Leveling & EP script in developmnet for 2.6.0

[Clawbug]

Hmm, sounds and looks interesting. I wish there was a way to set a respawntime for every invidual player. You could shorten your respawn time as a skill, or ability. Could come handy in CTF, I think.

[Will]

I think this would be cool for a singleplayer game. Could you like , deny the usage of an X weapon till you're X level. This would be really useful for spells and such.

SINGALPLEYAR HUZZAH!!!!!

yes thats possible, with the finished script, you get the minigun as the ultimate gun if your reach the maximum level (maximum level can be customly defined). the minigun is disabled till then and then enabled at max level for that individual player as some ultimate gun.

@Clawbug:
yeah i thought of such skill, using the /setteam command to let the person immediatly respawn after death. but this terribly spawn the console with "X has joined alpha team" messages

So far, i thought of making 3 spell classes, that improve and are learned every X levels. once you reach the required level, you are asked which of the spells of this class you want to learn:

Healing Spells - improves every 2 Levels - Choose between these spells:
-Instant Heal (on command, 1 minute cooldown): Heals you for 100%. With higher levels, you will heal even more than 100% of your max health and the cooldown decreases.
-Regeneration: Heals you for a small amount of health with every second. Heals faster if you are at very low health. Amount healed increases with higher level.
-Vampirism: Heals a big amount of health on kill and gives you some extra Expirience. Amount healed increases with higher level.

Summon Spells - improves every 5 levels - Choose between these spells:
-Summon Ghouls (on command, 3 minutes cooldown): Summons a couple of Ghouls with chainsaw on your team to protect your base for few seconds. Number of Ghouls, duration increases with higher level. Cooldown decreases with higher level.
-Summon Flame Spirit (on command, 5 minutes cooldown): Summons a mighty modded flamethrower wielding Flame Spirit on charlie team with LOTS of health that attacks everyone in the game. Duration increases with higher level, cooldown decreases.

Weapon Spells - improves every 3 levels - Choose one of these spells:
-Instant Reload (on command, 1 minute cooldown): instantly reloads your magazine with some extra ammo. Amount of Extra ammo increases with higher level, cooldown decreases
-Disarm (on command, 1,5 minutes cooldown): Disarms the nearest enemy for a couple of seconds. Duration increases with level, cooldown decreases.
-Carrion Ammo: Has a certain % chance to instantly reload your magazine on kill. % chance increases with higher level.

how does it 'ask' you? a server message? and do you just type the answer?
and will the minigun be like your hovergun? :p

[Avarax]

yeah it will ask you via a private server message. then you have to choose by writing /1, /2 or /3 in the console

you can mod the minigun however you wish, the script is quite customizable... i modded it as a flak gun firing cluster fragments... not too overpowered, yet very nice to keep opponents at range

[mxyzptlk]

Nice.

ONLY for 2.6.0?
*whine*

[Avarax]

lookey, i'm making some graphics for the manual of the script


---Warmth---

Category: Healing, Static

Heals you for 2% HP each second
If you are under one third of you maximum health, Warmth will regenerate 5% HP each second instead.

[M.rSnow]

Nice addon to the script
(still want savexp)

[Avarax]

---Conjure Clip---

Category: Offensive, Spell ('/ofs')
Cooldown: 90 seconds

Instantly renews your ammo and even gives you some extra bullets.
The number of extra bullets is  X % of the default ammo of your gun, where X is (20 + 5 * skilllevel).
Cooldown decreases by 10 seconds per skilllevel.

[Apocalypse]

cool 

could there maybe be a /sniper cmd where a sniper with like %99 accuracy guards where you sit or like /kruger and then 2 krugers follow you around?

[Avarax]

---Disarm---

Category: Defensive, Spell ('/def')
Cooldown: 120 seconds

Disarms your nearest opponent for X seconds, where X is (2 + (skilllevel / 2)).
Cooldown decreases by 10 seconds per skilllevel.

[xmRipper]

woow nice work

[Avarax]

Well here is a definate list of spells and talents that will be in the script. you can learn and improve only one spell / talent out of each category:

Category: Healing
Warmth: static, regeneration
Holy Medikit: spell, 100% heal
Vampirism: static, life leech

Category: Defense
Disarm: spell, disarms nearest enemy for a short duration
Evasion: static, gives you a chance to avoid damage
Thorns: static, redirects an amount of damage to the damage dealer

Category: Offense
Conjure Clip: spell, reloads your magazine and gives some extra ammo
Carrion Ammo: static, gives you a chance to instantly reload with each kill
Critical Strike: static, gives you a chance to do double or even triple of the normal damage

Category: Summoning
Summon Ghoul: spell, summons some chainsaw bots on your team for some time
Summon Flame Spirit: spell, summons a mighty flame bot on charlie team for some time
Summon Spellshield: spell, summons a shield to block the next spell casted, also negates some static effects that would affect you in a negative way


the script is about 500 lines long already, including 3 out of the 12 spells and the levelling and spell-learning system

Sounds like a nice script and I like those graphics for the manual.

But how do you determine the closest player, just wondering how you figure that out with GetPlayerXY()

[Avarax]

Pythagoras says:
c²=a²+b²

Avarax says:

Code: [Select]

        GetPlayerXY(caster,X1,Y1);
        temp:=999999;
        nearest:=0;
        for i:=1 to 32 do
        If i<>caster then
          begin
            GetPlayerXY(i,X2,Y2);
            If (X2<>0) and (Y2<>0) {and GetPlayerStat(i,'Alive')} then
              begin
                temp2:=sqrt((X1-X2)*(X1-X2)+(Y1-Y2)*(Y1-Y2));
                If temp2 < temp then
                  begin
                    temp:=temp2;
                    nearest:=i;
                  end;
              end;
          end;

This part:
   temp2:=sqrt((X1-X2)*(X1-X2)+(Y1-Y2)*(Y1-Y2));
is equal to what Pythagoras says and calculates the range from Soldier A to Soldier B. The rest is for finding out which is the nearest.

[Frenchie]

Wow thats a good way of doing it.
Code snippet saved.

Can't wait till its out.

[M.rSnow]

Question!
You typed:

---Conjure Clip---

Category: Offensive, Spell ('/ofs')

Is "/ofs" the command in game?

[Avarax]

yap

/ofs = shortcut for all offensive spells

here is another thread in General Discussion btw, if you havent noticed yet:

[ghg]

Looking very promising so far. I look forward to playing this.

[coolhunt]
