Hello again..

I love to learn sphere.. so i have to post my problems, im sorry if you see some many post here jejeje.

I was testing the parry skill.. and i see that i rise and block hits without a shield..

Its there a easy way to fix it?

i think about to add and if, but then i notice that i dont know how to tell sphere that if you are without a shield the skill dont rise or you cant block the hit...

Thanks in advance to all

you can use @UseQuick trigger on Parrying skill (sphere_skills.scp) to create an new parrying chance formula to override default sphere formula

I can't remember exactly but maybe return 1 will force the skill success and return 0 will force the skill to fail. Just take some caution because there's no skillgain when using return 0/1

I read here and i have other solution posible but idk if what i though can do... just i will tell u Coruja, sure u know if is posible and how.

Can do if u don't have a shield, the skill is disable... just work if u have shield on. I think if is posible is more easy to create new change formula... right ?

Thanks and i hope can work and help

that's what I've suggested on previous post, parrying chance formula is hardcoded but you can override it with your own formula using @UseQuick trigger on Parrying skill

something like this:

something like this:

Code:

ON=@UseQuick
IF !(<FINDLAYER.layer_hand2.ISARMOR>)   //always fail the skill if there's no shield equipped
  return 0
ENDIF

Thanks, but you say that and i read the wiki, and say that with the "return" value will not rise the skill..
So with this only will rise when he block an attack?
Or i have to use an "else" to make a return 1 so he block the attack?

Here i found that return 2 allows skill gain ( https://wiki.spherecommunity.net/index.p...own_Skills )
ON=@UseQuick
// Fires when the skill is used with the USEQUICK function
// ARGN2 = Skill difficulty (0-100, writable)
// ARGN3 = Whether or not attempt is successful (writable)
// RETURN 1 = Fail the skill attempt without skill gain
// RETURN 0 = Succeed the skill attempt without skill gain
// RETURN 2 = Proceed with skill gain (use ARGN3 to set fail or success)

return 0
else
return 2
ENDIF

or like this?

ON=@UseQuick
IF !(<FINDLAYER.layer_hand2.ISARMOR>) //always fail the skill if there's no shield equipped
return 0
ENDIF
IF !(<FINDLAYER.layer_hand2.ISSHIELD)
return 2
ENDIF

Maybe its better use t_shield?
Thanks!

Shield is considered an armor, so the first one is ok (isshield doesn't exist)

return 2 is the same of let the trigger/function do its default action like it doesn't have any return set. So return 2 basically stop the code execution and make the trigger return it's default result. Since you're only using the trigger for 1 purpose, you doesn't need to use return 2 at the end, this will make the trigger return its default value, which it will already do it anyway even with no return 2

so I can't see nothing wrong on this code
it will make the char fail the skill if there's no shield equipped (skill fail = no skill gain), or it will proceed with default result/gain if the shield exist

The behaviour of return 2 is valid for all triggrers?
