How to create new skills

[Flockoloco]

Hello there,
I'm currently trying to learn lua and so why not using OTC + FTS. Is there a guide/tutorial to create features (skills and UI)? I'm will be implementing that on local host

Feature Thread '[TFS 1.3] Adding New Skills'

Aug 16, 2019

First of all, I make this thread because I was struggling to add a new skill that I could show using bars on the skill section of the client.
I know this pieces of code are not something really complex and I only post it in case someone is struggling like I did with this issue, will also create a thread on how to display it on OtClient. (Show additional skills on client (https://otland.net/threads/show-additional-skills-on-client.265785/))



This will create a skill that has all working functions for it (addSkillTries, getSkillLevel and so on) BUT you need to...

Thread 'Show additional skills on client'

This goes hand to hand with my other thread Feature - [TFS 1.3] Adding New Skills (https://otland.net/threads/tfs-1-3-adding-new-skills.265784/)

In order to display an additional skill you code into the sources, you must edit the following files:
(I will use the same example as my other thread, "Runecraft")

src/client/const.h

Spoiler

Search for: enum Skill {. Under the Fishing, line just add: Runecraft,

src/client/protocolgameparse.cpp

Spoiler

Search for: int lastSkill = Otc::Fishing + 1; and replace it with int lastSkill = Otc::Runecraft...

Worked perfect for me on TFS 1.5:

and how do you level up the skill, where is it modified like this in the image?

This is only for adding new skills to the client (@edit to the client and of course server too) but you must create on your own how the skills are gained (or what they give).

On the server I currently work I've divided Distance skill into:
->bows
->crossbows
->throwing weapons
and had to edit TFS's source so that I can choose in items.xml between those weapons and so that they add the correct skill (and they work overall).

I also got woodcutting, smithing etc.

Lua Thread 'Tree cutting script - randomly stops working'

Mar 1, 2024

Hello,

I've found here on the forum a script for tree cutting:

local config = {
    trees = {2701,2702,2703,2704,2705,2706,2707,2708,2709,2710,2712,2717,2718,2720,2722},
    t = {
        [{1, 100}] = {tree = 2701},
        [{101, 200}] = {tree = 2702},
        [{201, 300}] = {tree = 2703},
        [{301, 400}] = {tree = 2704},
        [{401, 500}] = {tree = 2705},
        [{501, 600}] = {tree = 2706},
        [{601, 700}] = {tree = 2707},
        [{701, 800}] = {tree = 2708},
        [{801, 900}] = {tree = 2709},
        [{901, 1000}] = {tree = 2710},
        [{1001, 1100}] = {tree =...

You can take for example this script and instead of

skill = SKILL_AXE

You could put

skill - SKILL_WOODCUT

(or whatever you call your woodcutting in your source)

So that players gain woodcutting skill instead of axe skill when cutting the trees! (makes sense i guess)

You could also develop the script further (like i did) and add all the tree types to the script and after that you could add skill requirement for cutting each tree (like i did).

Once you've added this feature and also correctly added it to your client, what you can now do is call upon the following to add Skill Tries:
A good example would be the fishing.lua script, here you will see how fishing skill is calculated in LUA with a calculation, either just copy that or modify it.

Simply just:
doPlayerAddSkillTry(cid, SKILL_WOODCUTTING, 1)

or with random number:
doPlayerAddSkillTry(cid, SKILL_COOKING, 1)
local formula = (getPlayerSkill(cid, SKILL_COOKING) / 200) + (0.85 * math.random())

or

player:addSkillTries(SKILL_FISHING, 1)
if math.random(1, 100) <= math.min(math.max(10 + (player:getEffectiveSkillLevel(SKILL_FISHING) - 10) * 0.597, 10), 50) then

----------------

- Make sure you have the correct MySQL strings added to your database! Or else the tries will not save.

Thank you very much for the information

Thank you very much for the information

Message or post anything, if you need any help, at first, try to add one skill, something that you can also easy implement server side, for example an action on your shovel!

Once you are confident with that, you can add as many skills as you can

At the moment, I have always used the calculation set at fising.lua but you can modify those values easily, I don't really recommend using the +1 skilltry all the time, always better to have it work on a formula, this way it scales better, and the player doesn't have the feeling they are grinding for nothing.
