[script] Arson Bang for Buck

Important notice for CS 80+

Compared to WIndproof Lighter. A Flamethrower has a random "attack/damge range". Always keep that in mind whe using. 

So be prepared to handle depending in the crime type!7

Fixing this on the go with Orange text sugestions

This is my first ever created script, so please be gentle (pretty please? 😉). Note: It’s still a work in progress, so any input is highly appreciated!

Current Status:

• All tests were done with a CS70+ account
• The most tested information is CS80+ (Big thanks to auboli77)
• I have unlocked most 
• If you see the word “Try” in the tooltip, "ignore it". It’s just a note to myself for future optimization
• Flamethrower: " "=> No test done yet
• Flametrhower: "No" => Tested and there is a Yes variation
• Flamethrower: "Yes" => Tested
• Ignite: "something"  => Flametrhower won't work here for sure. 
• If  "Payout" is missing. The auto highlight does not work. This is a work in progres

Main Goal:
To make some sweet cash!

Nice to see other people cutting their teeth on scripting - good job!

Added folowing scenario's

• The Plane Truth
• Twisted Firestarter
• Wedded to the Lie
• Chance of Redemption

Optimized a few others with the fire symbols + 1 theory

Added folowing scenario's

• A Mug's Game 
• Visions of the Savory

Feature request by Amaricq has been added. 
Red highlight for crimes that sync your cash. 

Damm; thankfully the guides and this guy reached to this level, this crime REALLY needed something this great, big thanks!

You should integrate this logic with the lazy crimes script. If you can figure out the logic for what needs to be placed, then the lazy script could use that info to auto fill slots?

Will have to read up on that script. Thanks for the input. 

Update: 

Added some extra scenario's. 
Optimized some scenario's for Flamethrower. 

Created a logic to check for Flametrhower unlock (so crimes below CS80 remain untouched ;) )

Current findings. More Bang for Buck once you have the Flamethrower! 

Awesome, I wonder if this could be merged into the Crime Profitability script

https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=67&t=16382463&b=0&a=0

Once cs100 probably yes. The other script might take over 😅

use action icons + number of actions suggested close to property name instead of pop out box?

Tried that but then the layout got totally screwed.

I love this idea so far! I did notice this crime was slightly incorrect though through testing.

Post Office - Hold Fire

Light with flamethrower and place 1 gas. Needed less than 20% and it finished at 23%.

Edit found another,

Lakehouse - It's a Write Off

Between 35%-65%

Light with flamethrower and place 3 gas. Ended at 90%

This one was good but the $/nerve is off I think. It says it pays $7.8k per nerve. Maybe this was calculated before the buff in payouts?

Palace - The Ashes of Empire

Less than 25%

Light flamethrower and place 1 gas. Ended at 24%.

$190k income. 3 + 5 + 5 + 2 nerve comes out to $12.6k per nerve unless I'm missing something

Hi there, 

Thanks for the reply. 

My date on hold fire. 

Hold Fire": 
    "Profit/Nerve: 9.9k ",
    "Flamethrower: ",
    "Place: 1 Gas",
    "Stoke: ",
    "Dampen: "
]

So if there is nothing written. It means that I did not test with flamethrower yet. 

If there is a No it means I tested and there is a Yes varaition. 
If it says 

Ignite: Lighter 

it means I tested and there will not be a Flamethrower variation. 

So I just used your date. There will not be a Flamethrower variation. 

Same goes for It's a write off. But there is still testing to be done. 
I will update my forum disctription to clarify. 

Als seems I found an error in the payout calculation of the script. So might have to do some correcting soon. 
12.6k is correct if you use Flamethrower.

Added some crimes

Changed some of the payment info on the go. 

Will change some other the comming days (payment might be slightly lower)

Made clarifications on the script in the forum post. 

• Flamethrower: " "=> No test done yet
• Flametrhower: "No" => Tested and there is a Yes variation
• Flamethrower: "Yes" => Tested
• Ignite: "something"  => Flametrhower won't work here for sure.

This will not be an issues once all information is collected. 
This well become less of an issue the coming days ;) 

Some of today's scenario's added and updated 

Bug Fix CS80+  (scenario's missing when ingition was lighter)

New scenario's added + optimazatoin for flamethrower scenario's provided. 

New scenario's added. 

Bang for Buck with flamethrower is so nice. Had a 13k/n crime today Load image: angel

Same crime give 8K without flametrhower.

Major update launched. 

Day one users of the script pinged my to let me know they see far less crimes then they are used to. 
Wel after some deep dive I had to admin they are correct. 

The issue only impacted players below CS80. Hence I did not notice it myself. Hence it was hard to troubleshoot. 


Technical shizzle: 

Use arrays when you define the same object twice....

Non technical shizzle:

I had to change my script and have to double check almost every scenario. 

From here on forward:

I fixed some of the scenario's... I hope to fix all of them tomorrow.  

If not I should be able to fix them by Sunday.

All arrays are updated! 

All predifined crimes should be visible again for CS
