[C#][RAGE] How to take money from player?

[Magu]

I'm working on a mod where cars consume fuel and where cars can be refueled on gas stations. My problem is I don't know how to make the player pay for refueling. It's boring to get the fuel for free.
Does anybody know the function or method in C# to take money from the player?

You can use GTA.Player.Money to set or get how much money does the player have, so for example if you want to sell the player something for $40 you'd do: GTA.Player.Money - GTA.Player.Money(40);

@Miawwe Thank you for replying. I already tried Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Money but it doesn't work. When I use the Game.DisplayNotification the Money Value shows me 0 although my character has over 700k for example.
GTA.Player.Money - GTA.Player.Money(40); doesn't work either. Can it be that this works just in C++? I'm using C# and the ..Character.Money value seems to be useless.

@Magu Try these natives, I could confirm that these work without any problem.

SET_PED_MONEY = This sets the money you wish to have with Ped
GET_PED_MONEY = This gets the money what ped has.

Here an Usage/Example :

let's say I want to charge the player $50 for something.
Simple function would do the trick.

private void MoneyFuntion()
        {
            Ped Player = GTA.Game.Player.Character;
            int PlayerMoney = Function.Call<int>(Hash.GET_PED_MONEY, Player);
            if (PlayerMoney >= 100)
            {
                Function.Call(Hash.SET_PED_MONEY, Player, (PlayerMoney -= 50));
                UI.Notify("You have been charged with $50")
            }
        }

I tried your code but what do I need to make it run? I fit the code a little bit to make the compiler accept it.
There still is one thing the compiler is moaning about: "Hash.SET_PED_MONEY".
I guess a using-directive is missing or something else.

public void moneyFunction (){

    if (Game.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left)) {
            Ped player = Game.LocalPlayer.Character;
            int PlayerMoney = NativeFunction.Natives.CallByHash<int>(**Hash**.GET_PED_MONEY, player);
            NativeFunction.Natives.Call(**Hash**.Natives.SET_PED_MONEY, player, (PlayerMoney -= 50));
            Game.DisplayNotification("You have been charged with $50");
        }

    }

Do you have any idea what is wrong?

@Magu He showed you the Script Hook V .NET equivalent, which still wouldn't work as the player's money isn't stored in the PED_MONEY - it's stored in a STAT.

I would think RPH would know to set the player's money (I'm not familiar with the API), but if it can't then you'll have to convert this code to RPH: https://github.com/crosire/scripthookvdotnet/blob/421a83571afa7934f9d8f8ec3592c9b327f99ea6/source/scripting/World/Player.cs#L77

This is what you would convert the native function calls to using RPH: http://docs.ragepluginhook.net/?topic=html/T_Rage_Native_DynamicNativeFunction.htm

[Magu]

@Jitnaught I searched in Native DB and found these methods about STAT:

BOOL STAT_GET_INT(Hash statHash, int *outValue, int p2)
BOOL STAT_SET_INT(Hash statName, int value, BOOL save)

That example below is just to get the cash value. I'll try to set the value after the get method works:

public void moneyfunction (){

    if (Game.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left)) {
            int* val;
            Hash hash = NativeFunction.Natives.GET_HASH_KEY("SP0_TOTAL_CASH");
            NativeFunction.Natives.STAT_GET_INT(hash, &val, -1);

            Game.DisplayNotification("Money: " + &val);

        }

    }

Something is wrong with the second parameter (int* val) . It seems to be a pointer but I have no idea how to handle pointers. The compiler doesn't accept that syntax I tried
I think that's the last missing puzzle piece

[Dreamlncode]

@Magu

int* val;

This needs to be.

int val;

&val means you are storing the value by reference into a normal variable not a variable pointer.

[Magu]

@Dreamlncode The method "BOOL STAT_GET_INT(Hash statHash, int *outValue, int p2)" expects an "int *outValue". What is the *outValue?

[Jitnaught]

@Magu When you use & on a variable it turns the variable into a pointer (a variable that references another variable). So if you had an int variable and used & on it it would return an int*, which is what the native function is looking for.
Your code should look very similar to the SHVDN code I posted above, namely int* val should be int val and you need to surround your unsafe code (&val) with unsafe { }
If that still doesn't work, it may be because RPH doesn't support pointers (again, I'm not familiar with the API), and you might have to use a NativeArgument instead http://docs.ragepluginhook.net/?topic=html/M_Rage_Native_NativeArgument__ctor_10.htm

[Magu]

@Jitnaught Unfortunately I don't know how to use NativeArgument. I hope someone in the forums has an idea.

[Magu]

After hours of experimenting the code finally works
The problem was the hash value. It was always empty so I put the hash value directly as a argument.

For those who want to know how to add cash to the player, here's an example:

public void moneyfunction ( ){

    if (Game.IsKeyDown(Keys.Left)) {
            NativePointer nativePointer = new NativePointer();
            int money = 0;
            NativeFunction.Natives.STAT_GET_INT(0x324C31D, nativePointer, -1);            // SP0_TATAL_CASH = 0x324C31D Michael's Cash
            nativePointer.SetValue(nativePointer.GetValue<int>() + 2000);                         // Cash value + 2000
            NativeFunction.Natives.STAT_SET_INT<int>(0x324C31D, nativePointer.GetValue<int>(), -1);      // Add 2000$
        }

}

I know this code needs to be optimized but it will do for now

Thank you very much for your help, without your help I would never find it out

@Magu i know its been 2 years but im tryna add money to a player the same way as you and was wondering if you figured out a way to add it to the character the player is currently using and not only michael
