RE: putting cooldown on scrolls - dunnetott - 02-18-2016 03:40 AM

how would i go about doing a cooldown for scrols invidualy so if i use say flame strike i can still use a magic reflect scroll after?

RE: putting cooldown on scrolls - karma - 02-18-2016 04:23 AM

Then i would use a CTAG on the player instead of a memory.

RE: putting cooldown on scrolls - Khaos - 02-18-2016 08:04 AM

Code:
on=@SpellCast
if (<argo.type> == t_scroll)
if (<restest 1 i_memory_scroll_cooldown>)
  src.smsg You cannot use a scroll again til <findlayer.layer_memory.baseid.i_memory_scroll_cooldown.timer> seconds.
  return 1
endif
if (<argn1> == s_flamestrike)
  serv.newitem i_memory_scroll_cooldown,,<uid>
  new.timer = 5
endif
endif

Add this to your players. You can control what scrolls do what by checking the argn1. No point in adding a ctag for every delay.
You would still need his memory object by the way.
Optimized in my edits some more. This should be more concise.

Code:
on=@SpellCast
if (<argo.type> == t_scroll)
if (<restest 1 i_memory_scroll_cooldown>)
  src.smsg You cannot use a scroll again til <findlayer.layer_memory.baseid.i_memory_scroll_cooldown.timer> seconds.
  return 1
endif
if (<argn1> == s_flamestrike)
  serv.newitem i_memory_scroll_cooldown,,<uid>
  new.timer = 5
endif
endif

do i need to put this after every spell or?

RE: putting cooldown on scrolls - Khaos - 02-18-2016 08:32 AM

Just plop it on SKILLCLASS 0 or a player event. This way it affects all players.

then you can edit this block or add more blocks to add more times.
Code:
if (<argn1> == s_flamestrike)
  serv.newitem i_memory_scroll_cooldown,,<uid>
  new.timer = 5
endif

for instance you could do this to add in more timers to other spells from scrolls:

Code:
on=@SpellCast
if (<argo.type> == t_scroll)
if (<restest 1 i_memory_scroll_cooldown>)
  src.smsg You cannot use a scroll again til <findlayer.layer_memory.baseid.i_memory_scroll_cooldown.timer> seconds.
  return 1
endif
if (<argn1> == s_flamestrike||s_fireball)
  serv.newitem i_memory_scroll_cooldown,,<uid>
  new.timer = 5
endif
if (<argn1> == s_poison)
  serv.newitem i_memory_scroll_cooldown,,<uid>
  new.timer = 7
endif
endif
People use player events to control player triggers globally. I just use skillclass 0 and set my GM's to use skillclass # with a higher skillcap/statcap and gm code in triggers.

RE: putting cooldown on scrolls - karma - 02-18-2016 08:44 AM

src.smsg You cannot use a scroll again til <findlayer.layer_memory.baseid.i_memory_scroll_cooldown.timer> seconds.
I would change that in:
src.smsg You cannot use a scroll again til <FINDID.i_memory_scroll_cooldown.timer> seconds.
^^

Also, i suggested CTAGs because he wants to have a cooldown for each spell, so if he uses a flamestrike scroll he wouldn't be able to use another one until <TIMER>, but he can use a energy bolt scroll. He can set CTAG.scrollcooldown_<SPELL's DEFNAME> = <EVAL <SERV.TIME>+(<YOUR DELAY in seconds>*10)> and then check IF (<SERV.TIME> > <CTAG.scrollcooldown_<DEFNAME>>) to cast another one, just to give an idea.

RE: putting cooldown on scrolls - Khaos - 02-18-2016 08:52 AM

Findid SEEMS cleaner (it really isn't. It runs a loop), but I prefer to point to the object instead of having sphere check every layer in a forloop to find that ID.

Ctag could be useful, but you'd be storing a lot of tags and running a lot of timers as well. Though it might not seem intensive, though unlikely, if a server had 1,000 players all casting and using scrolls or whatever, the delays would pile up. If he wants to go that route, then sure, I can script up a quick example. But, it is not ideal.
FINDID and all that process loops through all objects on a character in all layers. This is more processing than needed when you can just point to the item itself.
Cleaner programming Wink Less resource intensive.

try this
You were running 2 @SpellCast triggers which the first one was exiting off the second call with return 1 and return 0. I also cleaned up your allowed spells as well. This should run smoother. Let me know if there are any errors.
Added another check for spellbook casting versus scroll.
Added spell check for spell 0 to not be allowed.

RE: putting cooldown on scrolls - dunnetott - 02-18-2016 11:52 PM

still does not work for some reason
could you explain this line for me like im 3? if (<argn1> == 0||25||26||30) <- what are the numbers? are they the spells or something more like "magic circle" definition? or do i have to add all the spell ids like if (<argn1> == 0||1||2||3||4||5||6||25||26||30) ?

the memory scroll is loaded to when i add it in game it works so i have no clue what might be wrong :/
would it be okay if i pm you Khaos?
