I was thinking of adding perklimit in Rainy Death and then unlocking perkslots by doing certain thing/things. Cant find topic for it, so I thought I would ask here. Where would I start off?
That seems that it will work. There are many comments with better examples. The main tut seems to give all players another perk slot, not just the player, but I could be wrong. You could do it simpler by editing where your perk is bought. But I don't know what perks you are using. If you are just using zombiemode_perks, it is really easy to intialize a att for each player then add a check when they buy or trigger the perk in the vending trigger think function. When they buy a perk slot, obviously another function for that, it would increase their att by one if less then the max.
Code Snippet
Plaintext
//under this in zombiemode perks: for( ;; ) { self waittill( "trigger", player );
//then you add: if(!IsDefined( player.perklimit )) player.perklimit = 4;
//then you have the option to make another function or track this att better. I would just check myself like so: if(player MaxPerks()){ player IPrintLnBold( "You already have the max perks." ); continue; }
//of course you would need the MaxPerks function: MaxPerks(){ if(self HasPerk( specialty )+self HasPerk( specialty )+self HasPerk( specialty )+self HasPerk( specialty )+self HasPerk( specialty )+self HasPerk( specialty )+self HasPerk( specialty )+self HasPerk( specialty ))>= self.perklimit return true; return false; }
//Im not actually sure if you can do what I did above, you may need to intialize a var and increase it for every perk they have... //change all instances of specialty to the perks in your map, and add and delete self HasPerk() as necessary
What this should result in is them buying the perk. Or if they have the max perks, a message appearing.
You can use some from that tut to set up a fancy fx and to purchase another perk. When they trigger it if they can afford it and it is less then the max you want them to have, player.perklimit++; Pretty much the same that the tut has.

Well, Im using 3 different perk scripts: for stock perks, Black Ops perks and Black Ops 2 perks. And I would probably just do it, so players start with 4 perk limit, then after doing something, all players get the perkslots opened. Would I still follow this?
Oh, I use one script for everything. Okay. This method is per player. What you want is simpler. You just check the level perk limit similar to that tut. But the only part you need is that it checks when buying the perk if the player has the limit of perks. If all your scripts check that, I would work with that check. If they check if player.perks >= level.perk_limit continue, then I would continue using that method. If they don't currently check anything with perk limits, you can still do that by adding ones similar to what I posted. Basically just stopping the whole purchase perk script from running, returning to the beginning of the loop, unless they are under the max perks.
I haven't done that tut, but I really don't see how it works. (I could be overlooking something) I didn't see one check for the players perk size. I also didn't see any checks for the perk scripts, but maybe they are there by default, lol, my scripts are obviously not stock anymore, so I don't know for sure. If the default scripts check this already, then all that tut is doing is editing how the limit is adjusted. And it should work. Edit: Of course you could do that simpler as well, since you don't want one slot at a time. You can just set it higher after the thing you want to happen, happens.
This is all you have to do: - You will need to check when the player purchases the perk, just like it checks if they can afford it, if the player has the limit of perks already, in each script. (It may do this already, if so, use that check's var) - I like to check things "live" if you will, rather than trying to keep track of it. hasperk is easy enough to check when needed rather than tracking their perk count, but to each their own. - If they have the limit you will simply continue; the loop and not even check if they can afford it. - If they don't have the limit then you will let the loop run and continue the checks and buy the perk
I've said the same thing sorta two ways to make sure I was clear.

if ( cheat != true ) { //player iprintln( "Already using Perk: " + perk ); self playsound("deny"); player thread play_no_money_perk_dialog();
continue; } }
// DUKIP - check if our total perks (based on perk array) is greater or equal to our limit. if( player.perk_hud.size >= player.num_max_perks ) { self playsound("deny"); //player thread play_no_money_perk_dialog(); continue; }
if ( player.score < cost ) { //player iprintln( "Not enough points to buy Perk: " + perk ); self playsound("deny"); player thread play_no_money_perk_dialog(); continue; }
Set num_max_perks to 4 on both onPlayerConnect() and onPlayerSpawned() then just mess with the value when needed.
Using the perk hud size to count perks, nice one, if that is how he does all his perks then that would work. But I guess most do, do all their perks that way.
Edit: Will this work though? Don't you need an isdefined check in there for the player.perk_hud? Ccause that isn't created until later in that function the first time?

And of course, when player goes down, i set perk_bought back to 0 to avoid perklimit fucking up after downs. But this doesnt work at all. I can buy all perks and everytime I hit the trigger, I get the iPrintLn. No idea why it isnt working

easiest away around this is to assume that if player.perk_hud is not defined the amount of perks the player has is 0 / not bought any so you could do this and you would get the same thing as what DUKIP said

You do know all these answers say the same thing right? It's just there are different arguments that have the same conditions and result.
Let him pick what is easiest to understand. Then go with it.
Yeah i know they all have the same out come but i thought that what you said to DUKIP was unanswered (and to me looks like the easiest solution) so i thought "why not answer it"
if(player.perk_bought >= player.perklimit){ player iPrintLn("Perk Limit Hit"): continue; }
Forgot to change : to ; in my earlier comment, so had to fix that after error But now when I go in-game, even without perks, it spams perk limit hit message on triggers and wont let me buy the perks

Oops, lol. Adding iprints may help you troubleshoot the issue.
These could be undfined at this time. If you get 0s then look at how you are defining those atts. or change up your method, such as a level perk limit var, and then you can use an isdefined check first before this check.

You'll have to fix the perk_bought att though or it will just continue buying again.
Yep, gives 0 and I can buy all perks. I defined perklimit and perk_bought at start of the game on start of EE script. Should I move these inside the perk function instead and have them update constantly inside while loop?
