Guys, i set skill veterinary as SKF_SCRIPTED and i have an issue, i cant make the skill fail.

when set action to -1 it fires @Abort and i dont know how to make fire @Fail

ON=@Start
// Fires when the skill begins.
// RETURN 1 = Prevent using the skill
// RETURN 0/2 = Allow skill to be used
// ACTION = -1 = Fail (@Fail).
// ACTDIFF = Skill required to succeed (0-100). Set to a negative value to fail the skill.

any clues

Hoooly shit! How many eval's do you need? Lol
As I said, you need code your own bandage system because its not accessible.

HAHAHAHAHAHA well i needed a lot evals

im doing my own bandage system, but i dont know what it has to do with the wrong fired trigger.... when ACTION = -1 it is suppose to fire a @FAIL trigger, instead it fires @abort
so i would code a simulated failing behavior but it may be a waste of time cause it might be a small bug or i m doing something wrong in the SKF SKILL
thats why i ask.

PD: i also tried with negative actdiff values and it prevents the skill success but fire trigger isnt fired neither.

is it possible to call the trigger when failing?? i mean something like:

Code:

[ITEMDEF 0e21]
DEFNAME=i_bandage
TYPE=t_bandage
blabla bla ...

ON=@Targon_Char
IF <ARGO.ISCREATURE>  // BRAINS 1, 10 and 13  which include tameable creatures
SKILLVETERINARY <ARGO> // function.
RETURN 1
ELSE
RETURN 0
ENDIF

Code:

ON=@Start
ACTDIFF = <R1,<EVAL <EVAL <EVAL <ACT.STR>+<ACT.DEX>+<ACT.INT>>*10>/<EVAL <EVAL <VETERINARY>/10>+1>>>
IF <ACTDIFF> >= <VETERINARY>
FULLTRIGGER @FAIL  // <--------something like this?
RETURN 1
ENDIF

<EVAL ((<ACT.STR>+<ACT.DEX>+<ACT.INT>) *10)/((<VETERINARY>/10)+1)>

You can simple use parenthesis to make your maths...
My bandage system is fully recoded, so its not use healing/veterinary triggers.
I can't understand why you are having trouble with this... Did you try @SkillFail?

ACTION=-1 will make you stop the action, so it's the same of abort the skill (@Abort)

to make sure it will fail (@Fail), you need to set a negative ACTDIFF (like -10), this will make the skill fail at the end of the action. And if you need a instant-fail just use ACTDIFF=-10 and then TIMER=0

Got it but i tried with negative ACTDIFF values and indeed it prevents the skill to success but it doesnt fire the fail trigger

Well, fulltrigger @skillfail did the job, which is great, would have been perfect if negatives actdiff values fire the @fail trigger but im ok with this..
thank you both guys.

SKF_SCRIPTED means scripted ... no defaults at all

Post: #8

understood, it's just not easy at first to know what is a default behavior and what is not.. for example @Gain and ADV_RATES .. im not so sure how they work under a SKF_SCRIPTED but they do pretty well actually, most of times there's no need to touch it, so i suppose it's something learnt by SUCCESS/ERROR intents. =]

Post: #9

Well, in this case... skf_scripted means .... nothing happens, absolutely nothing: no gains, fails, successes, actions, crafts, nothing at all.

There's a skillgain function, skillgain skill_id,difficulty to gain, ie: skillgain alchemy,1 will make a 100% gain on alchemy skill.

Post: #10

yes but difficulty is harder when higher??? and ARGN2 under @Gain it changes with adv_rates, nomatter if it or not SKF_SCRIPTED, its not neccesary to set a value, i suppose it checks ACT's and ACTDIFF to make some calculations about skillgaining...
