This is a currency system such as seen in World of Warcraft, where:

100 Copper = 1 Silver
100 Silver = 1 Gold

Updating a mobs currency is easily handled through the use of the proc currencyUpdate(). Please refer to Notes.dm for further information on using this library.

Okay, so I get how this currency system works, however is there away that I could make variables so that, for example, when someone completes a level for the first time, they get 10 copper, but after that, they don't get anything? Or is there a way I could delete the, i guess you could call them "variations" of currency and just use coins? I do know this is very convenient, but I just want a simpler economy... In my game there isn't really much to buy.

EDIT: I know I can delete the gold/silver/bronze/copper list and just replace it with 'currencies = Coins' but I don't know how to replace the other stuff.

Well, my assumption was that you were taking away simplicity for efficiency.

I have to agree with Danny on his choice. Two less variables is just being nit picky and a waste of time to condense it down further. Honestly with the memory allocation in today's computers, memory is only a problem if it leaks.

I was plainly talking about convenience of having one simple number. Nowhere did I ever mention it taking in less memory.

I had considered using one single numerical variable and just displaying it as Gold, Silver and Copper (You will notice I convert it all to copper to check you have enough to subtract from a mob). However I personally just found this much neater.
