Floating Rates

[Ron]

I tried working on this on my own, but I cant seem to configure it..

Basically; A Floating Rates script that activates when there is say... 50+ players, and it deactivates when there is < 35 players.

It would also randomize the rates between 5x ~ 10x

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean exp rate?

I have never made a script like this before, but I think I know how you can do it.

1. You have the floating script and it works right?

2. You could make an NPC that is like onhour or onclock that it checks sql on how many players are online, so like you said if it was 50+ it would use enablenpc on floating rates or disable it if its less than 35.

This is an interesting script, hope my advice helps.

@PokemonRO: You're right about event labels, but that wouldn't quite be accurate enough. o:

@Ron:

I'm sure you've seen Lupus' script already (I hope you have, at least), so you should know that rate manipulation involves setting battleflags and reloading the mob database afterward. That part's easy.

So all that's really left is to track player count - which can be done either when a player logs in or out. Create an OnPCLoginEvent label and another for OnPCLogoutEvent, followed by:

getusers(1) // for login
getusers(1) - 1 // for logout

Do some conditionals, and you should know where to go from there.

Yes, Heres the script I currently use;

- script FloatingRates -1,{

OnPCLoginEvent:

OnPCLogoutEvent:

if (getusers(1) >= 2) {

if (getbattleflag("base_exp_rate")==7000 && getbattleflag("job_exp_rate")==7000) {

set $@brate,rand(7000,10000);

set $@jrate,rand(7000,10000);

setbattleflag "base_exp_rate", $@brate;

setbattleflag "job_exp_rate", $@jrate;

announce "Rates have changed due to player peak! Current Rates: "+($@brate/100)+"x"+($@jrate/100)+"x"+($@drate/100)+"x",bc_blue|bc_all;

}

} else if (getusers(1) < 1) {

if (getbattleflag("base_exp_rate")>70000 || getbattleflag("job_exp_rate")>70000) {

set $@brate,7000;

set $@jrate,7000;

setbattleflag "base_exp_rate", $@brate;

setbattleflag "job_exp_rate", $@jrate;

announce "Rates have returned to normal! Current Rates: "+($@brate/100)+"x"+($@jrate/100)+"x"+($@drate/100)+"x",bc_blue|bc_all;

}

}

end;

}

Basically for some reason it just does not work! Like...

When 2 players are online.. Sometimes it shows the floating rates, then other times it'll show it has ended!

When 1 player is online, it gives either or message also.

t

And when I tried to switch them around, it would give the either or same message regardless.

[Euphy]

You have to separate the event labels, for the reason I posted. o_o

When you calculate "getusers(1)" when a player logs out, that still includes the attached player, so you need to subtract one from that value.

I do not understand, Can you dumb it down a bit?
