Question about Choosing Custom skills

[Toriad]

So I have many classes in my map.

Each class has 4 skill types.

Example

Tribesman(the starting class)

has 1 passive skill
has 1 stun skill
has 1 aoe skill
has 1 direct damage skill

When the map starts up your tribesman is spawned at your base. With no skills.

Each class has a pool of skills per each skill group.

example, if a Tribesman has 1 passive skill, and a Fighter has 1 passive skill.

The choices for that passive skill will be different for the tribesman than they would be for the fighter.

I cant think of a easy way to let the player pick the skill from a list for each slot. My original idea was to give the player 4 spellbooks, each with that "slots" spell choices. Then when they select a spell from one of the spellbooks it replaces that spellbook with that spell. But I dont know if thats possible.

My second idea was to create a npc that has 4 items for sell, when they purchase an item is pulls up a dialog for picking that skill. But that just seems like a hassle. If anyone here has any ideas, I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks.

Upgrades, IMO.

Hmm, there was a tutorial map on this somewhere...
Let me find it.

EDIT: Got it, I believe this is the kind of thing [meaning not exactly] you are looking for?

 

[Toriad]

Fireblades, What do you mean Upgrades?

Wolfie, Thats kinda like how i wanna do it just without all the tables and crap if i can.

maybe you can have several taverns and when someone says -skil, you tele them to certain areas that have troll skills or fighter skills according to their race

 

[Toriad]

I would totaly do that except for im constrained to an AOS map, thats already made for me and i suck at making things with terrain

oh don't be such a lazy bum, its called CODING... everything requires work, i'm sure the link he provided already gives you a nice template to copy from and is efficient too.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

The link I provided is a map by AceHart, of course it's a nice template .
Did you even look at it Toriad [the coding and that] ?

 

[Toriad]

Yes I did actually ;p and i am currently using it ;p I figured I just cant be lazy

 

[WolfieeifloW]

If you're lazy, I'd suggest not get your hopes up for a map that will actually get played, that requires work and dedication .

 

[Toriad]

Meh, it wasn't so much about lazy as much as somewhere deep in my mind I keep thinking theres a easier way, and i dont want to do it until i find that way, but i gave up.
