Ok here is the demo stealing in more detail.
The only way to get some skills in demo is with people ner you,
Here is the full script with as mutch as i know comment in it. it took some time
There is alot missing in this script compaire how it was in T2A. There is no can only steel 1 stone = 10% 2 stones 20% and so on. I cant see any "guard me" checks and no skill gain without npc's around seems off to and might got changes. The server is a "beta" build of T2A before it was released live so it is a mix of UO gold and T2A . So there is sone things off here and there.
Houseing is a great example of this. there is no house signs in the demo server but in T2A we had them.
The only way to get some skills in demo is with people ner you,
PHP Code:
int Q691 = witnessCrime(getLocation(usedon), this, owner, getName(usedon), Q4IB, (getValue(usedon) + 0x04) / 0x05, 0x01); // Can anyone see you?
///// witnessCrime (Location(XYZ), thief, owner (usedon), name, range, Value of item + 4 / 5, 1)
// we dont have info on witnessCrime function :(
// it is also used in the provo script.
changeKarma(this, 0x00 - 0x1388); // Karma - 5000 for each time steeling? Seems hash
if(!getCompileFlag(0x01)) // I have no ide what this is.
{
criminalActAdvanced(this, owner, 0x01, 0x06, 0x18 * 0x02, 0x00);
}
if(Q691 > 0x00) // was someone around
{
if(!getCompileFlag(0x01)) // did someone see you?
{
setCriminal(this, 0x01E0); // 0x01E0 = duration 8 min

///// give skill points only if someone can see you
