tAttributes
is a plugin providing a basic interface for developers to integrate some sort of rpg-like attribute system in their gameplay modifications - it is designed with modularity in mind and doesnt make use of any game-specific features. Everything which only works on certain games is split into seperate plugins.
Leaving the core as it is and just developing "attributes" is very easy, i'll provide an example later on.

A guide to install this on your server can be found on it's wiki at github, where the newest code (changelog, rss) can be found too. If you want to contribute to this project, please do so =D , send me your attribute-code or other stuff using the attributes include. If you've found any issues/bugs whatsoever, please post those either at the issues tab on the github page or here.


Currently available Attributes:
Team Fortress 2

Dexterity (run faster), Strength (deal more damage), CritChance (...), LifeForce (more health)

Almost any game (tested with l4d2)

Dexterity (run faster), LifeForce (more health)

Everyone of them provides some cvars to tweak them to your liking, see a list of all available cvars and a short explanation here.

Because you like screenshots so much...

Download:
The latest source-code can be found here, the version posted in this thread wont be updated very regular.
Same goes for the packaged versions. Grab them from the Downloads Section at github, to get the latest versions.


Update 2010-05-04:
* Added link to cvar list.
* A lot of fixes, for a full changelog take a look at the commit history here.
* If you've installed tAttributes on your server, update now.

Pre-Packaged Binaries

You dont want the hassle of selecting/installing attributes yourself and just want to play this?
Use these pre-compiled packages (they contain levelmod too).

Developer Examples

1. Implementing your own attribute (please share it with us)

This is the most simple attribute i could think of explaining the natives you'll need. It basically just prints your attribute-level on spawn.

PHP Code:

#include <sourcemod>
#include <attributes>
#include <colors>

#pragma semicolon 1
#define PLUGIN_VERSION "0.1.0"

new g_Example[MAXPLAYERS+1];
new g_iExampleID;

public Plugin:myinfo =
{
    name = "tAttributes Mod, Example",
    author = "Thrawn",
    description = "A plugin for tAttributes Mod, Example, prints how many points you spend on this attribute.",
    version = PLUGIN_VERSION,
    url = "http://thrawn.de"
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    g_iExampleID = att_RegisterAttribute("Example", "Prints how many points you spend on this attribute.", att_OnExampleChange);

    HookEvent("player_spawn", Event_Player_Spawn);
}

public OnPluginEnd()
{
    att_UnregisterAttribute(g_iExampleID);
}

public att_OnExampleChange(iClient, iValue, iAmount) {
    g_Example[iClient] = iValue;

    if(iAmount != -1 && IsClientInGame(iClient))
    {
        CPrintToChat(iClient, "You have decided to waste another {green}%i{default} attribute point(s), which sums up to %i wasted points. Fool.", iAmount, iValue);
    }
}

public Event_Player_Spawn(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    if(att_IsEnabled())
    {
        new iClient = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"));
        CPrintToChat(iClient, "You have wasted {green}%i{default} attribute points.", g_Example[iClient]);
    }
}

If you are using the Basic Donator Interface toazron1 wrote, you can use this plugin to give Donators 2 Attribute Points for leveling up. (The normal attributes.bridge.levelmod is still needed.)

Thanks, sounds interesting!
Will look into this further later!

Is there a cmd to reset attributes for a player?

[PMAvers]

Yeah, getting a lot of those messages in the console as well. (Using the TF2 bundle version.)

Also, the in-game menu doesn't seem to work. I've tried using !att, but it doesn't do anything.

EDIT: ...Wait, seriously? I reloaded the plugins (with a sm plugins refresh), and got the message about how the attributes were registered successfully... and now the menu works. D:

Granted, it didn't seem to remember that I got to level two, and it's telling me that I have 0 points to spend. Console spam died, at least.

I still have console spam, also, players get experience from blowing up their teammates with rockets or grenades even though it does no damage.

[Thrawn2]

updated. hopefully fixes your problems.
a plugin to reset someones attributes will be coming soon.

[Acecombat2]

levelmod notify spamming my console about player death. Rolf.

I want to set xp more than 10 but it won't go further.

what command to see attribute points?. maybe i wrong does attribute given after level up or after several exp gained?
