is it possible to pass an integer (in this case 141) represented by the variable z from a certain restfullAPI into the custom token function: balances[msg.sender]? So in the end I want to have my own Token with 14.1 UGAu (the value from the variable z). For this purpose I use oraclize, https://remix.ethereum.org and metamask.

My smartcontract look like this:

pragma solidity ^0.4.4;

contract Token {

/// @return total amount of tokens
function totalSupply() constant returns (uint256 supply) {}

/// @param _owner The address from which the balance will be retrieved
/// @return The balance
function balanceOf(address _owner) constant returns (uint256 balance) {}

/// @notice send `_value` token to `_to` from `msg.sender`
/// @param _to The address of the recipient
/// @param _value The amount of token to be transferred
/// @return Whether the transfer was successful or not
function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {}

/// @notice send `_value` token to `_to` from `_from` on the condition it is approved by `_from`
/// @param _from The address of the sender
/// @param _to The address of the recipient
/// @param _value The amount of token to be transferred
/// @return Whether the transfer was successful or not
function transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {}

/// @notice `msg.sender` approves `_addr` to spend `_value` tokens
/// @param _spender The address of the account able to transfer the tokens
/// @param _value The amount of wei to be approved for transfer
/// @return Whether the approval was successful or not
function approve(address _spender, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {}

/// @param _owner The address of the account owning tokens
/// @param _spender The address of the account able to transfer the tokens
/// @return Amount of remaining tokens allowed to spent
function allowance(address _owner, address _spender) constant returns (uint256 remaining) {}

event Transfer(address indexed _from, address indexed _to, uint256 _value);
event Approval(address indexed _owner, address indexed _spender, uint256 _value);

}

contract StandardToken is Token {

function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {
    //Default assumes totalSupply can't be over max (2^256 - 1).
    //If your token leaves out totalSupply and can issue more tokens as time goes on, you need to check if it doesn't wrap.
    //Replace the if with this one instead.
    //if (balances[msg.sender] >= _value && balances[_to] + _value > balances[_to]) {
    if (balances[msg.sender] >= _value && _value > 0) {
        balances[msg.sender] -= _value;
        balances[_to] += _value;
        Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _value);
        return true;
    } else { return false; }
}

function transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {
    //same as above. Replace this line with the following if you want to protect against wrapping uints.
    //if (balances[_from] >= _value && allowed[_from][msg.sender] >= _value && balances[_to] + _value > balances[_to]) {
    if (balances[_from] >= _value && allowed[_from][msg.sender] >= _value && _value > 0) {
        balances[_to] += _value;
        balances[_from] -= _value;
        allowed[_from][msg.sender] -= _value;
        Transfer(_from, _to, _value);
        return true;
    } else { return false; }
}

function balanceOf(address _owner) constant returns (uint256 balance) {
    return balances[_owner];
}

function approve(address _spender, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {
    allowed[msg.sender][_spender] = _value;
    Approval(msg.sender, _spender, _value);
    return true;
}

Note, that you should probably use the constructor designator for constructors now over the contract name which has caused a number of exploits in the past.

If you set the value of something in the constructor, it's a one-shot deal that happens at deployment. Upon deployment the value of z is 0 (uninitialized), and therefore balances[msg.sender] will end up equalling 0. It doesn't pass a reference as you may have expected it.

What you will need to do instead, is create a mintTokens function that can only be fired once, in the constructor set an owner or whatever is the appropriate name variable for the msg.sender. Then, in the __callback function, once you have a result for z and it's parsed, you'll fire the mintTokens function for it. In this case, you also don't really need it to be a storage variable.

  • I would highly recommend then doing more tutorials and understanding how solidity contracts work better before continuing, as creating such a function is generally considered quite basic. Reading the documentation will help as well, of Solidity, and it's a better idea to get a grasp of contracts working in a more synchronistic fashion before moving on to ones that utilize Oraclize, which are required to operate more asynchronously.
