w = toSteal.Weight + toSteal.TotalWeight
If(w > 10)
"This item is too heavy to steal from someone's backpack."
Else
Now it check for Stackable or Not Stackable!
Stackable Item Formula:
maxAmount = (int(Stealing / 10) / toSteal.Weight)
If(maxAmount < 1)
maxAmount = 1
ElseIf(maxAmount > toSteal.Amount)
maxAmount = toSteal.Amount
Amount = RandomMinMax(1, maxAmount)
If(Amount >= toSteal.Amount)
pileWeight = int(Math.Ceiling(toSteal.Weight * toSteal.Amount))
pileWeight *= 10
If(CheckTargetSkill(Stealing, toSteal, pileWeight - 22.5, pileWeight + 27.5))
CheckTargetSkill =
If(Stealing < pileWeight - 22.5)
//Too difficult
ElseIf(Stealing >= pileWeight + 27.5)
//No challenge
Chance = (Stealing - (pileWeight - 22.5)) / ((pileWeight + 27.5) - (pileWeight - 22.5))
Success Chance = (Chance >= Random(0,100))
stolen = toSteal
Else
pileWeight = int(Math.Ceiling(toSteal.Weight * Amount))
pileWeight *= 10
If(CheckTargetSkill(Stealing, toSteal, pileWeight - 22.5, pileWeight + 27.5))
CheckTargetSkill =
If(Stealing < pileWeight - 22.5)
//Too difficult
ElseIf(Stealing >= pileWeight + 27.5)
//No challenge
Chance = (Stealing - (pileWeight - 22.5)) / ((pileWeight + 27.5) - (pileWeight - 22.5))
Success Chance = (Chance >= Random(0,100))
stolen = Mobile.LiftItemDupe(toSteal, toSteal.Amount - Amount)
If(stolen == null)
stolen = toSteal
Not Stackable Item Formula:
iw = (int)Math.Ceiling(w)
iw *= 10
If(CheckTargetSkill(Stealing, toSteal, iw - 22.5, iw + 27.5))
CheckTargetSkill =
If(Stealing < iw - 22.5)
//Too difficult
ElseIf(Stealing >= iw + 27.5)
//No challenge
Chance = (Stealing - (iw - 22.5)) / ((iw + 27.5) - (iw - 22.5))
Success Chance = (Chance >= Random(0,100))
stolen = toSteal
*Ceiling = Round Up Decimal (Ex: 7.08 = 8 | 0.12 = 1)
After attempting Stealing an Item, there's a chance to be caught!
Formula:
Caught = (Stealing < Random(0,150))
If Caught is True and attempt to Steal on other Players, all Players withing 8 Tiles around will see the System Message:
You notice "StealerName" trying to steal from "PlayerBeenStealName".
Faction Sigil
In order to Steal Faction Sigil, your Character have to be in a Faction!Formula:
If(Stealing < 80)
return false //Too difficult
ElseIf(Stealing >= 80)
return true //No challenge
Chance = (Stealing - 80) / (80 - 80)
Success Chance = (Chance >= Random(0,100))
Having 80 Stealing or more, will always successfully steal Faction Sigil!
