LoanSharks

by Kyonides-Arkanthos

Introduction

This scriptlet lets your heroes get personal loans from your "friendly" loan sharks?

Features

You may set the maximum amount of gold your heroes can get from the loan shark, the number of steps the heroes might do before they get charged a "modest fee" by the loan shark, and the interest percent itself. Now you may even make good use of invisible timers and game switches to create interesting bone-breaking events!

Sneezing a Bump out of my reddish nose!

I was just hanging around when I came up with a way to implement a suggestion made by some boring people in the last couple of days. The results were a new version of my scriptlet, and I had to post it here obviously... Let's see if anyone really includes some bad ass mafioso or dozens of thugs in their videogames!
