OnEnter scripting help needed.

Casper

I am trying to make it to where characters get gold ONE time when entering the server. How do i do such? This is my script on enter in module properties. Thank you!

I'm not quite sure what you're asking for.

If you had a plot non drop item on the pc that functioned as a data tracker them you could set a character creation flag. If you used something else for tracking then you could use that instead.

object oDB = GetItemPossessedBy(oPC, "pc_db"); int nFlag = GetLocalInt(oDB, "do_once"); if (nFlag == FALSE) { GiveGoldToCreature(oPC, 1); SetLocalInt(oDB, "do_once", TRUE); }

Basically when someone enters your server, their character will recieve upon entering a certain amount of gold?

FreshLemonBun

Well if you use the above example with an item or if you replace the reliance on the item with your database functions that should probably help. The example I gave gives 1 gold to the player, you can change the value to anything you like. They get it one time. If you need it to be once per week then you'll need to track the date of their last payout instead.

You know how people are given books, emote wands etc in their inventory when they enter your server? Basically the same thing, just with gold. One per character.

Not one gold lol, but a certain amount when entering only one time.

You will have to add everything else you want to build around this but I think the simplest way would be below:

void main()
{
object oPC = GetEnteringObject();
if(GetLocalInt(oPC, "ReceiveGold") == 0)
{
SetLocalInt(oPC, "ReceiveGold", 1);
GiveGoldToCreature(oPC, 50);
}
}

This should give 50 gold once to someone who enters. It is a basic start anyway. Hope it helps.

If this is a persistent world type server and you are only allowing server characters (not local vault), you will run into problems with this method because the variable don't save on the character over server resets. The character will get gold every time they log into a reset server. This is why @FreshLemonBun suggested using a database item on the character where the variable will save. Basically as a rule, variables save on player items but not the players themselves...with some nuance.

I do this by giving 1 XP for new characters that went through the first-time initialisation, as new characters enters server with 0 xp (make sure xp can't go back to 0 from death)
