Solved TFS 1.0 creaturescript to set a minimum level

[Michael Orsino]

Okay so TFS 1.0 is still 'missing' a bunch of 'nice' functions that 0.3/4 had (I think?)
What I need to do is get a script working to stop people from falling below a set level.
For example, a character that dies at level 8 would log in as level 7, but then be immediately given level 8 again (with 100% till next level)

This was easy to do on 0.3/4 using the following script:

function onLogin(cid)

local minimumLevel = 8

    if getPlayerLevel(cid) < minimumLevel then
    doPlayerAddExperience(cid, (getExperienceForLevel(minimumLevel) - getPlayerExperience(cid)))
end
return TRUE
end

I've had a look around, but I couldn't find a way to achieve this in 1.0 yet.
If anyone can think of another way to achieve what I want it would be greatly appreciated =]

Thanks,
Michael

function onLogin(cid)
    local player, minimumLevel = Player(cid), 8
    if player:getLevel() < minimumLevel then
        player:addExperience(getExperienceForLevel(minimumLevel) - player:getExperience())
    end
    return true
end

Don't forget to add the function getExperienceForLevel in your global or compat.lua.

@Ninja what is the global function I need to add?

Please help @Techrlz

function getExpForLevel(level)
level = level - 1
return ((50 * level * level * level) - (150 * level * level) + (400 * level)) / 3
end

function getExpForLevel(level)
level = level - 1
return ((50 * level * level * level) - (150 * level * level) + (400 * level)) / 3
end

Please post data/creaturescripts/scripts/noloss.lua

function onLogin(cid)
    local player, minimumLevel = Player(cid), 13
    if player:getLevel() < minimumLevel then
        player:addExperience(getExperienceForLevel(minimumLevel) - player:getExperience())
    end
    return true
end

Now I'm confused

"data/creaturescripts/scripts/noloss.lua:4: attempt to perform arithmetic on a boolean value" ...
... means somewhere on line 4, something that's supposed to be a number is boolean instead.

It has to be one of these two:

• getExperienceForLevel(minimumLevel)
• player:getExperience()

but the names suggest they will both return numbers.


Did you put this code:

function getExpForLevel(level)
   level = level - 1
   return ((50 * level * level * level) - (150 * level * level) + (400 * level)) / 3
end

into global.lua ?

yes Still doesnt work, should 'i put it in compat aswell?
