Recording the amount of kills

« on: June 29, 2011, 06:42:02 AM »

This is for the pokemod ive been basing of war3source (actually superhero) but ill put it in war3source terms so hopefully people understand this.
I need it to record the amount of kills everyone has on each race and allow you to make things happen because of it.
Example (don't ask why you would want this, its just an example!)
If the player has over 100 kills on undead they would have weaker chain lightning on orc done by some sort of if..
if(undead kills <100)
{
do 50 damage
}
else
{
do 20 damage
}

Can someone help me make this? ><

Could you or anyone help me with this? I don't know SQL and it seems like a lot to learn if someone else could just do it or help me with it ><

I don't have access to my db right now to check, but doesn't each race have its own table? How about some native functions to add/remove columns and read/write rows? Something like War3_SQL_AddColumn(thisRaceID, "kills", INTEGER) (INTEGER coming from constants.inc) wich you can later access with War3_SQL_ReadColumn(thisRaceID, client, "kills"), War3_SQL_WriteColumn(thisRaceID, client, "kills", 1). Seems more comfortable than to have a seperate space for that kinda stuff... I already have a few vague ideas for things that could benefit from a persistant variable store like this.

Awesome, i'll probably talk to you tonight and maybe we can get it done or something

Like I said I plan to use it for a totally different reason (Planning to have it so after X kills pokemon evolve Tongue

) but could also see the things you could do with it in terms of linking races together and such Cheesy

Okay Ownz this is exactly what I want for superhero (preferably as a new engine please)
- I want it to store the number of kills each player has on each hero
... That's it.

You make it sound like nothing...
I'd recommend coding this as a standalone addon for your pokemod wich automatically creates new columns as you add more races, hooks the death event and gives credit where credit is due.

I never asked for it to be merged.. I also wanted it as an addon or a separate plugin which is why i asked if it could be a new engine.
