[RunUO 2.0 RC1] Lokai's Advanced Player Gate

[Lokai]

Advanced Player Gate Script for RunUO 2.0
Script version# 6.07.12
by Lokai

Additional scripting by Mum_Chamber and Alcore

Completely rescripted for RunUO 2.0, and completely redesigned for maximum performance.

Description:
This gate allows GameMasters to create (IN GAME) custom gates that perform a variety of functions. They can teleport to somewhere, they can change the Player's Stats, Skills, or Hue, they can Resurrect the Player, or they can do all of these things and more. This can be used as a Profession Gate, a Resurrection Gate, a Race Gate, a Class Gate, or an Event Gate.

To Use:
Simply add this script to your RunUO 2.0 custom scripts folder. Then, use the [add command to create an AdvancedPlayerGate, and use [props command to adjust the many built-in features.

NEW! Now you can adjust many features from the GateDialogGump!

HERE IS THE CURRENT LIST OF FEATURES THAT CAN BE ACCESSED BY THE GUMP:

• Increase/Decrease each Skill
• Increase/Decrease each Stat
• Increase/Decrease each Skill Cap
• Toggle On/Off Skills
• Toggle On/Off Stats
• Toggle On/Off Skill Caps
• Toggle On/Off Resurrection
• Toggle On/Off Adding Title
• Toggle On/Off Skills Giving Items
• Edit Gate Message
• Edit Title Given to Players

Update at 15/08/2004 by Mum_Chamber
The gate now can add a title of your choice, limit the number of players, show a custom message, give items (blessed or not) and take them back. (May be useful for Events.)

Hold up on any installs. I am checking out a Null Reference error....

[AtlantisReborn]

Very nice script! +karma

[Vhaerun]

You still have the null reference error problem, Lokai? Or is it ready for download and installation? We're looking forward to using this as a keystone to our extensive race system.

Thanks. I still think its not ready. Someone asked me to try to integrate a change Mum_Chamber had made to my old 1.0 script which gives specific items to people based on Targeting. It is still pretty buggy unfortunately.

I have been trying to make it work, but have been running into some roadblocks, including lack of time to work on it....

Anyway, if you want a stable version, please download my original 2.0 release which you can find in the Archive scripts section here:

Advanced Player Gate for RunUO 2.0 RC1

SORRY, JUST FIXED THE URL ABOVE. IT NOW TAKES YOU TO THE ARCHIVED SCRIPT. whew!

Yes, still have the Null Reference error. It's worse, actually. When I target the items that I want it to use as a model for which items to give out, it actually makes changes to THOSE targeted items. It's eerie....

Love this script Lokai. Was the perfect solution for a caste system I was wanting to add to one of my playable races.

One question.

Could you help me locate where in the script the actual action of walking through the gate first occurs?

I would like to add a gump that asks the player if they are sure they want to go through it since it will make them unable to learn certain skills. Dont want people going through it on accident. hehe

My Gate is derived from the regular Moongate. The only thing I override is the 'UseGate' routine. (This is actually a flaw in my system, since setting the gate to 'Felucca' could cause the 'Confirm' gump to come up, and I did not really want that.) I also override the OnDoubleClick routine, because I wanted that to bring up the GateDialogGump instead.

You have a couple options. You can write your own routine and place everything in the 'UseGate' routine inside a big 'IF' loop. Or, you could override the Moongate's other routines that I never called, like OnMoveOver, or something.

Technically, I suppose OnMoveOver is the routine that actually gets the whole ball rolling. In a Moongate, the sequence of routines is like this:

OnMoveOver or OnDoubleClick calls CheckGate
CheckGate calls a DelayTimer
DelayTimer calls DelayCallback
DelayCallback calls BeginConfirmation
BeginConfirmation calls EndConfirmation
EndConfirmation calls UseGate

Whew! You can check those routines if you want to see what each one does.

Or you could just set the destination to somewhere in the same room and use another gate for their exit.

