Creating A Talent System Tutorial

[ChaosSlayerZ]

This is FREKOMAZING A+100 WORK!

I have ton of questions on how all this works, but don't really have time to dig into the code right now. Perhaps one day.
Once again AWESOME!

And most importantly thank you for sharing!

An update to this, it's probably best to use entity variables in global_player.pl when assigning talent values. I updated my implementation as such:

sub EVENT_ENTERZONE {   
    my $currentZoneID = $client->GetZoneID();
    if($currentZoneID != 344 && $currentZoneID != 345 && $currentZoneID != 202) {
        if($client->GetLevel() == 70) {
            if($qglobals{"Ultimate_Unrest_Complete"} == 1 && $qglobals{"has_gotten_charm_rank_nine"} == 1 && $qglobals{"has_gotten_oot_focus"} == 1 && $qglobals{"has_finished_ultimate_quest_line"} == 1) {
                if($client->GetClass() == 5) {
                    $client->SetEntityVariable("sk_flurry_of_hatred", $qglobals{"sk_flurry_of_hatred"});
                    $client->SetEntityVariable("sk_flurry_of_destruction", $qglobals{"sk_flurry_of_destruction"});
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

sub EVENT_USE_SKILL {
    my $currentZone = $client->GetZoneID();
    if($currentZone != 344 && $currentZone != 345 && $currentZone != 202) {
        if($client->GetClass() == 5) {
            if($skill_id == 0 || $skill_id == 1) {
                my $flurryOfHatredRank = $client->GetEntityVariable("sk_flurry_of_hatred");
                if($flurryOfHatredRank > 0) {
                    my $flurryOfHatredPathSingleMultiplier = 3;
                    my $chanceRollBonusSingleFlurryOfHatred = GET_RANDOM_NUMBER();
                    my $target = $client->GetTarget();
                    if($chanceRollBonusSingleFlurryOfHatred <= ($flurryOfHatredRank * $flurryOfHatredPathSingleMultiplier)) {
                        if($skill_id == 0) {
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 0, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 0, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 0, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->Message(14, "Your Flurry of Hatred talent triggered three additional attacks!");
                        } else {
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 1, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 1, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 1, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->Message(14, "Your Flurry of Hatred talent triggered three additional attacks!");
                        }
                    }
                }
            } elsif($skill_id == 2 || $skill_id == 3) {
                my $flurryOfDestructionRank = $client->GetEntityVariable("sk_flurry_of_destruction");
                if($flurryOfDestructionRank > 0) {
                    my $flurryOfDestructionPathSingleMultiplier = 4;
                    my $chanceRollBonusSingleFlurryOfDestruction = GET_RANDOM_NUMBER();
                    my $target = $client->GetTarget();
                    if($chanceRollBonusSingleFlurryOfDestruction <= ($flurryOfDestructionRank * $flurryOfDestructionPathSingleMultiplier)) {
                        if($skill_id == 2) {
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 2, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 2, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 2, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->Message(14, "Your Flurry of Destruction talent triggered three additional attacks!");
                        } else {
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 3, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 3, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->DoSpecialAttackDamage($target, 3, 500, 1000, 0);
                            $client->Message(14, "Your Flurry of Destruction talent triggered three additional attacks!");
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
