[TFS 1.x] Lost XP Retrieval - Skull of Fallen - Upon death, the player leaves behind a skull in their corpse, which can be used to get exp back.

Hi everyone,
I decided to share simple concept which is implemented on my OTS.
Simple scenario: Upon death, the player leaves behind a skull in their corpse, which can be recovered and used to regain a percentage of lost experience.

This system acts as an additional 'last chance' to soften the pain of death in Tibia. The amount of experience restored depends on blessings, but it gives players hope to reclaim at...

In this tutorial two stuff missing
1. You forgot to define PlayerStorageKeys.skullOfFallenCooldown in lib
2. You also forgot to include formatNumberWithSpaces function because it will return a nil value
3. There should also be some sort of timer/protection so you wont go back in 12 hours and pick the skull and use it after a while

Thanks for your time and valuable remarks.

• AD 1 - I mentioned it, but you're right I could paste that line. Added declaration

I keep storage values in PlayerStorageKeys; remember to assign your keys there.

• AD 2 - Yep, missing function, added it, thanks
• AD 3 - There is timer for overall skull usage.

local now = os.time()
local nextUse = tonumber(player:getStorageValue(PlayerStorageKeys.skullOfFallenCooldown)) or -1
if nextUse ~= -1 and nextUse > now then
player:sendCancelMessage("You can use another skull in " .. fmtTimeLeft(nextUse - now) .. ".")
player:getPosition():sendMagicEffect(CONST_ME_POFF)
return true
end
[...]
player:setStorageValue(PlayerStorageKeys.skullOfFallenCooldown, now + SKULL_OF_FALLEN_COOLDOWN)

Cool idea for a rpg server!

Very cool! Extended a little upon the idea, instead of a Skull, players have the option (unlockable) to leave behind a variety of Grave Stones.

Spoiler

Other players can try to dig up the corpse and loot all the items!
Each Grave comes with different Cooldowns/Protections to protect their corpse against Graverobbers!
While the owner of the Grave can get part of his Experience back and access to his items, with some confidence, that they are in time to get their loot back.

This system you posted was a great base to work from, thank you! <3
