Classes

One of the main features of MMOCore is the class system. Setting up classes and giving them detailed and individualized statistics per class is one of the greatest things you can do. Each class can have its own stats, skills, leveling curves, etc.

Our class system aims to provide a completely user created class system that looks good, and works great. We are trying to fill in the holes where other plugins fell short.

Choosing a class for a player is as simple as having them run (or running for them) /class, and they can view the customized class selection GUI from there. There is also a command to force a player into a class.

Players will always belong to a default class that you setup, so even if you don't plan on using MMOCores class system, you are able to utilize every feature of this plugin while the class system remains hidden.

Choosing a class requires a “class point” and these can be given via admin command however you want. This is our way of letting the admins decide how often or when players should get to choose or change classes.

Classes tie into plugins like MMOItems in order to provide class restrictions on items and even class bonuses. MMOItems also has these restrictions and benefits built into the Crafting Stations that the plugin offers. A smithing profession can gain experience from using custom MMOItems smithing stations.

Class triggers are one of the most versatile part of classes. These can be used to perform very specific actions, and the list will always continue to grow. They can be used to give leveling rewards on certain levels, or even give a special mana to certain classes when they deal damage.

Currently the available events are:

  level-up
  level-up-(x)
  level-up-(profession)
  level-up-(profession)-(x)
  melee-damage
  physical-damage
  magic-damage
  class-chosen
  

In those examples, the placeholders (x) stand for you being able to put in a specific level that the actions happen.

All of those listed triggers go under the triggers: header in your class files. The full list of actions will be available on the actions page located elsewhere in the manual. These triggers listed above will cause the actions to occur. A few of the possible ones are command, item, mmoitem, experience, and money.

Within the classes folder on your server, each YML file stands for a specific class. You can only have one class per YML file and you can not sub folder them currently. We provide 7 class files by default for you to learn with, mess with, or use. 5 of the classes are normal classes, 1 is a default class, and 1 is a subclass example.

Something to note is that player data is saved per class. If you level up a mage to level 5, and decide to switch to warrior, you will be reset to a level 1 warrior where none of your MMOCore information saves. If you switch back to the mage, you will get back your level 5 profile with all of that data. This can not affect inventories or location in the world. But you can use the class-chosen triggers to do as you wish.
