Gym?

[onex]

I would like to change the Gym to only allow training once per day, could someone tell me what I need to find and what needs changing

to do this? Or is it possable to change to one train per level a player gains?

Do something like this..

Make a table called daily_train

3 fields

daily_train_id

daily_train_userid

daily_train_time

 

Add this query to your gym page for after they train.

 

$daily_check = sprintf("SELECT daily_train_id FROM daily_train WHERE daily_train_userid = %u",abs(@intval($ir['userid'])));
$check = $db->query($daily_check);
if($db->num_rows($check) > 0)
{
$daily = sprintf("UPDATE daily_train SET daily_train_time = unix_timestamp() WHERE daily_train_userid = %u",abs(@intval($ir['userid'])));
$db->query($daily);
}
else
{
$daily = sprintf("INSERT INTO daily_train VALUES('', %u, unix_timestamp())",abs(@intval($ir['userid'])));
$db->query($daily);
}

 

Now to check at the top of the page (gym) add this

 

$allow_train_sprint = sprintf("SELECT daily_train_time FROM daily_train WHERE daily_train_userid = %u",abs(@intval($ir['userid'])));
$allow_train = $db->query($allow_train_sprint);
$allow_t = $db->fetch_row($allow_train);
if($allow_t['daily_train_time'] < time() - 86400)
{
printf('Sorry, you can only train once a day.');
printf('[url="index.php"]> Go Home[/url]');
$h->endpage();
exit();
}

 

This is made very quick, and untested..

The abs() and intval() on the number coming from the database is not required - and is pretty much a waste of space ;)

 

$check = $db->query(sprintf("SELECT daily_train_id FROM daily_train WHERE (daily_train_userid = %u)", $ir['userid']));
if($db->num_rows($check)) {
$db->query(sprintf("UPDATE daily_train SET daily_train_time = %u WHERE (daily_train_userid = %u)", time(), $ir['userid']));
} else {
   $db->query(sprintf("INSERT INTO daily_train VALUES ('', %u, %u)", $ir['userid'], time()));
}

 

$allow_train = $db->query(sprintf("SELECT daily_train_time FROM daily_train WHERE (daily_train_userid = %u)", $ir['userid']));
$allow_t = $db->fetch_row($allow_train);
if($allow_t['daily_train_time'] < time() - 86400) {
   echo 'Sorry, you can only train once a day.
[url="index.php"]> Go Home[/url]';
   $h->endpage();
   exit;
}

GREATWay to do is how Alabama says..

 

However there are a few ways off doing this.

 

Limiting user's one train per day will not do you any favours though. So think about it >,<

[onex]

Thanks for help on this and the codes to change.

 

Jordan = I am open to suggestions, I just didn't think a player should train and get extreamly high stats, and be not leveled much.

I not sure long term game would still work right with a level 10 with 5000 Str because they was able to train 40 times a day. That is what

I had in my mind at time of trying to figure a way around gaining too much training.

[Jordan Palmer]

I'm no expert on gaming, However I do know limiting the time people try is bad and won't help your userbase grow >,< :whistling:

I know I wouldn't play a game like that. Maybe 5 trains a day but not 1. ;(

[onex]

I can see the point, but wouldn't the player at some point have huge stats and it be too easy for player to fight, pvp, gvg. ?

I am re-looking at this, for best way to do it, without damage of game. 5 trains per day....mmmm.. maybe 1 per hour, or 4 per day might work, I just

don't know yet. The goal is to keep from gaining huge amount of stats without making effort to play.

I know of one game that allowed players to train all time, and a few of them only came to get stats and would logoff until they could train again.

resulting in a level 5 with stats that could not be matched by most unless they also trained and leveled too.

[Magictallguy]

As the game grows, so do the stats - it's inevitable.

Limiting the trains seems like a good idea in principle, but you could also/just limit the amount gained from training

[onex]

Magictallguy = I can live with that, what part of gym code handles the % or amount per training? Thanks.

[Magictallguy]

By default, it's the $gain variable.

Search for it in the gym.php and edit the formula

[reek13]

I would agree with MTC suggestion

[Redex]

Reek i think you mean MTG :P Typo xd

[Jordan Palmer]

I think we'd all agree with that rather then limiting amount of trains :wacko:
