Events System (Automated hosting included)

I don't think an awful lot of explanation is required, if you got questions, post them. Everything commented with // ** are comments specifically made for this thread, all other comments were there from when I scripted it.

Enjoy! If you like it, don't hesitate to +rep me :)

Very nice! You might want to add an onInitialized() function to start the timer for when the server restarts (onCreated won't be called).

Done!

I would like if it were customizable :] (More variables that you could edit at the top)

Also, I see there's an array for event prizes, yet no note where to add the "additem" code to the winning players? :o

I really like systems like this, things that automates something that a player would do. ^^

I don't really think it needs to be any more customizeable then it already is. :oo:

This system starts and ends events. Everything in between you'll have to script yourself.

Wow, really nice dude.

Examples on how to provide events with a startgate/finish line. Some parts are obviously only Maloria related, but they should show the general idea behind it.

Startgate

PHP Code:


		
			
function onCreated()
{
  // DO NOT REMOVE!
  level.startGate = this;
  // ---------------
  
  if (this.size == NULL) this.size = { 1, 1 };
  show();
  setImgPart("mal_tb_startgate.png", 0, 0, this.size[0]*16, this.size[1]*16);
  setShape(1, this.size[0]*16, this.size[1]*16);
  blockAgain();
}

function onPlayerChats()
{
  if (player.guild != "Events Team") return;
  
  if (player.chat == "/et_start") onStartEvent();
}

function onStartEvent()
{
  if (serverr.hostedEvent[1] != "-1") return;
  if (this.isRunning) return;
  
  // Abort if there's not at least 3 participants
  this.eventParticipants = new[0];
  for (temp.pl: players) {
    if (temp.pl.guild in serveroptions.staffguilds.tokenize(",")) continue;
    
    this.eventParticipants.add(temp.pl);
  }
  
  if (this.eventParticipants.size() < 3) {
    for (temp.pl: this.eventParticipants) {
      temp.pl.client.messages.add("Event aborted due to lack of players!");
    }
    echo("[event_startgate] Error: Event aborted due to lack of players (" @ this.eventParticipants.size() @ ")!");
    
    findNPC("Control-Events").onEndEvent();
    return;
  }
  
  this.isRunning = true;
  showAni(1, x + width/2, y, z, "mal_startrace");
  
  scheduleevent(6.6, "onTriggerNPCs", "");
  scheduleevent(20, "onCloseEvent", "");
}

function onCloseEvent() show();

function onTriggerNPCs()
{
  hideImg(1);
  hide();

  for (temp.npc: npcs) {
    temp.npc.trigger("StartingEvent", "");
  }
}

Finish line

PHP Code:

  //getRecord();

  // Player already finished

I don't get how to start an event!

First time posting something here,
i want to ask you how to mass out an event,the level name is event_chance.nw.
So i should be able to but i say StartEvent Chance and it doesn't work.
Is this even an Event System that does this... ^^^
Thanks if you reply

glad u release this :) but i still like to be like old era was like making events rare to host due ec coins are rare but this would be good for classic style servers
