Play Dead skill not sticking despite giving skill.

[behelit]

Hello!

I want to give job classes other than novice the "Play Dead" skill... But when I try using a script, the results are always temporary. It will be lost when the user logs off or changes equipment. I've tried the following:

skill 143,1,0;

skill 143,1,3;

But neither seems to make it "stick". How do I permanently give jobs other than novice the Play Dead skill?

you have to use

*addtoskill <skill id>,<level>{,<flag>};
*addtoskill "<skill name>",<level>{,<flag>};

These commands will give the invoking character a specified skill. This is also
used for item scripts.

This does not work. I tried:

addtoskill 143,1,3;
and
addtoskill 143,1,0;

There seems to be no difference between that and the skill command. The Play Dead skill will not stick if not a novice class.

Well, I tested it and it does not work, sir. If you use normal skills, such as warp portal or greed, it works. If you use play dead, it does not.  Why would I need to use onpclogin for play dead, when I DO NOT for other skills?

I'm just curious... How extensively did you test it? Here are the facts:

skill ???,1,3; works on every other skill I've tried. And indeed works on Play Dead... until you logout, change equipment, or change maps. Any of these things will make the skill disappear. You can use something like onpclogin, and Play Dead indeed shows up... until you logout, change equipment, or change maps. Then it's gone. This also tells me it's not a lua issue. There is something, server side, which automatically removes Play Dead from classes other than novice when you logout, change equipment, or change maps. THATS what I'm trying to fix. I want to permanently give  some classes the Play Dead skill, and that simply isn't possible with your solution. Got anything else?
