[AutoEvent] Trivia

[Habilis 119]

Hello, as promised here is a Trivia auto event.

This script is originally way back from eA, it was adjusted on rA. (All credits in the header)

And now, I decided to Enhance it.

- An enhanced version of facts auto event. The Event is announced. The NPC asks 10 random 
- questions from a question bank. Players have to write the answer to the main chat.
- Players don't need to worry about CAPITAL letters.
- 1) Question is asked by the NPC.

- 2) If there is no answer after 15 seconds NPC will give a hint.

- 3) IF there is still no answer after a hint, the question is skipped.

- 4) If the right answer is given, the player is announced and the reward is given

 

Side notes:

1) Control

If you have some kind of AutoEbent Controller, I've included the event control methods

OnEventStart:

OnStop:

OnEventTimeOut:

 

If you don't have a controller and just want to test this event, just setup the timers, when this event will run ex:

OnMinute33:

 

2) Rewards

I have special Event points, that I'm giving to the winners.

If you like to give Items or Zeny, I Included the examples in the code

// Winner gets reward in Zeny //Zeny += 1000000; // Alotta bax ;)

// Winner gets reward in Zeny
//Zeny += 1000000; // Alotta bax ;)

 

3) Questions definition

To define more questions you need to follow this pattern

DefineQuestion("<question>", "<answer>", "<hint>");

 

4) Cheating

I'm aware that this event can be cheated/Automated by players.

Therefore only a modest reward is given

}

I believe you made it opposite ?
assuming that you are still using eathena, when script engine was still 128 elements
it should be

return getd(".question_" + (getarg(0) / 128) + "$[" + (getarg(0) % 128) + "]");

return getd(".question_" + (getarg(0) / 128) + "$[" + (getarg(0) % 128) + "]");

although there is no need to do like this anymore because our script engine no longer has such limitation

---

2nd thing is ...

L_loop: do set .@i, rand( .numQuestions ); // Randomly picks a fact. while( .Q_session & 1 << .@i && .Q_session && .count < .numQuestions ); set .Q_session, .Q_session | 1 << .@i;// max 32 questions

L_loop:
	do
		set .@i, rand( .numQuestions ); // Randomly picks a fact.
	while( .Q_session & 1 << .@i && .Q_session && .count < .numQuestions );
	set .Q_session, .Q_session | 1 << .@i;// max 32 questions

rather than using a loop, can use shuffle algorithm

Thanks Annie,

1 is not me, it is from way back ... eA days

2 will be redone, I will follow Dastgir`s advice and use an array instead of bit manipulation

(will make the script easier to understand for beginners)

 

 

I Already coded it, need to test it

[Habilis 119]

Edited the first post with the updated version of script.

[Begin 11]

Will try this later. You have a good taste when making an event scripts
