Lua [TFS 1.3] Change Vocation

[SorketROrk]

Hi,

I've been looking for a way to make the player change vocation on spellcast but cannot find a solution that works, hopefully someone here can help out!

Using the spell utevo res ina "panda" will also change vocation from id 1 to id 2. After the spell duration ends player should return to vocation id 1.

All help is appriciated.


Yours,
SRO

The main issue I see with this, is that if the server goes offline while the spell is activated, the player will get stuck as vocation 2.

We can add a work-around for that.. but I need to know the following 2 things:

Is it only the 1 class that can use the spell?
Or multiple?
-- Trying to determine if a storage value is needed.

Can Class 1 be promoted? Or is it a single class with no promotion available?

There could also be two spells, in that case if the player is stuck on id 2 and has to go back it can cast another spell that reverts the effect.

The idea is for only 1 class to be able to use this spell, and cannot get a promotion.

Regular spell. self target.

local config = {
    changeFrom = {1, CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN}, -- {vocationId, effect}
    changeTo = {2, CONST_ME_MAGIC_BLUE},    -- {vocationId, effect}
    spellDuration = 10, -- seconds
    lookType = 123 -- panda
}

local function changeVocation(creatureId, newVocationId, effect)
    local player = Player(creatureId)
    if not player then
        return
    end
    player:setVocation(newVocationId)
    player:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(effect)
end

local condition = Condition(CONDITION_OUTFIT)
condition:setTicks(config.spellDuration * 1000 - 200)
condition:setOutfit({lookType = config.lookType})

function onCastSpell(creature, variant)
    if creature:getGroup():getAccess() then
        creature:sendCancelMessage("This spell may break a god, so disallowing use.")
        return false
    end
    creature:addCondition(condition)
    changeVocation(creature:getId(), config.changeTo[1], config.changeTo[2])
    addEvent(changeVocation, 1000 * config.spellDuration, creature:getId(), config.changeFrom[1], config.changeFrom[2])
    return true
end

put in data/scripts

local loginEvent = CreatureEvent("onLogin_fixChangeVocationIfIssue")
loginEvent:type("login")

function loginEvent.onLogin(player)
    if player:getVocation(2) then -- if you edit vocations from/to in the spell, you'll need to change these one's manually
        player:setVocation(1)
        player:removeCondition(CONDITION_OUTFIT)
    end
    return true
end

loginEvent:register()

Just a regular .lua file.

Name it whatever you want.

Hi again, ive been having troubles with what i think is a collision between the transformation script and login/promotion scripts or even creation of characters with another id than "2" in this case.

Do you think there is another way to implement this transformation script?

I remember you mentioned if there would only be one class to use the spell and if there would be any promotions, and I can say that ive been going back and forward with ideas around this and I think my decision to make the spell available for 2 classes and also promotion being involved might have caused this problem.

New created players all get vocation 1 even if they chose differently, also when manually changing the vocation on the database, I still log in with vocation 1.


Do you think we can get transformation working somehow? With Promotions and different vocs involved that can use this spell?

Any ideas on a solution?
