post your login.lua

 

[dunnish]

function onLogin(cid)
    registerCreatureEvent(cid, "GuildMotd")
    registerCreatureEvent(cid, "ReportBug")
    registerCreatureEvent(cid, "Idle")
    registerCreatureEvent(cid, "AdvanceEffect")
    doPlayerFeed(cid, 9999)
    return true
end

i tested to add

local loss = getConfigValue('deathLostPercent')

    if(loss ~= nil) then
        doPlayerSetLossPercent(cid, PLAYERLOSS_EXPERIENCE, loss * 10)
    end

but it didnt work :/

Your multiplying a whole number if you want a percentage you have to use decimals
For instance lets say the experience they loose is 10 xp, you multiply that by 10 and instead of loosing 10 xp they loose 100 xp
If you wanted them to loose just 10% of the experience then you would need to multiply by 0.10
10 * 0.10 = 1

tested with

local loss = getConfigValue('deathLostPercent')

    if(loss ~= nil) then
        doPlayerSetLossPercent(cid, PLAYERLOSS_EXPERIENCE, loss * 10 * 0.10 = 1)
    end

but this didnt work.

I think doPlayerSetLossPercent is 0-1000 so setting it to 500 should mean 50% of experience is lost for example.

local loss = getConfigValue('deathLostPercent')

    if(loss ~= nil) then
        doPlayerSetLossPercent(cid, PLAYERLOSS_EXPERIENCE, loss * 10 * 0.10 = 1)
    end

but this didnt work.

I didn't say to copy my example and place it in as code, I am trying to help you understand how to get a percentage.

 

[dunnish]

so what should i write insted?

 

[Mkalo]

so what should i write insted?

Try:
doPlayerSetLossPercent(cid, PLAYERLOSS_EXPERIENCE, loss)

Or:
doPlayerSetLossPercent(cid, PLAYERLOSS_EXPERIENCE, loss * 0.1)

 

[dunnish]

nothing of this is working.

thx for trying atleast

Try debuging it:

    if(loss ~= nil) then
        print("LossPercent set")
        doPlayerSetLossPercent(cid, PLAYERLOSS_EXPERIENCE, loss * 0.1)
    end

Also check the value of "deathLostPercent" in the config.lua.

 

[dunnish]

i got deathLostPercent = 1
in config.lua.

where should i find the text its trying to print?
could not find any in my tfs.

The text should appear in the console as a player login.

Ok your script from top to bottom.
player logs in
set loss variable to the config value for deathLostPercent (you have this set to 1) P.S. this should be moved outside of the function
check that loss is not nil (you have it set to 1 so it is not nil)
print message to confirm it is working (in your console we can see it works)
set the players loss percent to loss*0.1 P.S. this should not be loss*0.1 it should be loss*10 (as i stated before, the values for doPlayerSetLossPercent are 0-1000)
register shit
feed player shit
finish~

Once you fix the things I said, the question is how much experience do you want a player to lose?
If you want them to lose 0 levels on death, set the config value to 0
If you want them to lose all their levels on death, set the config value to 100
If you want them to lose half of their experience on death, set the config value to 50
If you want them to lose a set amount of LEVELS (not experience) remove this entire script and make a new onDeath script to remove x levels.
