Resetting player stats

[sssssssssss]

Ive been using that add on for the control npc to reset stuff, have .txt to join, add weapons, ect ect on player start up. I was wondering, how do you completely reset the players spar rating?

PHP Code:

  this.resetVars = { 
                     { "kills", 0 }, 
                     { "deaths", 0 },
                     { "rating", 1500 },
                     { "client.frozen", false } 
                   }; 
} 


Thats what I use, and ive tried putting in 1500/350, but it doesnt work. Need to reset the right side back to 350 as well.

Not quite sure what these do, but they look promising, especially the second.

PHP Code:

updateratingdeviation(float, float) - returns float - old deviation, time of last spar, returns new deviation
updateratings(obj) - returns object - updates an array of {rating1,ratingdeviation1, rating2,ratingdeviation2, ...}, init them at 1500 and 350

woa, what is a rating deviation?

You'll need to study statistics a bit to fully grasp the concept (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation).

Basically, spar ratings in Graal work like this:

NPC Code:

---

(recent wins VS recent loss)

over

(recent # of spars)

---

Except, each is weighed a bit.



updateratings and updateratingdevation don't work on a player object, they only provide a means to "emulate" a spar win or spar loss on a player, and return the values which you then set on the player.

The cool thing is that you can even simulate a 3-person-spar or a 4-person spar with that.



To simply set the rating / rating deviation on a player:

PHP Code:

player.rating = 1500;
player.ratingd = 350;
