make pvp give exp

[Xeeg]

hey would i go about doing something like a pvp kill gives u 10% of their exp, and the dead person loses 10%...



if they went below their level in exp they should stay the same level with just less exp

dont think it's possible

well couldnt u just give characters the same sort of tag as a monster with a variable experience?

I don't think that would work :( I would assume that player death is handled by a different function in the program than monster death, and so it most likely doesn't check for the same flags.



Besides, getting exp in pvp would be extremely abusable. Actually, the original beta versions of majormud had this feature and the developers took it out because too many people abused it to get free exp.

isn't there something that could be done in text blocks?

[Tristian]

possibly.. but.. think how abuseable that could be..

[Reckless]

I doubt we're talking about a lot of exp.

10% is a lot, you may not think it's a lot when you reroll, but for pvp it's a lot.



Also, if it were possible, like they said it would be too overly abused, and you you can't give people any kind of tags that would give exp.



You could try some bullshit like what Atma suggested for sysing in pvp but that's too much work and would take too much time testing and whatnot to be worth all the problems you would get out of it.

Well, instead of taking 10% from loser and giving it to winner, you can just take 10% from loser.



Incentive on both sides, and I don't really see how people can abuse that.



The question is how do you take 10% from the loser?

you guys might as well quit talking about this... thought about it

for a little while... concluded its not possible without MAJOR tweaking..
