Stat Battle / RPG Mod

[Daisuke_aurora]

I need some help writing a Mod. Basically I want the following:

-A button like the quote button called "attack" that, when clicked, will run a file (attack.php most likely) that will input your stats and the chosen member's stats into a formula that determines whether your attack hit, missed, watever, and then after that it posts the results of the attack in the thread as an admin and updates the attacked person's HP stat to reflect any damage he may have taken.

I'm not exactly good at this, but I figure it would have to edit the files that show the quote button to add this button, and I'd need to make the file attack.php and put it in Sources.

I assume the Attack.php file would look like a much MUCH better version of this general idea:


-Find who you are.
-Find who you "attacked."
-Find your stats "A" and "S" and set them to variables $A and  $S (They are in the Themes table, and are called CP3 and CP5.)
-Find your opponents stats "HP" "D" and "R" and set them to variables $HP, $D and  $R (They are in the Themes table, and are called CP1, CP4 and CP6.)
-Set $N1 and $N2 (random numbers between 1 and 10)

The "battle" part

-$A1=$N1+$S.
-$D1=$R+$N2.
-$A2=$A1+$A.
-$D2=$D1+$D.


-If $A1>$D2, then update $HP stat: $HP - ($Ax2). And Print "(You) smashed (opponent) for $Ax2 damage!" As a post in the topic where you attacked him

-Else if $A2>$D2, then update $HP stat: $HP - $A. And Print "(You) hit (opponent) for $A damage!" As a post in the topic where you attacked him.

-Else if $A2<$D2, then update $HP stat: $HP - ($A-$D ). A-D can't be lower than 0. Then subtract another 1 from their HP. And Print "(You) attacked (Opponent), but they blocked, only taking ($A-$D)+1 damage!" As a post in the topic where he attacked him.

-If $A2<$D1, then Print "(You) attacked (Opponent), but they dodged it!" As a post in the topic where he attacked him.


Also, when a member has 0 HP, they get put into a group called Defeated.

And lastly, permissions for the Attack button that allow me to set which groups can use the attack button.
I know this looks daunting, but I really would love the help, as I am unable to figure out PHP enough to do it by myself.

It looks interesting. I whish I had some time to code this. If you want, I can move this to the Mod Requests board.

[matasanos]

yes...i am interested!!

Sure, thank you.

I'd love to get this done, simply because I've seen so many people who want to make RP boards that use stats like this. I already had help and made items that affect the stats, a system for using them (basically the coding above but done IRL by an Admin) and am working on some other things to make the system full automated. Maybe one day soon it'll be one big Mod called Stats or something.

yes...i am interested!!

Then come on over to the Dojo  and sign up.

[Daisuke_aurora]

Anybody else interested in helping me? I partially coded it, but as of now it has to have numeric input, and it only does the formula, not the posting, HP adjusting, or membergroup changing.

$A = 8;
$D = 5;
$S = 8;
$R = 7;
$N1 = mt_rand(1, 10);
$N2 = mt_rand(1, 10);
$A1 = $N1 + $S;
$A2 = $A1 + $A;
$D1 = $N2 + $R;
$D2 = $D1 + $D;


//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D > 0)
{
                        $DA = $A-$D;
}
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D < 0)
{
                        $DA = 0;
}
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D = 0)
{
                        $DA = 0;
}
//Did we power-hit?
If ($A1 > $D2)
{
                        echo 'You smashed your opponent for ' .($A + $A). ' damage!';
}
else
//Did we hit?
If ($A2 > $D2)
{
                        echo 'You hit your opponent for ' .($A). ' damage!';
}
else
//Did they dodge?
If ($A2 < $D1)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent dodged and took no damage!';
}
else
//Did they dodge?
If ($A2 = $D1)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent dodged and took no damage!';
}
else
//Did they block?
If ($A2 < $D2)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent blocked, taking only ' .($DA + 1). ' damage!';
}
else
//Did they block?
If ($A2 = $D2)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent blocked, taking only ' .($DA + 1). ' damage!';
}

It's currently set to run in a phpbox in my portal on my homepage, so we can use it to determine the results, but it needs work obviously...

[Daisuke_aurora]

Bump.

And I replaced

//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D > 0)
{
                        $DA = $A-$D;
}
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D < 0)
{
                        $DA = 0;
}
//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D = 0)
{
                        $DA = 0;
}

With

//Defense v.s. attack?
If ($A - $D > 0)
{
                        $DA = $A-$D;
}
Else
{
                        $DA = 0;
}

It should work the same, right?

[[SiNaN]]

Yes, that would do that.

