Guests incoming!

[zionmees]

Hi everyone

The cheat option 'big group' where you have 700 guests or so more in your park.
Make that a dropdown menu with 3 or 4 options like '8 Cars Trainer' has:
Little, medium, large, huge or something? I think that would be a great extra feature!
What's your opinion?

Personally, I don't see a reason why this would be any use.

For scenario makers who want a certain amount of guests in the park, this would be a great feature.

Because of the hunderdeds of guests that are entering your park at almost the same time. They're not happy because it's too crowded.
But with smaller groups this would be less of a problem and park ratings are going up faster (if not cheated that is).

The current tram of peeps brings 100 guests iirc. If you need more just tap repeatedly, and I don't see many uses for less guests. If you want to have guests in your park at the start of a scenario, there is no better way than letting the game run.

It's 250, which is still low enough to easily reach any relevant number by clicking it multiple times. If you really want to have a different number, change the number in this line and recompile: https://github.com/OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2/blob/develop/src/openrct2/cheats.h#L109

Maybe it should be decreased to 100 and be told to the user about the exact amount being sent out - that way it minimize the "too crowded" a bit and makes it easier for the user to count

I'd personally love this feature. I wish there was a way to get the exact amount of guests you want.

Say, some kind of feature like 400 guests + add 37 = 437.

Or, I want 2,313 guests, click a button, boom! 2,313 guests.

As well as a feature to add a big group, say 700, versus a tiny group of 50.

 

Small Group - Medium Group - Big Group - Very Big Group

50-100          150-250              300-500     700-1000.

 

I have a feeling some sort of feature like this will be added, so I am hopeful.

Dude, That's like ummm cheating! LOL... just my opinion, but a park will support itself if built correctly and the correct amount of peeps will follow accordingly in a matter of days... Seems like a waist to me, just let nature take its course.

This is too trivial of a feature, adding this will only make the cheat window messier. If you really want to have that much control about it, you can edit the mentioned line of code and compile yourself.

[BlazingEmpireHD]

Yeah, I guess. It may be messy, but it'd be helpful!

[Broxzier]

No, it's too trivial. It won't be helpful, it will only cluster the window more.

Maybe just have a "Add guests" button that leads to a window with all the options?

[imlegos]

Why not just a number input box with the "add Guests" button next to it.

(Alternatively, input box with the "Add Guests" shadowed in it until something is typed and pressing 'Enter' (or 'Return' for Mac) to add said number)

Choose exactly the amount you want.

[CharlieP]

How many guests are removed when "Explode" is selected?

[Broxzier]

It's not a fixed number. The cheat loops over all guests, first checks if they are not busy with something (on a ride, in a queue, leaving the park), and if all of those tests pass, there is a 1/6th chance the guests will explode.
