Skill System [EO]

[Matt]

I'm working on a skill system. I'm not the best at coding, so i'm a bit confused as to how to do certain things. My biggest issue is how to set the levels in the skill system. Since i've never seen it done before, nor have i ever seen anything like it be done in EO, i'm stuck. Can anyone give me advice on where to start?

EDIT: Because the skills are a part of the player, should i place something like

```
    Woodcutting As Byte
    Woodcuttingxp As Long
```In PlayerRec?

ttheres a spells system already

Not spells, skills. Skills such as Woodcutting, mining, and fishing. Just because the tab is called "skills" doesnt mean they are. They are, as you say, "Spells".

Use The event system it will be very helpful to you

How would that help me?

First, make a SkillRec, which will contain all the info for an individual skill, (such as the player's level in that skill). Let me make an example:
```
Public Type SkillRec
    Name As String * 20
    Level As Long
    Exp As Long
End Type

```
Afterwards, create an enum:

```
Public Enum Skills
    Mining = 1
    Fishing
    ' always at bottom:
    SKILL_COUNT
End Enum
' comment: Skills.Mining = 1, Skills.Fishing = 2

```
This will allow you to reference skills by name, rather than by number. In addition, it will add a SKILL_COUNT:
Then, in PlayerRec, add:

```
Skill(1 To SKILL_COUNT - 1) As SkillRec
```
I think you can guess where this is going:
```
Player(index).Skill(Skills.Mining).Level = Player(index).Skill(Skills.Mining).Level + 1

```

Those are unrelated to the current problem.

Just curious, shouldn't```
Skill(1 To SKILL_COUNT - 1) As SkillRec
```be something like```
Skill(1 To Skills.SKILL_COUNT - 1) As Long
```?

If you want to. It's just a style preference, you can do it with or without the "Skills.", I believe.
