Modify exp rates for specific class only

[Nagad]

Actually I'm using this script:

- script FloatingRates -1,{OnSat0000:OnMon0000:OnInit: if ( gettime(4) == 6 || gettime(4) == 0 ) { setbattleflag "base_exp_rate", 4000; setbattleflag "job_exp_rate", 4000; } else if ( gettime(4) == 1 && gettime(3) == 0 && gettime(2) == 0 ) { setbattleflag "base_exp_rate", 2000; setbattleflag "job_exp_rate", 2000; } end;}

I want to modify it in such a way that specific classes (like assassin, ninja, etc..) have:

exp (base/job) 8000 instead of 4000 if ( gettime(4) == 6 || gettime(4) == 0 )

exp (base/job) 4000 instead of 2000 if ( gettime(4) == 1 && gettime(3) == 0 && gettime(2) == 0 )

Any suggestion?

Hmm, I don't think you could do that with world-wide flags, but maybe you could go with login event, and give those jobs SC that increases base/job exp (SC_CASH_PLUSEXP iirc)? Albeit that'd be a bad idea if you have manuals on free acccess.

I hope someone knows the best way to do what I'm trying to do

- script FloatingClassRates -1,{ // labels of times to enable floating rates. OnFri0000: .floatingClassRates = 1; end; // labels of times to end the floating rates. OnMon0000: .floatingClassRates = 0; end; OnRefresh: OnPCLoginEvent: // ignore it if the player allready has a exp bonus or the floating exp event is disabled. if( getstatus( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, 0 ) || !.floatingClassRates ) end; // if player has the right class. if( .classes[ Class ] ) { // add a 1 minute 100% exp bonus sc_start( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, 60000, 200 ); // set a timer 1 minute timer to refresh the bonus addtimer( 60000, strnpcinfo(3) + "::OnRefresh" ); } end; OnInit: // switch if the script is enabled at the server start .floatingClassRates = 0; // list of class ids setarray( .@classIds, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ); for( .@i = 0; .@i < getarraysize( .classIds ); .@i++ ) .classes[ .classIds[ .@i ] ] = 1; end;}
This snippet will apply a exp bonus of 100% to a class given in the .@classids array on login that lasts 1 minute and refreshes every minute as long as the player doesn't allready have a running exp boost, a fitting class and the floating rates are enabled.

I didn't test it so it might have a typo here and there. I cant say if it is a good idea to use the expoboost state from the cash shop items when you have also cash items. Neither do i know how hard the hit on performance will be when so many timers run every minute to check the class of a player etc. but i didn't find a better way to do it.

At the end you should experiment with it and see if the results work for you.

Thank You @@Winterfox for your help! Really appreciated

I have to say that I want it to be permanent and I do not (and will not) have cash shop items to boost exp on my server, so I think the code would be easier like this:

- script FloatingClassRates -1,{ OnPCLoginEvent: if( Class == 10 || Class == 12 || Class == 16 || Class == 4046 || Class == 4047 || Class == 4048 || Class == 4049 || Class == 23 || Class == 24 || Class == 25 ) { sc_start( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, -1, 200); end; } }

Is it correct??

I am not sure if you can make the SC_CASH_PLUSEXP effect infinite by setting the tick to -1. I don't get why you set the exp bonus to zero though. But your class part is correct. 

If you want it truly permanent and setting the tick to -1 and that 0 exp bonus work as intended everything should be allright.

Be aware though: If someone changes his class to a class that isn't on the list he will have the bonus anyway.

I would recommend to add check if a player has the status effect allready. This prevents the effect from beeing refreshed if it doesn't need to.

- script FloatingClassRates -1,{ OnPCLoginEvent: if( !getstatus( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, 0 ) && ( Class == 10 || Class == 12 || Class == 16 || Class == 4046 || Class == 4047 || Class == 4048 || Class == 4049 || Class == 23 || Class == 24 || Class == 25 ) ) sc_start( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, -1, 0);}

If it doesn't work with tick set to -1 or you don't want a player to have the bonus when he changes his class to another that doesn't belong to the chosen ones i would go for:

-	script	FloatingClassRates	-1,{	OnRefresh:	OnPCLoginEvent:		// if player has the right class.		if( Class == 10 || Class == 12 || Class == 16 || Class == 4046 || Class == 4047 || Class == 4048 || Class == 4049 || Class == 23 || Class == 24 || Class == 25 ) {			// add a 1 minute 100% exp bonus			sc_start( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, 60000, 200 );						// set a timer 1 minute timer to refresh the bonus			addtimer( 60000, strnpcinfo(3) + "::OnRefresh" );		}}

I will do few tests later and I will let you know!

