Power Hour

Power Hour

Hey all, this is my first time posting, but I have been reading for a while now. I have just began the process of hosting a server, and am totally new to scripting, so bare with me.

I have searched the threads for an answer on this, and have found many topics on it, but no complete answers. I would really like to implement a power hour in my server. I realize there is a guaranteed gains system in place, and that's fine. Does anyone care to share with me how I would go about doing this? Thanks in advance.

edit: i should mention i'm using rc 2.0

You must have missed the part where i said i was totally new to scripting, haha. Okay, the theory makes sense, any idea how i would actually go about doing that though?

Hi,

Just make a new file with that code, and store it everywhere in script Directory :

using System;
using Server;

namespace Server.Misc
{
	static class PowerHour
	{
		const int Begin=12, End=13;//Happy Hour from 12 to 13
		
		public static bool On
		{
			get { return ( (Begin <= DateTime.Now.Hour) && (DateTime.Now.Hour <= End) );}
		}
	}
}

Then you can use that line/test everywhere you need :

if(PowerHour.On)

For example, in Scripts/Misc/SkillCheck.cs, find the Gain method, and after the line :

int toGain = 1;

insert :

if(PowerHour.On)toGain*=2;

okay, that kinda makes sense. The begin=12, and end=13 is what determines the length of the power hour, correct? So this will enable the power hour to be active for 1 hour each day, as soon as the character logs in?

That will make "power hour" be from noon to 1pm server time is my understanding.

oh yeah, okay. How would i change it to the first hour a character is logged in?

quite a bit more work, i doubt anyone is going to just explain that. You should really look into learning C#.

By the way, this has been covered 50x or more on these forums. I did a quick search and found some code that might help you

unbelieveable, i did like 2 hours of searching last night and i never saw that thread. That helped. I'll try the powerhour.cs, and make some changes to my playermobile.cs / skillcheck.cs. thanks bud.

Gargouille's code its cool, but what about if i want to auto broadcast "The Power Hour has started" at 12:00 and "has ended" at 13:00.

this is what i'm using to test it, "the cold hour"

if(PowerHour.On)
                        AddWeather( -15, 100, 0, new Rectangle2D( 0, 0, 5120, 4096 ) );
                        else
                        {
                           for ( int i = 0; i < 15; ++i )
		           AddDynamicWeather( +15, 100, 5, 8, 400, 400, new Rectangle2D( 0, 0, 5120, 4096 ) ); 
                        }

i still don't have it working. i'd post my script but i'm at work right now. if anyone has a functioning power hour script, it would be awesome if you could pm me with it.
