Thanks, I think it is the only part that isn't like OSI, never bought a warrior adv char from them though

[Barondaredevile]

Yo, I like the script but at least for me, with nothing but distro scripts and a few new items, these scripts also set the resistances for whomever enters them static. This, in my eyes, is a major problem. I'm runnin rc1.0. Is there something on my end causing this? Has anyone else experienced this? Please reply because I'd like to use these on my shard. Thanks!

Great script iv been looking for one like this...Good work

If i can make a suggestion when they walk though the gate maybe they could only click one button and they get all warrior skills that you put...

[deathstorm]

Replace {gatename} with one of the following names:

BardGate
BlacksmithGate
MageGate
NecromancerGate
PaladinGate
TamerGate
TreasureHunterGate
WarriorGate

Example:
[add bardgate
or
[add warriorgate

[Draxus]

This is a nice idea, but when you say when you wealk through the gate it sets to those settings. Does that mean it sets it so those are the caps for each skill and stat? Or does it set it RIGHT to that amount when you go in it?

If so where is the regular gate that you can pick your 'Base' class or w/e

[swppws]

say you pick
MageGate -

85 Magery
85 Resist Spells
85 Evaluate Intelligence
70 Inscription
70 Meditation
80 Strength
35 Dexterity
100 Intelligence

When you walk into you just click one button and you get all the skill above!

[Draxus]

Ah Ok, so it isn't a class gate where it sets those to being the caps. . .

Nope, this is just a script that will allow you to offer the same perks that OSI does for advancing your characters in game.

Great Script, btw....the problem is this:

When a new character enters the gate room and picks his/her template. Everything works great. However, if they immediately go into another gate, it gives them THAT template as well. Not clearing the previous template or keeping them gaining the second template.

Could someone direct me to fixing this? I would appreciate it.

The only suggestion for a work around for this is to put the gates in different rooms. These are not meant to be used as class or race gates. If you reset the players attributes on each walk through the gate then you will have some players very upset at losing skills that they may want to have kept. If anyone else has any suggestions just let me know.

[Dark Rage]

Thanks for the reply.

Well, I obviously implemented them on the shard, tested, and found that problem, so it was important to get it fixed quickly before anyone could see that and take advantage of it.

Now, I needed help because it's been a long time since I scripted in c# and I wasn't that great to begin with. I know that there was an easy way to do it...a line of code.......but I couldnt think of it and for the life of me couldnt find anything on the forums.....

So, what I did was set every other skill for each gate to set at 0.

So, now when a player enters one gate, they'll get the template....if they try to enter another gate, the first template will be removed and the new template added.

That is another possible solution. What happens when the person using the gate already has some skills that they want to keep? Then again they ARE trying to cheat the system so it is their problem but still, it could cause some issues. Either way, glad to see you got it working.

[Dark Rage]

Yeah, that could be a problem IF I allowed that. Basically they have the choice, Adv character templates (which I may make others and other styles of templates) or they go from scratch. UP to them.

So, I dont deal with complaints that way.

Thanks for the script.

[Eowyn]

Thank you ever so much, Raisor!! Exactly what I was looking for and zero problems with starting up sever and zero problems in making skillgates!

Best wishes and good cheer during the Holidays and throughout the year.


Sincerely,

Eowyn/aka Ilivarra

Darkness, that's what I wanted as well. It's really very easy. You already have the line of code in each script for each template. Just duplicate that line for every skill and set the skill at 0.

Share the wealth Dark, toss up your modified scripts here - Nobody here looks forward to carpal tunnel all that much, I doubt

TIA,

[sicron]

thanks for the script, this will help me out alot as I plan to reopen my small server for just some friends to play on... now I wont have to hear them complain that I wasnt on to help their new chars start out as I dont really have the time to really run a shard properly...and if they want a gm skilled char they will still have to do some working on it : ]
