Advanced Classes

[Sunku]

lets say your a warrior and you get to a certain level and you become a paladin how would i do that.

[erkro1]

Play around with SetPlayerClass, GetPlayerClass and Getplayerlevel. ;)

i was hopping if someone could tell me where those are.:p

[erkro1]

That are functions, you can use them.
```
If player(index).level = 10 and getplayerclass(index) = [Class] Then
SetPlayerClass(index) [class]
End If
```**This is pseudo-code**

If you would do it with more than one class I recommend using Select Case. ;)

[The New World]

```
Select Case GetPlayerClass(Index)

  Case 1, 3:
            If GetPlayerLevel(Index) = 10 Then
                  SetPlayerClass(Index, 3)
            Elseif GetPlayerLevel(Index) = 20
                    SetPlayerClass(Index, 5)
            End If

            End If

  Case 2, 4:
            If GetPlayerLevel(Index) = 10 Then
                  SetPlayerClass(Index, 4)
            Elseif GetPlayerLevel(Index) = 20
                    SetPlayerClass(Index, 6)
            End If

```
Formatted via iPod Touch.

thank you now how do i do this with out the other classes(example paladin) showing up?

*EDIT* it doesn't work

[The New World]

Of course it doesn't work. For one you probably don't have 6 classes or MAX_CLASSES set to 6, and aside from that, the lack of scrolling on the iPod Touch left me without the ability to see the extra End If I included.

Basically the code figures out the players class. If the Class is Class 1, which is the starting class, or Class 3 which is the advanced class for class one, then run the code within' that case, which is, if the characters level is 10, upgrade them to class 3, and if they're level is 20, upgrade them to class 5\. Same thing for the next case. If you don't understand this, try researching.

oh i see whatcha mean thank you rose what would i be without you….don't answer that
*edit*got this error after trying to compile

>! 

[erkro1]

Change the line to SetPlayerClass(index, [class num])

Replace class numer with a class.

[The New World]

If you don't add the entire list of required parameters then you're doing nothing at all. With or without an error. Build off the code I gave you. Also, google and right click + definition are also very helpful. I use them everyday. Especially for navigation. x.x

[Tohob]

im an idiot, but it looks 2 me like what it does is automatically change your class once you reach the specified level?  if so, that seems quite strange for an advanced class system, although it is a pretty simple way to do it  o,o

[Sunku]

ok what i am trying to say is:

>! I meant like class advancements but without having them in the classes you can select.
so once you reach a certain level you become the next advancement.

[Tohob]

were you thinking of a solid line, like basic class > advanced, or did you want each class able to advance into multiple advanced ones?  dont know how to word it well..

Use that textbox at the top-right of the site that says, "Search…". It's useful for everyone.
And, for your information, we're not here to write the code for you. We're here to teach you how to do it. In your case, do what Erwin said; Mess with the GetPlayerClass, SetPlayerClass and GetPlayerLevel functions.

ok also what i'm trying to do is make it where those locked classes are advancements from the chosen classes

[Beanie93]

Use Select Case.
Use Rose's code as a reference on how to:

@Rose:

> Select Case GetPlayerClass(Index)

>             If GetPlayerLevel(Index) = 10 Then
>                   SetPlayerClass(Index, 3)
>             Elseif GetPlayerLevel(Index) = 20
>                     SetPlayerClass(Index, 5)
>             End If
>
>             End If
>
>   Case 2, 4:
>             If GetPlayerLevel(Index) = 10 Then
>                   SetPlayerClass(Index, 4)
>             Elseif GetPlayerLevel(Index) = 20
>                     SetPlayerClass(Index, 6)
>             End If

i have several times i get nothing from it or what i make of it.

[Beanie93]

I said use it as a reference, not copy-paste it and/or edit it.
With this I mean, write the code yourself and use that code of Rose's as a reference on how to do it.

i know what you meant i studied the code carefully and i tried making cases to make the classes go to different classes and evreything nothing worked

[Beanie93]

Give me the code you have written, then. I'll take a look.

[Sunku]

@Beanie93:

> Give me the code you have written, then. I'll take a look.

well i did that the first time rose gave me the code and i dind't write it down let me look at it again and see if i remember cuz i have bad memory O.o

[Beanie93]

Alright.
Basicly, you need to check if the player has reached a certain level, so, let's say.
Warrior advances at Level 12\. You'll need to check that if your Warrior's level is 12, it advances it's class to Paladin. As I said, you need to mess with GetPlayerClass, SetPlayerClass and GetPlayerLevel.
