Skill lock

[Pumpkins]

Hello,

i have a question.. how i get working the skill lock?

i use the .skills from zulu hotel distro and it dont work, the classic skills menu from the papeldoll dont work too..


there is a way to get it working in pol095? thanks.

i know the 095 is no longer supported.. but 095 still in use in SOME shards.. this old problem should be fixed..

i love the pol support.. :mad:

Pumpkins here's a link to skill locks for POL 0.96. Maybe this will help you with doing it in POL 0.95.

Thats for packet hooks though. Packet hooks aren't supported on 095.

Yep. You're right CWO. Sorry Pumpkins. Maybe this will make up for my mistake. Did you replace the CheckSkillCap function in AttributeCore.src with the following one?

Code: Select all

function CheckSkillCap(who, ev)
  var attributeid := ev.skid;
  var priorValue;
  var theId;
  var lowerholder;
  var lockArray := GetObjProperty(who, "SkLockArray");

  priorValue := GetAttributeBaseValue(who, attributeid);

  if(priorValue < 1000)
    if (ev.base > priorValue)  // Adding Skill, check for lock set to up
      if ((!lockArray) ||
          (lockArray[GetSkillIdByAttributeId(attributeid) + 1] == 0))
        SetAttributeBaseValue(who, attributeid, Cint(ev.base));
      endif
    elseif (ev.base < priorValue) // Lowering Skill, check for lock set to down
      if ((lockArray != error) &&
          (lockArray[GetSkillIdByAttributeId(attributeid) + 1] == 1))
        SetAttributeBaseValue(who, attributeid, Cint(ev.base));
      endif
    endif
  endif

  if(GetAttributeBaseValue(who, attributeid) > 1000)
    priorValue := 1000;
    SetAttributeBaseValue(who, attributeid, 1000);
  endif

  var skillarray := GetObjProperty(who,"SkillArray");
  var skilltotal := 0;
  var skillval := 0;
  var check := 0;
  var loops := 0;
  var holder, newval, final;
  var base, mods, true;
  while(check == 0)
    if(loops >= 6)
      if (priorValue < GetAttributeBaseValue(who, attributeid))
        SetAttributeBaseValue(who, attributeid, priorValue);
      endif
      break;
    endif
    skilltotal := 0;
    lowerholder := -1;

    for (theId := 0; theID < SKILLID__HIGHEST; theID := theID + 1)
      true := GetBaseSkillBaseValue(who, theID);
      base := Cint(true - GetAttributeIntrinsicMod(who, GetAttributeIdBySkillId(theId)));
      skilltotal := skilltotal + base;

      if ( (base > 0) &&
           (lockarray != error) &&
           (lockarray[theId + 1] == 1) )
        lowerholder := theId;
      elseif (base > 0)
        holder := theId;
      endif

      if ((lowerholder >= 0) && (skilltotal > CONST_SKILLCAP))
        break;
      endif
    endfor

    if (lowerholder >=0)
      holder := lowerholder;
    endif

    if(skilltotal > CONST_SKILLCAP)
      newval := GetBaseSkillBaseValue(who, holder);
      final := (newval - 1);
      SetBaseSkillBaseValue(who, holder, final);
    else
      check := 1;
    endif
    loops := loops + 1;
  endwhile
  return 1;
endfunction

If not then open AttributeCore.src found in \pkg\foundations\hooks and replace the CheckSkillCap function in there with the one above. I believe it is what you need to make the skill locks work. Be sure to make a backup of the AttributeCore.src file just in case this causes undesireable results. I can't help with support for this. It is provided as is. I dug it out of my "script mines" but I think it is what you need.
