Is it possible to determine the class of a character?

[Aristeus]

Trying to determine the class of a character for a script, as far as i can tell there's no function for it and I can't seem to come up with another way to determine it.

Anyone have an idea?

as far as i understand, the only way to do it is by hp/mp calculations based on the lvl of the char. hope this helps.

Thanks, it'll only work to determine Knight, Paladins and then if it's a mage class but it's better than nothing.

to differentiate between mage classes, check the weapon slot for rod or wand

Good idea, thanks again.

You can also try casting vocation specific spells.

Just calculate max hp. Will at least be a lot easier then, but mage will still either be druid or sorcerer.

Every character starts with 150hp.
You gain 5hp on rookgaard.
So at lvl 8 you have 150 + (7 x 5) = 185

If your level is 107, and you have 680hp as maximum:

680 - 185 = 495
Now take away 8 levels too
107 - 8 = 99

495 / 99 = 5

druids and sorcs gain 5hp per lvl.
asnwer: you are a druid or sorc.
you can then check, if the answer is 5, compare weapon ids (rods VS wands).

I made a script for it.
This only works if your character left rookgaard or dawnport at level 8.



function GetVocation(level, health)
local vocation = nil
local level = level
local health = health
local basehp = 185
local baselvl = 8

local calchp = health - basehp
local calclvl = level - baselvl

local answer = calchp / calclvl

if (answer == 5) then
vocation = 'Druid or Sorcerer'
elseif (answer == 10) then
vocation = 'Paladin'
elseif (answer == 15) then
vocation = 'Knight'
else
vocation = 'Unknown'
end

return vocation
end

print(GetVocation(Self.Level(), Self.MaxHealth()))


If you want to save the value to a variable, just write:
local MyVocation = GetVocation(Self.Level(), Self.MaxHealth())

Chose to do it through calculating health.

Changed the function a bit so you don't have to put in any values when you use it.
The prints were mostly just so that i could see that it was working.


function VocationDetection()
local HealthLevel = (Self.MaxHealth() - 185) / (Self.Level() - 8)
if (HealthLevel == 15) then
Vocation = Knight
print('Vocation: Knight')
end
if (HealthLevel == 10) then
Vocation = Paladin
print('Vocation: Paladin')
end
if (HealthLevel == 5) then
Vocation = Mage
print('Vocation: Mage')
end
end
