Help on Script for Monk like armor ability

[rondivu]

Hello all,

 

I wanted to create a class (I call Quickdraw), that gains an armor rating (specifically a permanent Shield ability added to his current abilities) every time his Speed and Agility are high enough using a script. :blink: Here's what I have so far:

___________________________________________________________________________

 

scn SSArmorScript

 

short AGILE

short FAST

short PWN

short armorvalue

 

Begin GameMode

 

set AGILE to player.getav agility / 2

set FAST to player.getav speed / 2

set PWN to AGILE + FAST

set armorvalue to PWN / 2

 

if GetIsClass Quickdraw == 0

Return

elseif (armorvalue > 0 && armorvalue <= 15)

player.addspell ShieldAbilityInitial

elseif (armorvalue > 15 && armorvalue <= 25)

player.addspell ShieldAbility01

elseif (armorvalue > 25 && armorvalue <= 35)

player.addspell ShieldAbility02

elseif (armorvalue > 35 && armorvalue <= 45)

player.addspell ShieldAbility03

elseif (armorvalue > 45 && armorvalue <= 50)

player.addspell ShieldAbility04

elseif (armorvalue > 50 && armorvalue <= 65)

player.addspell ShieldAbility05

elseif (armorvalue > 65 && armorvalue <= 75)

player.addspell ShieldAbility06

elseif (armorvalue > 75 && armorvalue <= 85)

player.addspell ShieldAbility07

elseif (armorvalue > 85 && armorvalue <= 95)

player.addspell ShieldAbility08

elseif (armorvalue > 95)

player.addspell ShieldAbilityPlus

endif

 

end

 

_____________________________________________________________________

* :unsure: Note that I will have the ShieldAbilityInitial ability a magnitude 8 shield/ + 2 points Magic and Weapon Resistance, and damage to both light and heavy armor (50 each) so that the character won't find it very useful to wear armor.

 

**The ShieldAbilityXX spells are spells with 8 shield, and different perks per number (01-08) for a total of 8 perks

 

***The ShieldAbilityPlus is just a higher reward for people reaching a really high number of both Speed and Armor

 

Ok, so I realize that it doesn't delete the previous spells, but I thought that stacking it would make it better, but if not, can anyone make a better suggestion on how to make this script work better? I am new to scripting so forgive me if I've made this script horribly bugged. I also know that there is a Monk Armor mod out there I originally attempted to modify, but I wanted to make mine different in its functionality.

 

Suggestions, Criticisms, Inflammations welcome. Don't go easy on me.

 

Seriously.

Here's the refined version of my level scaling natural armor, dependent Agility, Speed, and Luck...

scn SSArmorScript

 

short AGILE

short FAST

short LUCKY

short PWND

short armorvalue

 

 

Begin GameMode

 

set AGILE to player.getav agility / 3

set FAST to player.getav speed / 3

set LUCKY to player.getav luck / 3

set PWND to AGILE + FAST + LUCKY

set armorvalue to PWND / 2

 

if (player.GetIsClass Quickdraw) == 0 && (player.IsInCombat) == 0

Return

endif

 

if (armorvalue >= 0 && armorvalue <= 15)

player.addspell ShieldAbilityInitial

elseif (armorvalue > 15)

player.removespell ShieldAbilityInitial

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 15 && armorvalue <= 25)

player.addspell ShieldAbility01

elseif (armorvalue > 25 && armorvalue < 15)

player.removespell ShieldAbility01

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 25 && armorvalue <= 35)

player.addspell ShieldAbility02

elseif (armorvalue > 35 && armorvalue < 25)

player.removespell ShieldAbility02

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 35 && armorvalue <= 45)

player.addspell ShieldAbility03

elseif (armorvalue > 45 && armorvalue < 35)

player.removespell ShieldAbility03

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 45 && armorvalue <= 50)

player.addspell ShieldAbility04

elseif (armorvalue > 50 && armorvalue < 45)

player.removespell ShieldAbility04

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 50 && armorvalue <= 65)

player.addspell ShieldAbility05

elseif (armorvalue > 65 && armorvalue < 50)

player.removespell ShieldAbility05

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 65 && armorvalue <= 75)

player.addspell ShieldAbility06

elseif (armorvalue > 75 && armorvalue < 65)

player.removespell ShieldAbility06

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 75 && armorvalue <= 85)

player.addspell ShieldAbility07

elseif (armorvalue > 85 && armorvalue < 75)

player.removespell ShieldAbility07

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 85 && armorvalue <= 95)

player.addspell ShieldAbility08

elseif (armorvalue > 95 && armorvalue < 85)

player.removespell ShieldAbility08

endif

 

if (armorvalue > 95)

player.addspell ShieldAbilityPlus

else

player.removespell ShieldAbilityPlus

endif

 

end

Two Questions that have been bugging me...

 

1) Does the "Return" on

 

if (GetIsClass Quickdraw) == 0 && (player.IsInCombat) == 0

Return

endif

...completely ignore the rest of the script running? I kind of want it to detect if you have that class, and also if you're in combat so I was wondering if I did this correctly.

 

2) Does anyone know if, hypothetically, I placed a "Return" right after every player.addspell ShieldAbilityXX, would it let the script run shorter and therefore be more efficient? Or would it just be better as is? Please help any Scripting modders out there who know how to do scripting please help.
