Skill Ball

[calebbreen]

Summary:
Hey

Just thought ill add this, cause i had a hard time finding it, then altering it so people couldnt get all there skills GM'd from one ball, im not a great scripter but i hope some people like it and use it.

Ive set it to give 1 skill at 100%, you can alter it to 50% 70% or what ever you wish.

Its made not movable, i had it as a item in a new characters bag, and so they couldnt make 1 character then make 10 characters or more and transfer the balls.

Well hope someone likes it.

look at charactercreation.cs
and see how items are added to new players

[orsamagnus]

If you wanted to just always give the players a choice of a higher skill when they start, you could just up the number of starting skill points from 100....

This script works great....Thank you scripter gods out there....now, is there a script available for Stat balls?

[fxmusicman]

A stat stone or statballs would work....either one.

A few key things to remember when giving out skill balls -

You have a few options to prevent exploits of massive gaining of skills
First off, if you dont require 0 skill (or below 50% or something), make sure that you have the skillball associated with a player, so that they cannot be transferred via new characters to allow someone to gain to the skillcap.

Another thing is, if you dont want to give owners, make sure you do restrict how they are used, because if you give each ball 50% skill gain charge, then someone can have balls given to them to gain 50% in EVERY skill (or to the skill cap).
So what I do is, give them 2 balls, put it into their bank, and dont make it movable. Then make it usable from the bank and require that the skill is 0%. If they try to use the ball, and there are no skills to gain (either goes over skill cap, or all skills are above 0%), then remove the ball.

a very good script

[Thorax]

this is a great script i have several skill balls i have modded from this script. ty for the contribution.

[Deacon Frosted]

I have it set up on my shard to give each player two 100's and one 85.

I would like to give them the choice to raise the skills they are given when they create the character. Example.

Warrior starts with:
50 Swords
30 Tactics
20 Healing (Im Typing on the fly those aren't actual numbers :-P)

I want that character to be able to raise lets say both Swords and Tacts to 100 with the two 100 balls, and healing to 85. But if they skill has any points in it it doesnt show on the gump for choosing a skill. I looked through the script and i might have missed the location of what the cut-off is for what skills can be choosen. Any help would be a blessing. Thanks in advance :-)

--Deacon

im stuck on this i DLed it and the thing imhaven trouble with is i put it on so cahrs start out with a skill ball but when they click on it a gump comes up says teh tittle but thats it... they cant choice what skill or anything .. Am i doing something wrong or do i need to cahnge something?

See I wish I could give my self this kinda of a help responce, It really hard for me to get this kind of help,

[Astro_Demon]

I have a problem with the script. It seems that when a player has more than 0 in a skill your skill ball wont let them add more to it mind helping me fix this?

[bazspeed]

I have the same problem. Its a very nice script, but only skills at 0 can be put to 100

[dh3002k1]

So go into your charactercreation.cs and modify it to start all characters skills at 0. Then they will be able to set any skill, and maybe make a ball for 60, as well, if your not planning on putting 7 skill balls in there.

[SphericalSolaris]

Anyway to make these balls give .1, .2, .3, .4, .5, .6, .7, .8, or .9 instead of only whole numbers?

I am sure there is a way but I cant figure it out and since you can make the skill balls maybe you have the knowledge on how this is done?
