I need an example of how to code Curse seal,okay here I go. I want an NPC to bite someone and they have a 1/30 chance of getting bitten and their level has to be passed 260 or the NPC won't even attempt to bite the player.
After the player has been bitten they have a 1/10 of chance of getting cursed,after the player gets passed all that they get the seal.Once you get the seal your nin,gen and tai will double,How would I do all that XD.

When should the victim recieve a seal? Should he recieve it when he's been bitten, but not cursed, or when he's been both bitten and cursed? | |

Wizz: If you still don't get it, go ask a naruto fan ( These names remind me of names my friend ( a naruto fan ) spoke ) .

He has to be bitten and cursed in order to get the seal. That answers one question of mine, but you still haven't told me the type path of your seal object. "mob/player" is an example of a type path, if you didn't answer because you don't know what a type path is. Anyway, assuming that the type path of the seal is /obj/seal, then you would do something like this: mob </dm> | |

Well, if I understand correctly, then I think that you're looking for something like this: mob/player | |

I keep getting this: My fault! I forgot to type cast (not to mention defining /mob/player/stamina!). Fixed: mob/player The above snippet assumes two things:
The second assumption is a pretty big one, and probably isn't true. If you're planning on a "poison" status effect, for example, you probably want NPCs to have access to drain(). Therefore, if the second assumption is false, you should use this one: mob also to make this a learning experience,I'm going to study the code till I know what everything does. Good! =) In the code, I make use of a pre-defined associative list called atom.vars, whch contains all of an atoms variables in the format, variable_name == value. You can read about associative lists in chapter 10 of the DM Guide, and in a great article by Lummox JR. | |

Edit: I was reading the dm guide chapter 10, I don't get a thing he is doing :(. | |
The only part I do not understand is, this part.
mob/player | |
It's not really possible to explain that snippet to you unless you understand associative lists. Please try reading the two sources I gave you earlier in the thread. If, in one of the sources, there's anything that you don't understand, I'll try to explain it to you! =)

Looking at this code now I do see a couple of minor problems. The biggest is that when a drain_var is reset, the value is never actually removed from the drain_vars list, so that list will never be deleted because it will never be empty once it's created.
Another minor issue is that it isn't possible to cause two drains simultaneously without screwing up the stats, nor can one of them be stopped while the other continues. Savefiles are also an issue. Because the proc is the only thing keeping track of timing, it'll never be possible to restart the drain after a character is reloaded. Because a drain effect is likely to be temporary and will probably only be used in limited ways, my suggestion would be a datum. Actually, a linked list or a heap would do nicely. stat_effect The above code is pretty complicated, particularly with that loopid thing which needs some explanation. Basically the StatEffects() proc knows it's going to be called more than once, because if a new /stat_effect is added to the chain it might need to be processed before the last sleep() is finished. Therefore, loopid keeps track of whether this instance of the proc is the most up-to-date; if it doesn't match effectloopid, the proc should stop running because somewhere another instance of StatEffects() is already on the case. For this code, the curse seal would create new/stat_effect(player, "stamina",-200,300). To end that drain, you'd call player.EndStatEffect("stamina",-200,300). Lummox JR | |
Up to there, I was able to follow you:
I didn't quite understand what you were talking about there.
On the forums, it's very important to be clear, specific, and informative. Your excessive use of pronouns made it really hard to understand you, and the run-on sentences didn't really help either =P.
If you need more help than that which I've already provided, then please rephrase your request. It's particularly unclear as to what a "seal" is (tell us the type path!), and when they should get it. Should the victim get the seal if and only if he's been cursed? Should the victim recieve it if and only if he's been bitten, but not cursed? Should the victim recieve it regardless of what happens? Please specify.
