onenter experience
Posted: 06 Oct 2004 05:13 AM |
| Hello I’m new here. I just want to say I love the scripts you use in your mod. I have been looking for an exp onenter script like the one you have. I was wandering could point me in the right direction to creating my own. I have looked for something similar on the vault, but have not had much luck. |

I cannot give you the specific script because it contains many things that are specific to vives that would not make any sense.
Essentially, there is one script for each area.
Each script works like this
- provides the descriptive text with the SendMessageToPC command
- using a persistent variable (this part depends on your persistence system) for this unique area, check to see if this character has been giving the exploration xp or not.
- If not, then give it using the GiveXPToCreature function
It's that simple.

Something like this?
//B W-Husey October 2004
//Give xp to entering PC (once only)
Void main()
{
object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
if (GetIsPC(oPC) == TRUE) // you might have to use
GetObjectType instead here - you are checking the
entering object is a PC - not really that necessary
but saves some run time.
{
if (GetLocalInt(oPC,"nXPSet"==FALSE) //make sure PC
hasn't already got this XP
{
SetLocalInt(oPC,"nXPSet",TRUE); //set so PC can't get
this XP again
GiveXPToCreature(oPC,100); //give 100 xp to the PC
}
}

#include "vv_include"
void main()
{
string sAreaDescription = "This well trodden road has been worn down by the multitudes of Travelling merchants and traders travelling from the busy Port Royale and further shores to the bustling Trading Post near Buckshire.";
string sRewardTag = "XP_Enter_Northern_Highway";
string sRewardDescription = "";
int iXPReward = 80;
/***************************************************************************/
vv_PCEntersArea(sAreaDescription, sRewardTag, iXPReward, sRewardDescription);
}
This is an example of the script we place in the onenter tabs of areas. In our instance though this obviously references other custom scripts we have tying in with our database (which Quietus made for us in-house).
Hopefully this might be of some use. I could post all the other scripts it references, including the vv_include...... but that one in particular is rather large :/

Yes, except the flag for tracking if you've already given the XP isn't persistent -- meaning once you reset your server, the PC will get the XP all over again.

The vv_include file contains the definition of vv_PCEntersArea which handles the bookkeeping and everything else that we do.
The heart of the script basically does what you have just written. We also check for
!GetIsDM(oPC) && !(GetIsDMPossessed(oPC) to exclude the DM's from getting exploration XP.
Also, remember that your nXPSet has to be unique to each area.
(thats why we have the vv_PCEntersArea function and call it with the unique area tag that is used for storing the local variable into the database - it makes the on enter scripts simpler and cleaner as you can see from the above example.)

Sounds like a well written script if you ask me :D
Just for clarity I was referring to the ability to gain the XP everytime. I have no idea about scripting and just reading that lot made my head spin! |
