You don't want to give players non-movable items... it causes problems.

Another method which I used on another shard, was to put them into player banks unmovable and make them usable only from thier bank. But again, all up to the shard admin. You DO NOT want to put unmovable items into a player's backpack, period.

Why's that?

Because if they die.. the item gets moved from their backpack to their corpse and then they cannot loot it. Also, some scripts count items, or move them to obscure places (depending on the shard), and it just causes problems.

I give my new players non-movable skillballs (5) at character creation. The only complaint so far was one had to move his new player ticket to find the fifth ball. lol As far as everything else, I don't have non-movable items on my shard besides the skillballs at creation so I wasn't aware they couldn't be looted (guess I should've figured) and is a very good piece of information. I would have it create in their bankbox and only usable from there but I have no idea how to do that in CharaterCreation (yeah I'm a severe newbie). Would it be something like:
Code: 
AddToBankBox( new SkillBall() );
Like I said...no idea. :)

Ah...nevermind. I found my old distro CharacterCreation and found out how to add items to the bankbox.

Oh, and XxSP1DERxX, I hope you don't think that I'm against you in any way (sometimes people take me that way). I'm known for asking severely dumb questions and then later finding out the answers on my own or by a couple of actual scriptors smacking me around a little saying "...see...it's right there...!". I'm very much looking forward to a skillball that has alot of features or a couple of versions that have different features. :)

That will be quite a patriotic act for Sunday the 4th.
Releasing great new scripts to the public!

Code: 
private int m_SkillBonus = 100;
Change the 100 to 50. :)

When you script it to add just call
SkillBall10( 50 )
inside the quotes is the amount of skill it can raise

I took spiders skillball and made it so that it has charges and is rechargable if a GM makes it. it gives PowerScrolls at 120... im guessing this could be made random easy. Also it could be improved a bit in other areas as well but i figured I'd give it out if people wanted to use it to increase certain skillcaps that all for a more custom character.

Ok, i was going to put this script on my server but put it thorugh some testing and found a few problems on my end. An example will do best:

Problem 1
I add a +80 skill ball to a new players pack.
A player creates a warrior (lets say 50 tactics)
He uses his skill ball but for some reason it wont let him add to tactics

Problem 2
Lets say that the player is able to use that +80 skill ball on his tactics, I would like it to use the entire ball, not just the 30 points required. So in other words, a ball can only be used once, no matter how much skill was used.


--Thank You in advance!

I believe this is what you can use until he finishes his.

Ok, that script fixes the problem with not being able to add to skills that are above 0. But I tested a +80 on a character with 50 tactics and it bought it to GM. I want the skill ball to bring the character to 80, no matter what skill he started with, 0 or 50.

Yeah, I am planning on addressing all of those requests/problems/questions.

Heftiger, what you are asking for is not the essence of a skillball. What you are asking for the skill to be changed absolutely, not realitively, similar to how skillmod works with its boolean parameter. I can add this option to the ball, although again... this will make the ball bulky.

ok, well if you do decide to change that but would not like to post it because the file would be too big, I could give you my email (not sure if you can upload in PM), because this is really the only thing that I would like to use it for.

What I think would work better, I'm not sure if this is possible, is to give the players a skill ball of like +160 and allow them to use that when they create their character, but put a cap of 80 or so on the skills so that they cannot use the skill ball to take any skill over 80, is this possible?
