Casino City - Try your luck on some games!

That's right! Play real games! Featuring a Slot Machine, Color Roulette, and Plinko/Pachinko!

Made for the Potato's MvM Canteen Crasher Event (link to submission thread below)

Mann Co. has settled in a City dedicated purely to the Casino business. Hoping to earn more cash to save the company, the mercs try their luck on the games. Unfortunately, the robots have arrived and they are here to destroy all your hard-earned chips. Stop them!
It's High Stakes mode! You will lose all chips and prizes if the bomb hatch is destroyed, so spend wisely!

OUTDATED POST! SEE OVERVIEW PAGE FOR ACCURATE INFO

*All buttons are melee only to prevent accidental pressing.*

-CHIPS-

"Chips" (or previously known as Tickets), are the secondary currency used in the map. They are independent from MvM money packs currency, and unlike MvM money, chips are shared globally among all players. A deduction by one player deducts from everyone, so coordinate with your team on spending.

To earn chips, collect dropped Chips Cases from "chips carriers" (A bot carrying a Tickets Case [custom content pending]). The Chips Case Bot will spawn at times defined in the popfile. Even though the Chip Case Bot is treated like a Bomb Bot, it is prevented from capping the hatch. Instead, the bot will deduct 3 Chips from your pot if it reaches the hatch.

Warning: If the bomb hatch is destroyed, all chips and prizes will be lost.

-SHOP-

Spend Chips at the Shop in the main spawn. Prices are in white numbers. The Chips booth in the center will display your current chips balance.

-GAMES-

Games are located around the middle section of the map where the subway is. The entrances are black voids that teleport you to the game area.

To play the game, first purchase a credit by buying one from the purchase button to the left side (price is the white number).

After purchasing a game credit, the play button(s) to the right will unlock. For roulette, the buttons will lock while the wheel stops spinning, but your credit is still saved and the buttons will unlock again.

-Prizes-

Speed: grants a boost effect and is penalized with marked for death.​

Power: grants mini crits and is penalized with marked for death.​

Nuke: When pressed, the button will destroy everything. Including all bots, all humans, all tanks, and all engineer buildings.​

EMP: When pressed, the button will disable all bots for ~25 seconds (TO DO: confirm this number). The bots get the "gate bot disabled" effect as seen in Mannhattan.

Candy: Grants a random piece of candy usable to the player to heal like a small healthkit.

Shield: Grants a hatch shield that will kill a single Bomb Bot that enters its area.

Heli: A drivable, weaponized helicopter! If the pilot ejects, the heli comes crashing down in a huge explosion. Controls at the bottom.
-Controls for Heli-

W & S - Forward and Reverse Thrust
A & D - Yaw Control
Primary Fire - Shoot Rocket (green reticle)
Secondary Fire - Air Brakes (useful if spinning out of control)
Jump - Exit and drop heli

Note: Work in Progress. The previous theme was Arcade (aka mvm_arcade_city a1-a6).

Note: If you want infinite chips, use the command:
Code:
ent_fire tickets_text_counter_buffer add [number you want]
Internally, there's no maximum number, but the text can only display 0 - 999 before it wraps around.

You should put some more neon lights. It's a casino based map and neons are a staple. But then again it's beta. Looks great for a beta and love the mini games. Great job. Also it'd be great if you made one of the buildings a restaurant

4 days shy until a year in the making, hopefully it will have been worth the wait. Beta 7 revamps all the minigames' visuals so they don't look like their alpha versions anymore. There are also a few enhancements to the main map to keep the important areas a bit more interesting than concrete walls everywhere.
  • Added Blackjack!
  • New and Improved custom visuals for all games!
  • Overall artpass enhancements to map!
  • Replaced H Bomb with a Special Prize
  • Fixed Kamikaze taunt exploit.
  • Chips bots that reach the hatch no longer collect money.
  • Fixed case with chips boss and normal bomb being funky.
  • Changes to some stairs for better movement.
  • Expanded red spawn nobuild zone.
  • When a bot gets close to the hatch, the bot path does not reset anymore.
  • Fixed tanks falling into the pit.
  • Fixed door_upgrade and upgrade_front relays.
  • Fixed games_close_relay and games_open_relay.

How the crap did you do these minigames?

I intend on writing a full explanation of the logic eventually.

Simply,

Roulette: Physbox with a physics prop ball. Triggers to detect the ball trigger relays that are enabled based on player selection, and timers to keep the cycle going.

Pachinko: most simple minigame because theres no timers or counting. just physics going down hitting triggers. the launcher is a entity maker and template.

Slots: (oh boy) The reels are a combination of momentary rot button with very specific max degrees and a func brush. Use math counters to measure and store the relative rotation of the reel. this system is for one reel, so just copy for as many reels as you want. the values are predetermined by logic cases and they tell the counters how many degrees to move the reels. the cases also add to separate counters that determine the jackpots

Blackjack: (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) More counters except this time to handle both the player's and dealer's card values. theres a check for overflowing 21 and then checking if any of the cards are an ace, if so just subtract 10. the virtual deck is 4 counters, one for each suit. the cards are chosen by 5 logic cases set to pickrandomshuffle, one for each suit and one to pick a suit. the cards themselves are 4 different props together in a template that self destruct by default unless the card was chosen. 4 separate props because limits on max skins per prop and it's easier to remember which skin if the skin number matches the card value.

So apparently I had forgotten to delete a temporary spawnpoint for red team, and people where spawning outside their spawnroom.
Also fixed a funky displacement people could get stuck on.
