Npc skill trainers

[Count_Duckula]

Righty,
Is it possible to edit a single vendor trainer to teach say only one skill to a very high level? Or do I need to create individual npc scripts?
See, this is my idea, I want to create wandering "Grandmaster Trainers" that will be difficult to find but each of these trainers will be able to train one specific skill all the way to skillcap - at a price off course
I might even want these npc's to appear only when a char has accomplished something like with the Wind city.
Btw, I kinda suck at scripting - although I can at least edit existing scripts, well with a lot of trial and error, so I can use all the help I can get

2 ways to do it:

1) make new npc's that will train fro gold being dropped on them (like 1 for each skill or dupping normal ones scripts and modifying as below)

or

2) there is a skill train cap and % to train to in the vendors
i believe the default is 1/3 and 33 (might be 30)
so at 100 skill will train to 1/3 (33.3) but capped at 33
or 120 skill - 1/3 is 40 but capped at 33 to 33 max again

since the vendors normaly do not have skill above 100 (can check their scripts) if you raise the 33 cap up - should have no problem
just give your "super trainers" 300 skill and can train to 100 is cap is set to 100
but they still only charge 1 gold per 1/10 skill trained

but that can be adjusted also in the same script

i believe it is all in base vendor

Hello,

I have tried befor to set thier skills to 300 allowing them to teach a play to 100 skill for 1000 gold. When I have set thier skill to 300 it still will only allow a 420gold skill gain for 42 points. Anyone know whats up or a way around this?


Thanks

look at the capping for it like i said - also look in basevendor ondragdrom method for it also

[warduke]

Ive gone thru line by line the basevendor.cs and cant find it. I see vales for respawns, BoD and such but no skill training cap. Thanks for the help Ill keep surching.

I can be of partial help maybe.

I made my vendors sell the skills up to 80.0 but at a cheap price (800 gold -_-)
Go into Scripts\Engines\AI\Creature\BaseCreature.cs

Find:

int baseToSet = ourSkill.BaseFixedPoint / 3;

			if ( baseToSet > 420 )
				baseToSet = 420;
			else if ( baseToSet < 200 )
				return TeachResult.Failure;

			if ( baseToSet > theirSkill.CapFixedPoint )
				baseToSet = theirSkill.CapFixedPoint;

			pointsToLearn = baseToSet - theirSkill.BaseFixedPoint;

Change to:

int baseToSet = ourSkill.BaseFixedPoint / 3;
/*
			if ( baseToSet > 420 )
				baseToSet = 420;
			else if ( baseToSet < 200 )
				return TeachResult.Failure;
*/
			if ( baseToSet > theirSkill.CapFixedPoint )
				baseToSet = theirSkill.CapFixedPoint;

			pointsToLearn = baseToSet - theirSkill.BaseFixedPoint;

For the next part I couldn't find a easier way to do this, but I went into every NPC file in Scripts\Mobiles\Vendors\NPC and changed thier skills to 240 ( 240 / 3 = 80.0 ).

Example:

[Constructable]
		public Alchemist() : base( "the alchemist" )
		{
			SetSkill( SkillName.Alchemy,240.0 );
			SetSkill( SkillName.TasteID, 240.0 );
		}

Hope this helps someone

EDIT:

It could be...

int baseToSet = ourSkill.BaseFixedPoint / 3;
/*
			if ( baseToSet > 420 )
				baseToSet = 420;
			else if ( baseToSet < 200 )
				return TeachResult.Failure;

			if ( baseToSet > theirSkill.CapFixedPoint )
				baseToSet = theirSkill.CapFixedPoint;
*/
			pointsToLearn = baseToSet - theirSkill.BaseFixedPoint;

I'm not sure I don't have it set like this anymore, but one of the two ways will work
