[TFS 1.2] Set exp rate in game

[guiismiti]

Hello,

I noticed that it was possible to change the exp rate using the function
doPlayerSetExperienceRate.
Is it still possible to do it in TFS 1.2? I don't use stages.


Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you want to do?

This will add %50 more exp if player is in party

    -- Party Bonus
    if self:getParty() then
        exp = exp * 0.5
    end

I want to increase the exp for the players during two days of the week.
I'll change the exp on login.lua and will implement a global event to reset the experience rate back to normal to all online players when the day is over.

The problem is, the function doPlayerSetExperienceRate is not on TFS 1.2, so, I don't know how to change the exp gain.

Why not just edit it on config.lua for a day and then /reload config?

Depending on what type of server you're running, there are various ways of encountering this "issue". If you simply want all players to have an increased amount of earned exp from the day you decide until you decide it should end, then the easiest way to do so is by doing with Raxon said in the above post. However, like I said you can encounter this issue with other solutions, such as making a talkaction script for every player on the server to freely enable it if it's available and then it gets automatically disabled after a set period of time. Although the easiest method of solving this issue is by doing what @Raxon said. That is if I understood your question correctly.

    -- Party Bonus
    if self:getParty() then
        exp = exp * 0.5
    end

Should it not be like this if it gives 50% more exp.

    -- Party Bonus
    if self:getParty() then
        exp = exp * 1.5
    end

local config =  {
  ["Monday"] = 1.0,
   ["Tuesday"] = 1.0,
   ["Wednesday"] = 1.0,
   ["Thursday"] = 1.0,
   ["Friday"] = 1.0,
   ["Saturday"] = 1.5,
   ["Sunday"] = 2.0
}

function Player:onGainExperience(source, exp, rawExp)
  return exp = exp * config[os.date("%A")]
end

local config =  {
  ["Monday"] = 1.0,
   ["Tuesday"] = 1.0,
   ["Wednesday"] = 1.0,
   ["Thursday"] = 1.0,
   ["Friday"] = 1.0,
   ["Saturday"] = 1.5,
   ["Sunday"] = 2.0
}

function Player:onGainExperience(source, exp, rawExp)
  return exp = exp * config[os.date("%A")]
end

also an easy table w/ functions inside could be made for each day

Thank you all for the discussion.
