Coke Dealing (help a noob out!)

[KarmaSlave]

I know all about the Bus Depot and commodities and everything. Go to the bus stop with a full clock, get lotsa commodities, but less than 50 or the cops'll getcha, yada yada... But every time I go to another town to sell my cocaine, there's some kind of message about getting beat up by kittens or girl scouts. So I was wondering if anyone knew the exact number your strength stat had to be to have a great chance of successfully selling your commodities. Help a n00b out!

[KarmaSlave]

Also, if anyone knows what Charm you need to have to have a great chance of robbing the bank...

[Migg]

about 300 on both to get your first robbery and/or dealing

[XGEN-CRaZeD]

There is no point in which you can rob it every time...you need the pistol,max out bullets,full charm and strength.(Just get intelligance for no reason at all.)

[Doomed Rasher]

Get 575 charm and 750 strength for a 100% chance of selling cocaine successfully.

[Dizzydude]

i disagree doomed rasher not 100%. i have completed the game with full stats and sports car, castle i am president. and i still sometimes don't sell cocaine. also dont go to the $130 places cause there for selling booze!

[flashn00b]

you need to have high stats on everything and a gun. if you don't, you will keep getting raped.

[diablo13s]

how smart do you have to be to hotwire the car

[Migg]

350 intelligence.

[diablo13s]

[Nordini]

i disagree doomed rasher not 100%. i have completed the game with full stats and sports car, castle i am president. and i still sometimes don't sell cocaine. also dont go to the $130 places cause there for selling booze!

That's offtopic. Use the search bar, it's only been mentioned more times than any question has been repeated.

Based in Vegas (dunno if other cities are different)
Okay, first of all, you need 210 Strength (no conscious beat-ups), a Gun with at least one bullet in it, a cell phone, and some dope or booze. If you have more than 50 of either (51 is the beraking point), the cops getcha. You make it to vegas without being beaten up or robbed, however, there's still a 10% chance you will be knocked out from behind (sorry kids, no getting out of that one). If you are of the other 90%, you will sell either coke or booze (random, so good to have both). You can get an offer on booze of up to charm/boozeSell (dunno what the hell the second part is, not used anywhere else), maximum of 50. Your offer on coke goes up to 10*(Charm/cokeSell) (same here with cokeSell), max of 600. Whatever the offer, it will go up or down by up to 5 (50 for coke), with a minimum sell price of 5 (50 for coke). Whatever the offer is, multiply it by the amount of the commodity you have, and you'll sell for that much money.

So the most money you could possibly get in Las Vegas is $31850, assuming you had 50 grams of crack on you, got cokeSell to 1 (still dunno wth it is), and got 50 on the sell price randomizer.

Average net gain from a 50-gram trip: $10,000. Factoring 10% chance of beatage-up: $7000.

As I said before, I dunno if it's different for other cities.
UPDATE: Yes, it is slightly different, but it seems only the chance of being beaten up. Get your strength to 250 and you're safe from all blockable assaults.

Bank robbing requires a gun, and 40 intelligence to possibly succeed. Your bullets go down by 5-9 (regardless of whether you succeed). A random number between 0 and your Charm is gotten, and if it's above 40, you succeed, and get up to a whopping $500 (or as little as $1... I think it's rather broken). Yes folks, this means that even if you have 999 charm, there's still a 4% chance that you'll get caught. The exact same formula applies to the convenience store; it's not easier, nor do you get any less or more money.

[bluethen]

get 999 of every stats and we'll see what the chances are...

[Kohan]

Read an entire post before you reply to it.

[sheepsta]

read the msg then it says get your strength up lol

[gevaux16]

i heard it was 500 on strenght to do a coke deal but to be safe 750 dont no bout charm

[Kohan]

It's 250 strength, people. There will always be a 10% chance that you're whacked from behind, and that's what you get for being naughty. Want me to grab the game's code? You got it. I'm showing the sample from Brooklyn, NY, and including the failure messages. Only showing the parts that concern strength, however.
robbery = Math.round(Math.random() * 125) + 100;
else if (robbery > _root.strength)
{
rand = random(3);
if (rand == 0)
{
_root.sellSummary = "While in New York, you accidentally track dog crap onto a girl scout group\'s hop scotch layout. Troop 61 leaves you lying on the street with no cash and no stash, and a mouthful of stale cookies. Maybe you should buff up a bit more.";
_root.cash = 0;
_root.item_cocaine = 0;
_root.haveBooze = 0;
} // end if
if (rand == 1)
{
_root.sellSummary = "You get off the bus and walk the streets of Brooklyn. You come across a dark alley and hear noises from behind. Three large cats attack you from all sides, leaving you unconscious near a dumpster. A passing bum raids your wallet and your stash. You\'re weak as a kitten!";
_root.cash = 0;
_root.item_cocaine = 0;
_root.haveBooze = 0;
} // end if
if (rand == 2)
{
_root.sellSummary = "Finding no action in New York, you start getting frustrated. Not paying attention, you slip on a used condom and hit your head on a park bench. Bleeding profusely, you can only watch as squirrels make off with your wallet and stash. Toughen\' up!";
_root.cash = 0;
_root.item_cocaine = 0;
_root.haveBooze = 0;
} // end if
}
The other 'robbery' lines from the five cities:
robbery = Math.round(Math.random() * 150) + 100; // Detroit, MI
robbery = Math.round(Math.random() * 150) + 100; // Los Angeles, CA
robbery = Math.round(Math.random() * 125) + 100; // Chicago, IL
robbery = Math.round(Math.random() * 110) + 100; // Camden, NJ
robbery = Math.round(Math.random() * 110) + 100; // Las Vegas, NV
Math.random() makes a number >= 0 and <1, so basically 0 to 0.99999999. You multiply it by the maximum number+1, so if you wanted a 0-5 randomizer, you'd say Math.floor(Math.random()*6). Math.floor gets rid of any decimals hanging around.

This is code, and it tells no lies! Also notice the relation between beat-up percent and price. If you have 210 strength, use a $130 bus. 225, a $115, and 250, a $100. Not that big of a difference, but just thought I'd note it.
