Rider Transfer System

This is an early screenshot of my rider transfer system. This is proving to be alot more complex than I first thought, with so many variables for riders contracts, happiness, likelihood of moving teams, team reputation affecting happiness and chance of signing a rider, and loads more.

I'm getting through it though, so should have a fully functioning system up and running soon for Rider1 & Rider 2 position, salary demands and a system for pre-saving any rider moves for initialising at the end of the current season.


Update - 11/6/13

Almost there with the rider transfer system, you can now offer a contract for Rider 1 & Rider 2 in your team, the game will not allow you to offer multiple riders a ride at the same time, there is a salary system in place where the rider you approach will decide whether or not to accept your offer based on his current salary, happiness in his current team and his level of ambition. More updates and new screen shots to follow soon.

Update - 15/6/13

I now have a system whereby you cannot approach the same rider for both seats in your team. Also, the rider decision making system for accepting contracts is getting deeper.


More updates to follow

Update 23/6/13

I now have a fully working rider transfer system in place. In my test shown below I signed Marc Marquez and Aleix Espargaro for the Yamaha team for next season ! As you can see, the rider details have updated to reflect these changes.



All the other rider stats also update to the new team for next season.

I thought I had the transfer system finished but have found a couple of more things I need to do to fine tune it so it works a little better, will sort this out before moving the next stage of development, screen shots to follow when I finally get the transfer system done.

Rider transfer system now in place. New screenshots below



This is working just like I wanted it to, the game also sets up any rider moves in advance so at the start of a new season it will setup the teams with any changes.