[Daisuke_aurora]

Okay, then onto the next problem:

How do I pull information from the Database? I have this as the current Attack.php, but it won't work, I believe I messed up the part where it gets the stats from the DB:

<?php

if (!defined('SMF'))
   die('Hacking attempt...');

function Attack()
{
      global $db_prefix, $ID_MEMBER;

   checkSession('get');

$A = db_query("
      SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}themes
      WHERE variable = 'CP3' && ID_MEMBER = {$ID_MEMBER},");

$D = 5;
$S = db_query("
      SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}themes
      WHERE variable = 'CP7' && ID_MEMBER = {$ID_MEMBER},");
$R = 7;
$HP = 50;
$N1 = mt_rand(1, 10);
$N2 = mt_rand(1, 10);
$A1 = $N1 + $S;
$A2 = $A1 + $A;
$D1 = $N2 + $R;
$D2 = $D1 + $D;


//Is A-D positive?
If ($A - $D > 0)
{
                        $DA = $A-$D;
}
//If it's not...
Else
{
                        $DA = 0;
}
//Did we power-hit?
If ($A1 > $D2)
{
                        echo 'You smashed your opponent for ' .($A + $A). ' damage!';

}
else
//Did we hit?
If ($A2 > $D2)
{
                        echo 'You hit your opponent for ' .($A). ' damage!';
}
else
//Did they dodge?
If ($A2 <= $D1)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent dodged and took no damage!';
}
else
//Did they block?
If ($A2 <= $D2)
{
                        echo 'Your opponent blocked, taking only ' .($DA + 1). ' damage!';
}
}
?>

Also, I took the "check session" and "If not SMF, die" things from another script because I figured they'd need to be put in eventually.

[[SiNaN]]

Find:

Code Select Expand

$A = db_query("
      SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}themes
      WHERE variable = 'CP3' && ID_MEMBER = {$ID_MEMBER},");

$D = 5;
$S = db_query("
      SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}themes
      WHERE variable = 'CP7' && ID_MEMBER = {$ID_MEMBER},");

Replace:

Code Select Expand

$request = db_query("
SELECT value
FROM {$db_prefix}themes
WHERE variable = 'CP3'
AND ID_MEMBER = $ID_MEMBER
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
list ($A) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);

$D = 5;

$request = db_query("
SELECT value
FROM {$db_prefix}themes
WHERE variable = 'CP7'
AND ID_MEMBER = $ID_MEMBER
LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);
list ($S) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
mysql_free_result($request);

[Daisuke_aurora]

You're awesome Sinan. Works perfectly. I have more I need help with, but I can't really do it piece by piece; I've posted it here somewhere, but I need a button next to "quote" called "attack" that'll run this script when clicked, but take the "attacked" member's D, R.S and HP from the DB and put it into the equation. And I'm sure this part is alot harder than just asking how to do requests for the user's info.

[[SiNaN]]

You want a button on every post?

[Daisuke_aurora]

Yes, just like the quote button.

Also, i'm getting an error in this item I made:

Basically, it's supposed to get your Current HP and Max HP, make sure that Current + 30 isn't over your max (If it is, it sets your current to your Max) or add 30 to your current. It says there's an error on line 90, unexpected Else?

[[SiNaN]]

About the first issue:

Save your codes  as Attack.php.

../index.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

'announce' => array('Post.php', 'AnnounceTopic'),

Replace:

Code Select Expand

'attack' => array('Attack.php', 'Attack'),

../Themes/your_theme/Display.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Show online and offline buttons?

Replace:

Code Select Expand

echo '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=attack;attacked=' . $message['member']['id'] . ';sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">[Attack]</a>';

// Show online and offline buttons?

Find:

Code Select Expand

   checkSession('get');

Replace:

Code Select Expand

   checkSession('get');

$attacked_id = !empty($_REQUEST['attacked']) ? (int) $_REQUEST['attacked'] : 0;

Then get the info as you did for the others. Just use $attacked_id instead of $ID_MEMBER.

For second;

You should try the SMF Shop support topic.

[Daisuke_aurora]

Is there one here? I tried the SMF Shop forum at daniel15.com, but no one there is ever on.

[[SiNaN]]

It's here.

[Daisuke_aurora]

Okay, a few issues:

1. My forum now has huge letters and all the pictures are X's.

2. There is no attack button in any of the posts; going to the action attack action does nothing (I assume because there was no button, the opponents stats aren't there to use.)

3. I WAS supposed to put the checksession code in Attack.php right?

4. Was i supposed to completely erase the announce action?

[[SiNaN]]

1) Make sure you applied the edits correctly.

2) There should be in posts, in the profile area of a message, unless you add it in the wrong line.

3) Yes.

4) First edit should be "add after", I missed it. So announce stays there, but you add attack after that.

[Daisuke_aurora]

I think this i swhy I have big text:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 5
