Hi all

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for this... :/

I've overwritten the begging skill, with farming skill, including editing the MULs and .IDX files.

Ive added it under class_undeclared also.

In game, if I type .set farming 500 or .set 6 500 it works no problems.

These are extracts from the scripts....

[SKILL 6]
DEFNAME=SKILL_Farming
KEY=Farming
TITLE=Farmer
PROMPT_MSG=
DELAY=
ADV_RATE=10.0,150.0,600.0
STAT_STR=0
STAT_INT=0
STAT_DEX=0
BONUS_STR=0
BONUS_DEX=0
BONUS_INT=0
BONUS_STATS=0

[SKILLCLASS 0]
DEFNAME=Class_undeclared
NAME=undeclared
STATSUM=350
SKILLSUM=10000.0
STR=175
INT=175
DEX=175
Alchemy=100.0
Anatomy=100.0
AnimalLore=100.0
ItemId=100.0
ArmsLore=100.0
Parrying=100.0
Farming=100.0
...etc

When in game, i've set my farming to 5.0 and using this function, I always get the "Yep" debug message but the farming skill never increases?

[FUNCTION f_farm_setrates]
IF (<SRC.FARMING> >= 0) && (<SRC.FARMING> < 100) // 0 - 9.9
SRC.SYSMESSAGE @,,1 Yep
SRC.SKILLGAIN Farming 1 // HAVE ALSO TRIED SRC.SKILLGAIN 6 1
RETURN 1
ENDIF


...Just wondering what i am doing wrong?

Thanks for your help

have you checked under the skill some triggers like @start
ON=@Start
serv.log Yep

then you might check some other things

ON=@Success
serv.log <ACTDIFF>

ON=@Gain
serv.log <ARGN2>

then trying using the skill and see what you get.

and under what event is your function executed?

Cheers kn4tseb - i did away with the .skillgain in the end as i couldnt get it to work.
although i now understand that simply doing src.skillgain alchemy 1 would not work without scripting additional under @gain on the alchemy skill

excelent, would you share to us or me what you coded under the @gain trigger? ;D

try using SKILLUSEQUICK or SKILLGAIN 6 1, maybe it will work fine
