• Giving a monster...

Okay i would need some help... I don't know where to start but the thing i
need help is giving a moster a certain amount of EXP and level. I want it to be quite easy to change the EXP amount and what lvl a moster got.
Something like this

Code: Select all

NPCTEMPLATE  snake
{
    Name                   a snake
    script                   killPCs
    objtype                0x0034
    Color                   0x0000
    TrueColor             0x0000
    Gender                 0
    STR                     34
    DEX                     25
    INT                      10
    HITS                    34
    LEVEL                   1
    EXP                      100
    STAM                   25
    MANA                   0
    AttackSpeed         35
    AttackDamage      2D4
    AttackAttribute      Wrestling

The EXP should be written in scrips>misc>death.src well atleast ive been told that. But i don't know how to make the script read how much EXP the monster got and the give it to the player.

I wanna know how to display the level over the monster like [Level:1] but thats not necessary.

Thanks
Im using POL095...

Well...

In NPCkeeper.src make few setobjproperty for every created snake/monster/etc (if in npcdesc.cfg it have EXP). As i think you woul'd like to use such system for other NPC'es.
Your snake is lvl 1 and 100 exp
but for example you would like to have few snakes with different EXP and LEVEL.
Sooooooooo...
back to NPCkeeper

Code: Select all

var pncfg := ReadConfigFile("npcdesc");
var maxlevel := pncfg[who.npctemplate].LEVEL;
var exp:=pncfg[who.npctemplate].EXP;
var lvl:=randomint(maxlevel)+1;
setobjproperty(who,"LEVEL",lvl);
setobjproperty(who,"EXP",exp*lvl);
rename(who,who.name+" [level:"+lvl+"]";

every lvl is worth lvl*exp

it's just my idea...

Yea that sounds nice. and for giving the player who killed a monster that amount of experience i would need to write something in death.src right?
like

Code: Select all

  var EXP := CInt(GetObjProperty(corpse, "EXP"));
   SetObjProperty(killer, "expe", (expe + EXP));

[/code]

but different levels snakes are the same snake...

i mean:

you don't have any difficult to kill a snake level 200 if you are able to kil a snake level 1..

you must change some snake's stat too....

yes... you can change them their base str,dex,int using their lvl
you can change their skill value

Well the snake was just an example how i would want to write how much exp and level a monster would have.

I did something like this on my server. I set an experience tag on each npc template with a value of 1 to 5. (level 1 to 5)

With this I do a check in the death and loot scripts to determine how much experience and loot will be found on each npc. Then I take that value and put a small random chance on top of it to keep things somewhat random within a given range.

Just a thought on other ways to do this.
