Hello, currently im trying to develop a little app based on a game to help with proper equipment selection, its not a commercial project, just something that has been giving me a migrane since i started, and the problem I am having is quite a frustrating one indeed.
I have 20 labels that are supposed to hold ''skills'' and 20 more that hold their ''skill points''. They make up a so called skill tree which looks roughly like this:
Helmet: Skill1, skill point1; skill2, skillpoint2
Skill3, skill point3; skill4, skillpoint4
Armor: Skill1, skill point1; skill2, skillpoint2
Skill3, skill point3; skill4, skillpoint4
Gloves: Skill1, skill point1; skill2, skillpoint2
Skill3, skill point3; skill4, skillpoint4
Pants: Skill1, skill point1; skill2, skillpoint2
Skill3, skill point3; skill4, skillpoint4
Boots: Skill1, skill point1; skill2, skillpoint2
Skill3, skill point3; skill4, skillpoint4
And I also have 88 skills that can be assigned to those labels, together with a script that automatically assigns a certain ammount of skill points to that specific skill that comes from a selected piece of armor.
Now, what I need to do is write a script that would check when a certain skill in the skill tree has reached the required ammount of skill points once i press a button and assign a ''active skill bonus'' specific to that one skill. So for example if
throughout the whole skill tree, my helmet has a skill called ''HP UP'' with the skill point value of 5, and then my Gloves have the same skill with 5 more points, once I press a button, the script would check the whole tree and once it recognizes that ''HP UP'' has reached 10 skill points, it would return a message with something like ''HP UP has reached 10 points, Double HP has been activated''.
Keeping in mind that a certain piece of armor might have HP UP in its third skill label, and another piece might have it as skill 1.
So far ive tried a lot of different methods, none of them effective. At one point my checking script was over 6000 lines in length. Im very close to the point where i will just take my laptop and frisbee it out the window. And any help or ideas on how to handle this, no matter how small would be greatly appreciated.
