How do I disable a skill for a certain character, not all characters?

[jingz2k2]

Hello hello again.

I would like to ask if it is possible to disable a skill or two from a certain player character but not every players' characters.

Is this possible by commands or by items? Just wondering. Because I want to disable some skills as a punishment for my friend for calling me a lamer!

Woooot lol! Help me pwn him? Please reply if anyone knows such way. Muhahahahha *grins*

In the code, when trying to use a skill, you could check if a certain account tag is present and then *not* execute the rest of the script.
Alternatively you could do it on serial and only disable it for a specific character, but you will have to vaguely know what your doing then.
It's very possible and there are many ways to do it basically.

You can lower skillcap for them:
[set skills.alchemy.cap 0

[DreamCatcher]

Go into your [props and go to skills on them, put them to -0- Unless they have some powers they can't change it back...

Dreamcatcher,

I set the dude's focus to -0- and it gives me a message:
Bad format. ###.# expected.

Imperior
I tried lowering his cap lol.
[set skills.focus.cap 0

Guess what he did next...
*Bank*
*Gets powerscroll*

New cap, 120.

Lol

Shadow1980,
I think I understand the "tag" part. It's in the Accounts.xml right? Or [Admin command and account>tags.

I also understand about "serial"(finally) lol. Every character/item has its own unique serial number right?

But I can't find the code or script.

[DreamCatcher]

You do [props and set it to 0 not actually put -0- Lol

[jingz2k2]

When I set it to 0, they can still gain it from the beginning. All they have to do is go to champ spawn and get the powerscroll. lol!

Oh well..

[Icon]

or do [props on him set skillcap=0 then he cant gain any skills nada zip/zero not going to happen


Hk

[jingz2k2]

Hahaha! Yeah that works.

But I want them to play still but without good skills. Like chivalry/magery/blacksmithing or something.

Then again... I don't know a way.

[Imperior]

If I were you I would change Items\Special\Special Scrolls\PowerScroll.cs ~229 from:
if ( skill != null )
to:
if ( skill != null && skill.Cap > 0 )

and as I said before:
[set skills.focus.cap 0

He won't change it now

[Liacs]

hehe, delete the powerscrolls on your shard *hehe* or at least out of his bank

Actually the skill cap way is much better than adding tags all over.
Simply edit the power scroll script to NOT work if the skill cap is at 0.
It'll be much safer and easier than messing with acount tags and a lot more cpu friendly than checking serial each time.
