in it is 50006000. When the player want's to open the box, the game engine splits the variable at the 4th number (numbers start at 0), and the left over numbers would be what the player gets! Get it? I like this idea too. Retired Tip.It Mod || Admin and Founder of Caesar 3 Mod Squad! All are welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