Everyone,

Just something to watch for in this. A couple times I made a gate, and did not set any STR, DEX or INT on it, but accidentally left the 'ChangesStats' to True. BIG mistake.

If anyone goes through it, it sets their Stats to '0', hehe. They can't move or cast spells or anything! Plus it strips them naked! That'll teach em.

Heh, yeah me and my brother found that out the hard way when we were testing it. Kind of embarrassing getting plopped down in front of LBs castle with nothing but your birthday suit and being unable to figure out whats going on.

[m00er]

Very nice script! Was just wondering what line the location for the teleport function was on!

[obelix952]

I agree, very nice script only one problem i have found

when players click on the gate and the item option comes up and any player or myself clicks on it and targets an item we get a crash

i have commented those lines of the script out, or i think i did
regardless this is the crash were getting, just bringing this to your attnetion bud
other than that nice job

I dropped the script in and restarted shard. Set props to change skills and stats. Set all stats to 100 and certain skills to what I wanted. Then I used my player character and walked through gate. Everything worked as expected except for his stats did not change from what they were before he walked through the gate. Any thoughts?

[Lokai]

You are quite right, obelix. I have never been able to get the Item part to work since updating it from the old version. I just moved 1400 miles north from Florida to Rochester, NY, so I am not quite settled in, but this script is about 4th on my list when I get started again. In the meantime, please comment out the Item sections, as you are doing.

Thanks.

LNewman, all I can figure is that you have the boolean value set to false that states whether stats change or not. (right?)

Great script I have modified items to work with my shard. Now my question is How would I add some sort of check, on lets say their stats, if they have the gates set amount it tells them they cant go through again, but if they dont have it, it will let them proceed through the gate? I do not understand C# but I am good at figuring stuff out, so a point in the right direction would be helpful.

Thanks,
Merlinman27

[Lokai]

PHP Code:

if ( from.STR > 100 || from.INT > 100 || from.DEX > 100 )
{
     from.SendMessage( "You may not use the Gate again, due to your Stat level.";
     return false;
} 


Something like that?

Yes that would be perfect, now just to find where it goes lol. Sorry learning this stuff as it goes. I didnt want put the wrong thing in and wind up messing the whole thing up lol.

[Merlinman27]

Never mind, with a fresh pair of eyes and larger amount of mt. dew I got it to work. ty for giving me the command.

Thank you,

I figure that may be it's better to give out skill items based on player's skill level instead of the gate settings.

if (_SkillsGiveItems)
{
    Server.Skills s = m.Skills;
    for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; ++i)
        //if (gAllSkills[i] >= _SkillsItemsMin)
        if (s[i].Base >= _SkillsItemsMin)
            SkillsItems((SkillName)i, m);
}

[Lokai]

The gate gives out items based on the gate skill setting because the gate is already setting all skills anyway. The gate assumes that a player has no skills to speak of. So, when the gate gives someone 60 mage and 70 carpentry, if the 'SkillsItemsMin' is set to 65 it will only give them carpentry items, but if the value is 55 then it will give them both mage and carpentry items.

            SkillsItems((SkillName)i, m);
}

Thanks Lokai.

You are right. I said so just because I need to set up the last gate in the new player area, then give him all the newbie stuff (bookoftravel...etc) together with some stuff depending on his chosen profession.

That's why I tweak the code such that the gate gives out skill items depending on both the gate setting and the player's skill chosen.

if (_SkillsGiveItems)
{
    Server.Skills s = m.Skills;
    for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; ++i)
        if ((gAllSkills[i] >= _SkillsItemsMin) && (s[i].Base >= _SkillsItemsMin))
            SkillsItems((SkillName)i, m);
}

I don't mean it's better (my bad), I mean someone may need it behave that way.


Thanks and your scripts are awesome.

[Lokai]

Thanks.

I can see how someone might use that. Cool.

[neuton]

I am getting this error after carefully merging Lokai's ShardControl/AdvancedPlayerGate script to mine, any one have any ideas?
