Hireable Medic

[haazen]

Hireable Medic follows you around and heals you whenever your hits drop by 15 from max.

My test character could stand toe to toe with a dragon and finally win the battle (most times). This test character has 40 resists on all 5, 90 hit points, 80 fencing and was using a dagger. The Medic kept up with the damage.

This script is based on the BaseHire in NeRun's Distro package. I have included that script in case you don't already have it.

I have found the new players will use the Medic until they get some skills up. I have not seen veterans hire the Medic. Although, as lousy as I am at playing this game, I myself will hire one. I need all the help I can get.

Just drop into your custom folder and also the BaseHire.cs if you don't already have it.

[add medic or spawn in your most advantagous places.

I hope this will be enjoyed.

As with any of the Hireables, the term of hire expires after an hour or so and the Medic disappears. Is this what you mean by decay?

public override void OnThink()
                {
				foreach ( Mobile m in this.GetMobilesInRange( 10 ) )                                                    
			if ( this.ControlMaster == m )
			{
           	 		if ( m.InRange( this, 10 ) ) 
            	 		{ 

					if ( m.Hits < (m.HitsMax - 15) )
					{
					if ( !new HealSpell( this, null ).Cast() )
						{
						new HealSpell( this, null ).Cast();
					m.Hits += 15; // increase here if you want more healing
						}
					}
				}
			}
	  	}

This is from Medic.cs. You can change this value "15" to lower:
m.Hits += 15; // increase here if you want more healing

Then you can edit from begin healer SetSkill values, drop down Anatomy and Magery and it will heal you less I think.

I have added these to my shard and people love them, however I would like to have only people with young status or hours logged to be able to use them, any help would be apreciated if willing.

There is one issue I have come across when using this. it has been reported by a few folks that when they die, from time to time ( when using a medic only ) that they get frozen and are unable to move until they get resed. and medics have been seen following and healing the monsters after being released.

[Jebbit]

never mind I was able to figure it out. for thoes that would like to have only Young players use this here is the change I made.

if ( this.ControlMaster == m && m is PlayerMobile && ((PlayerMobile)m).Young )

			{
           	 		if ( m.InRange( this, 10 ) ) 
            	 		{ 

					if ( m.Hits < (m.HitsMax - 5) )
					{
					if ( !new HealSpell( this, null ).Cast() )
						{
						new HealSpell( this, null ).Cast();
					m.Hits += 5; // increase here if you want more healing
						}
					}
				}
			}
else
			{
if ( this.ControlMaster == m )
{
				Say( "You do not need my services" ); // I can do no more for you at this time.
SetControlMaster( null );
}
 
			}

	  	}

Is there a way in up the amount they charge for there services?

[haazen]

The hire rate is determined by the Medic's skill values:

These are the skills that determine hire rate.
Anatomy Tactics Macing Swords Fencing Archery MagicResist Healing Magery Parry

Add all these values together and divide by 35 is the hire rate.

So increase the skill values of the medic will raise the hire rate.
