Skills/Experience #303

Closed Southclaws closed 7 years ago

Southclaws commented 8 years ago

Skills will be a stat that affects the speed at which certain actions take to complete.

Actions affected by skill values:

Notes: Each recipe will have its own skill level so a player could become a master at just crafting timed TNT explosives.

Experience will be a floating point number with a default value of 0.01 which will be used in a function to calculate a value to subtract from the time parameter in StartHoldAction calls. Higher values will result in shorter time values and faster completion of actions. The maximum value (skill-cap) for this will be 2.0 which would cut action times in half.

Representing experience to players will not be in the form of a floating point value to keep things simple. The representation to players will be in the form of colours and skill names:

Gaining experience will follow this graph:

Where the X axis represents the player's current experience with a skill value (1.0 - 2.0) and the Y axis represents the experience gained from performing an action of the skill (0.01 - 1.0)

This means that new players gain experience slowly through "Novice" and "Adequate" but will pick up the pace after a while and will travel through "Intermediate" faster then experience gain will slow down as they near the "Experienced" and "Master" levels. This can be tweaked based on player feedback and engagement with the system. (The S-Curve model is derived from various mobile game reward-rate research)

Formulae:

With these values, it would take a total of 347 actions to reach the skill cap.

that's a pretty awful image, otherwise it's a very interesting concept

trojan-sas commented 8 years ago

its the one last thing that sas needs... but it should go wilder than just fast repairing etc. it should also be with a score system like when u get score ur exp increase and when u reach lvl one u get a skill you can consider add alot of skill for example: mechanic(can build faster and repair faster),healer(so u can use a command give u like 15%of ur health),stamina(endurance) so u get less hungry,hitman(so your aim skill become more better), so here is how it should work like ..when u kill someone or when you stay for like 15 min or something u get score and when u reach specific no. of score you get the first skill level and so on also a player states should be added so everyone know what skill other have i see that it gonna take time but in my opinion it deserve
one other idea is about adding a rare craftable item that make u set a spawn position and it use for one time idk if that possible but its a good idea especially when u get killed its worthless to walk to the other cities to reach ur destination

It is effectively a "score system" already. I will probably add medical actions to the list too. One thing I am staying away from though is combat, combat should stay fair and not be affected by magical imaginary numbers - just players with their guns and physical mouse skill, nothing else.

I may consider endurance or something similar to keep players active on the server (possibly running speed if I can alter it effectively). I don't really want to turn the game into too much of an arcade shooter so I won't be adding publicised "scores", when two players encounter one another there should be little information as to how the encounter may go down and players should be able to lie about their skills (and just about anything really).

You could perhaps make use of a health/armor cap. Another idea which might be worth looking into is the use of SetPlayerGravity but it requires a plug-in

Southclaws commented 8 years ago

I may think about health, armour is a no go since that's a physical item out of the player's control (armour strength is controlled by the state of the item, not the state of the player).

As for player health, I may do something related to this as "what don't kill you makes you stronger" so maybe wound healing could act as an "action" to trigger "experience" gain (whereas instead of representing experience, it's representing the body's physical strength).

Factors that affect player's "health" are:

I am leaning more towards a "health skill" affecting blood regeneration speed allowing players to recover from fights faster.

As for agility, I could use SetPlayerVelocity to increase jump height/distance a bit - I'd actually love to add some areas that can only be accessed via jumping with this so players must get their agility experience up before being able to access these areas. Either way, I want to avoid the SetPlayerGravity as that plugin isn't maintained and I've heard of quite a few compatibility issues!

hhm but the 1st thing i like in this gamemode is 1 shoot 1 kill don't you think?

Southclaws commented 8 years ago

I've never been a fan of one-shot-kill mechanics, it doesn't really garner gunplay skill or combat manoeuvres - it bases fights purely on a "who sees who first" basis which is why it's never been a true mechanic in the game.

Of course one-shot scenarios still exist but they are "one-shot-down" rather than "kill" and they only occur with the correct circumstances (a very high weapon calibre or the shot distance is low or the victim is already wounded).
