Hello,

quick question - is there a trigger which fires every time hits/stam/mana of character is changed?

Even if it's by health regen.

@statchange works only if STR (etc) is changed, but not current health

Thanks

No, no such trigger... sorry.

How bad idea would it be to make some memory on every player, which would check every second, if HP (of the player) changed?

Could this lag the server? Cause instability? I'm talking about 50 players online at max.

Also, how would you use script profiler to check this?

Not really, as long as the timer is triggered only if the player is logged in. Here's a little example I thought up of for you:

Code:

[function checkstat]

if (<isempty <tag.statchange_hits>>) || (<isempty <tag.statchange_mana>>) || (<isempty <tag.statchange_stam>>)

  tag.statchange_hits=<hits>

  tag.statchange_mana=<mana>

  tag.statchange_stam=<stam>

else

  if !(<dtag0.statchange_hits>==<hits>)

    trigger @statchange_hits

  endif

  if !(<dtag0.statchange_mana>==<mana>)

    trigger @statchange_mana

  endif

  if !(<dtag0.statchange_stam>==<stam>)

    trigger @statchange_stam

  endif

endif

if (<isonline>)

  timerf 1, checkstat

else

  tag.statchange_hits=

  tag.statchange_mana=

  tag.statchange_stam=

endif

Pass 'checkstat' upon every player that logs in to start the function, use @statchange_hits, @statchange_mana, and @statchange_stam as triggers in player events to code the things you need to.

Works like a charm, thanks a lot.

I use something similar (mine is a 10 second timer object in every player's memory) for the focus skill:

Code:

[ITEMDEF i_focus_timer]

ID=i_candle_thin_lit

TYPE=t_eq_script

LAYER=layer_special

WEIGHT=0

ON=@Create

   ATTR=attr_decay|attr_can_decay

   TIMER=10

ON=@Timer

   IF (<CONT.STAM> < <CONT.MAXSTAM>) || (<CONT.HITS> < <CONT.MAXHITS>) || (<CONT.MANA> < <CONT.MAXMANA>)

      LOCAL.Difficulty=<EVAL <CONT.Focus> / 10>

      IF (<LOCAL.Difficulty> > 90)

         LOCAL.Difficulty=90

      ENDIF

      IF (<LOCAL.Difficulty> < 10)

         LOCAL.Difficulty=10

      ENDIF

      CONT.SKILLGAIN focus <LOCAL.Difficulty>

   ENDIF

   TIMER=10

   RETURN 1

No one thought of the @userStats trigger? It's not well documented in the wiki, but in the revisions, it says that it is triggered at every status update, and if ARGN3=1 then it's the user that opened the status window.
Maybe this could help?

The wiki says "Fires when the player opens the status window" and it says "This trigger fires when a status update is sent to a player"... so which is it?

Both?

It only updates when status window is opened or when stats (STR, DEX, INT, not health or mana) is changed. I've already tried it...
