totally fine if no one has solution but thought id ask anyways
So I’m in the process of making a trading system and I’m on the part where I’m displaying information about who is offering what, and basically this is the UI
I want the trade list on the top to always be the local players trade offers if that makes sense regardless if they are the sender or if they are the recipient but having a hard time wrapping my head around this
This is the server code
local TradeRequest = {}
TradeRequest.__index = TradeRequest
local Cache = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Cache)
local timeLeftToRespond = 15
-- This function creates a new TradeRequest object
function TradeRequest.new(sender : Player, recipient : Player)
local self = setmetatable({
sender = sender,
recipient = recipient,
timeLeftToRespond = timeLeftToRespond,
initialTimeLeftToRespond = timeLeftToRespond
}, TradeRequest)
Cache.UpdateTradeRequest(sender, {
sender = sender.Name,
recipient = recipient.Name,
timeLeftToRespond = self.timeLeftToRespond,
initialTimeLeftToRespond = self.timeLeftToRespond
})
task.spawn(function()
self:startTimer()
end)
return self
end
-- This function is called every 0.1 seconds to decrement the timeLeftToRespond
function TradeRequest:startTimer()
local decrementAmount = 1 / 10 -- Decrement timeLeftToRespond by this amount every 0.1 seconds
while self.timeLeftToRespond and self.timeLeftToRespond > 0 and not self.isTradeInProgress do
self.timeLeftToRespond -= decrementAmount
Cache.UpdateTradeRequest(self.sender, {
sender = self.sender.Name,
recipient = self.recipient.Name,
timeLeftToRespond = self.timeLeftToRespond,
initialTimeLeftToRespond = self.initialTimeLeftToRespond
})
task.wait(.1)
end
if self.sender and not self.isTradeInProgress then
self:Decline()
end
end
-- This function is called when the recipient accepts the trade request
function TradeRequest:Accept()
self.isTradeInProgress = true
self.senderCapes = {}
self.recipientCapes = {}
Cache.UpdateTradeRequest(self.sender, {
sender = self.sender.Name,
recipient = self.recipient.Name,
isTradeInProgress = true,
recipientCapes = self.recipientCapes,
senderCapes = self.senderCapes
})
end
-- This function is called when the recipient declines the trade request
function TradeRequest:Decline()
Cache.TradeRequests[tostring(self.sender.UserId)] = nil
Cache.UpdateTradeRequest(self.sender, nil)
for k in pairs(self) do
self[k] = nil
end
end
-- This method is called when either the sender or the recipient adds a cape to the trade
function TradeRequest:AddCape(player : Player, capeName : string)
local function add(tbl)
local myInventory = Cache.Inventories[tostring(player.UserId)]
local hasThisCape = myInventory:DoesThisPlayerHaveThisCape(capeName)
local capeQuantity = myInventory:GetCapeQuantity(capeName)
if not hasThisCape then
return
end
if tbl[capeName] and tbl[capeName].Quantity >= capeQuantity then
print("You don't have enough of this cape to trade")
return
end
if not tbl[capeName] then
tbl[capeName] = {
Quantity = 1
}
else
self.senderCapes[capeName].Quantity += 1
end
Cache.UpdateTradeRequest(self.sender, {
sender = self.sender.Name,
recipient = self.recipient.Name,
isTradeInProgress = true,
recipientCapes = self.recipientCapes,
senderCapes = self.senderCapes
})
print(Cache.TempCache.TradeRequests)
end
if player == self.sender then
add(self.senderCapes)
elseif player == self.recipient then
add(self.recipientCapes)
end
end
return TradeRequest