Thank You again for your help, details and suggestions! <3

ps: I changed the 200 to 100 because I want it increased x 2 and not x 3

I did this:

- script FloatingClassRates -1,{ OnRefresh: if( Class != 10 || Class != 12 || Class != 16 || Class != 4046 || Class != 4047 || Class != 4048 || Class != 4049 || Class != 23 || Class != 24 || Class != 25 ) { sc_end( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP); } OnPCLoginEvent: if( Class == 10 || Class == 12 || Class == 16 || Class == 4046 || Class == 4047 || Class == 4048 || Class == 4049 || Class == 23 || Class == 24 || Class == 25 ) { sc_start( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, -1, 100 ); // set a timer 1 minute timer to refresh the bonus addtimer( 60000, strnpcinfo(3) + "::OnRefresh" ); }}

and seems that it is working perfectly! In this way I do not have the icon in cooldown all the time neither the annoying message "your exp is increased by" spammed in chat every minute 

Actually I'm not sure if I need this anymore:

if( !getstatus( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, 0 ) && ( Class == 10 || Class == 12 || Class == 16 || Class == 4046 || Class == 4047 || Class == 4048 || Class == 4049 || Class == 23 || Class == 24 || Class == 25 ) ) sc_start( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, -1, 100);

In case I still need it to save resources at this stage, where should I put it now??

 

[Winterfox]

- script FloatingClassRates -1,{ OnRefresh: OnPCLoginEvent: if( Class == 10 || Class == 12 || Class == 16 || Class == 4046 || Class == 4047 || Class == 4048 || Class == 4049 || Class == 23 || Class == 24 || Class == 25 ) { sc_start( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, -1, 100 ); } else if( getstatus( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, 0 ) ) { sc_end( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP ); } addtimer( 60000, strnpcinfo(3) + "::OnRefresh" );}
This way it will apply the boost if your class is right. If its wrong it will check if you have a active boost and disable it. In both cases will it add the timer. The purpose of this is that if a person changes his class to a fitting class or a non fitting class, it will be able to enable or disable the boost  in both directions.

Thank You, that's cool I will try it immediately!

Edit:

Sometimes I only receive double job exp but not double base exp...

This was happening since the first version of the script (I though I was doing something wrong maybe) but now I realized that there is something wrong for real.

This is what I tried:

1) restarted the server

2) logged as novice

3) changed job to 12 (assassin)

4) after 60 secs, I received the double exp bonus

5) killing a poring with my rates (40x), I received 160 base exp and 80 job exp, that is correct

6) logged out and logged in with class 10 (blacksmith)

7) I can see that I have the bonus exp, but after killing a poring I received only 80 base exp ad 80 job exp

8) logged again with the other char (class 10, the assassin) and still working fine

I always waited more than 60secs to do every action to wait for the refresh

Any idea what it could be?

 

[Winterfox]

Do you have renewal enabled? Since that changes how exp are given based on the level of you and the mob you kill.

 

[Nagad]

no no I'm using pre-re, however is just happened now that I received 40 base exp and 40 job exp lol

I tried with level 1 char, level 98 and level 99 (job level always 1 for all of them)

EDIT:

Seems that it is bugged with a specific characted only, with all the others is working fine!! 

Is really weird because it has no equip/buffs and it is a novice but with another novice is everything ok o.o

Just a quick correction, row 6 the space between "else" and "if" is missing, all the rest is perfect and tested!

@@Nagad I made a update since i thought the checks could be done a little better. I noticed that i forgot to check if the boost is allready given. That means the script you currently use will allways apply the boost if the class is right even though its infinite anyway. The new version pre checks if it needs to change something and just exits if it doesn't. If it does it will either enable or disable the boost according to the class.

-	script	FloatingClassRates	-1,{	OnRefresh:	OnPCLoginEvent:		addtimer( 10000, strnpcinfo(3) + "::OnRefresh" );		.@boostActive = getstatus( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP,  0 );		.@classBonusApplies = ( Class == 10 || Class == 12 || Class == 16 || Class == 4046 || Class == 4047 || Class == 4048 || Class == 4049 || Class == 23 || Class == 24 || Class == 25 );		if( .@classBonusApplies && .@boostActive  ) end;				if( .@classBonusApplies )			sc_start( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP, -1, 100 );		else if( .@boostActive )			sc_end( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP );}

elseif is error must be else if and i removed the bracket between sc_start and sc_cash_plusexp

use this and post what will be the result

-	script	FloatingClassRates	-1,{	OnRefresh:	OnPCLoginEvent:		if( Class == 10 || Class == 12 || Class == 16 || Class == 4046 || Class == 4047 || Class == 4048 || Class == 4049 || Class == 23 || Class == 24 || Class == 25 ) {			sc_start SC_CASH_PLUSEXP,-1,100;		} else if( getstatus( SC_CASH_PLUSEXP,  0 ) ) {			sc_end SC_CASH_PLUSEXP;		} 		addtimer( 60000, strnpcinfo(3) + "::OnRefresh" );}

@Winterfox I will test it immediately!

It seems definitely better now (almost perfect
