CSB Ammo Packs

An nVault-backed ammo-pack currency: earn packs for kills, headshots and round wins, persisted by SteamID, with natives so a shop plugin can spend them. /packs shows the balance.

CSB Ammo Packs is the currency layer a zombie or boss server needs before it can have a shop. Players earn ammo packs for kills, headshots and round wins; balances are persisted per SteamID in nVault, so they survive reconnects and map changes.

Other plugins spend and grant packs through three natives — csb_get_packs(id), csb_set_packs(id, amount) and csb_add_packs(id, amount) — so an extra-items menu or VIP shop can be built on top without touching this plugin's storage. /packs shows your balance and admins can grant packs with csb_givepacks.

Inspired by the ammo-pack economy of Zombie Plague. This is an independent GPL re-implementation; no original code is reused.

Features

• Earn packs for kills (csb_packs_kill), headshots (csb_packs_headshot) and round wins (csb_packs_roundwin).
• Starting balance for new SteamIDs (csb_packs_start) and an optional cap (csb_packs_max).
• Persisted per SteamID in nVault; loaded on connect, saved on change and on disconnect.
• Natives csb_get_packs / csb_set_packs / csb_add_packs for shop/extra-item plugins.
• /packs balance display and csb_givepacks admin grant.

Using the natives

In another plugin you can declare the natives yourself, for example:

native csb_get_packs(id);
native csb_set_packs(id, amount);
native csb_add_packs(id, amount);

Then check csb_get_packs(id) before an item purchase and call csb_set_packs(id, balance - price) to charge for it.
