I'm currently working on Wars of Steel, a mechwarrior platformer/shooter/RPG. I have encountered an issue, not with complex robot movement or whatever, but with a task as seemingly simple as making a slot machine for the Casion feature of my game. It's not that I'm stumped, it's just that the way I'm currently going about making the slot machine seems impractical. For one, my technique involves me setting up an event for EVERY slot combination. Also, instead of actual slot movement (The slots move down or up, and there's some skill in timing the stops), you simply tap the Fire 1 button, and the images appear randomly. (Removing any potential need for skill)
I've checked the tutorials and articles for something of assistance, but to no avail.
Does anyone have a good system for Slot Machines?

There's a KnP example thingy. It uses a list of items per slot so it isn't random, too.

could you not create a set of three counters and see if they are all equal and then "award" the correct prize as relevant. for example if alcounters 1 2 and 3 are equal then award 20 * "number on counter 1". just an idea. you can then assign each number a picture. or use a picture counter and just repeat the frames in each counter. if you want i will create an example for you. im assuming you are creating this in mmf

You could use an array, aaand whichever object the slot lands on, it sets the array position of that slot to the value of the item
i.e
Slot(1)=3
slot(2)=3
slot(3)=3
Then, have a pre-determined list of prizes
i.e
1 knife
2 axe
3 sword
4 cheese
5 pr0n
6 smelly socks
7 Big weapon of +20 pwnage
Now you can make an event which checks to see if slot(1) is equal to slot(2), and slot(2) is also equal to slot(3)
then, award a prize based on the value in slot(1)
however, i think TGF/MMF have the first line as 0, so you may have to subtract 1 from the value of the slot

You don't need a link, download KnP. The example comes with it.

Thank you.
This information is very helpful.
And yes, I am using MMF, and if you're not too busy with other projects, you can whip up an example.
