Free learning code
Posted: Thu May 07, 2009 1:23 am
Since I have basically scrapped my mini game idea I thought i would share some knowledge on how I was doing it. Maybe someone can learn from it, here is a post I posted in the FS admin section, this code is no longer being used so i share with my indie-resource buds 
...
K grab a comfortable chair, a drink, and a sandwich, and snuggle up to the PC for a moment. I want to take you through a little on how I crafting will work
First
We get the variables passed through the browser that the player selected for their hammer and surface. Example, hammer they might have choosen speed, so $hammer will equal "speed".
we then do some checks to see who owns the forge and if the player can afford to craft but I put it here so you could see anyways.
Okay back on track
We next query for the players skill in weapon crafting and the recipes difficulty...
Next we modify the players skill roll based on the difficulty of the recipe
Next I assign the database name to the modifier name so that when we update backpack it matches database and then i create base stats per weapon..
Okay new here is where the players skill gets checked per every forge level
each level affects a stat
Here is how the levels work
1. Melting = durability
2. Forming = Rating
3. Hammer = Speed
4. Temper = Damage
5. Quenching = Craft Points
checks forsucceed or fail
New each level and how it affects the stat
If melting succeeds it minuses craft roll from the players roll and thats the base durability, this way the better the player skill and the better the roll the better starting durability. Also if the player choose durability as a hammer or surface then it adds those
If the roll fails then the weapon still is made but has low durability. No more wasting of materials because of fails, only if they fail in 4 or more of the attempts does the whole thing fail.
Forming and the rest are much the same except it work off the base stat.
so as you can see this gives the armor and weapons much more of a dynamic craft. Players could create a wonderful item but fail in one place. They would have to craft a material into the weapon or armor to bring that stat up.
