Hello, hello.
I'm requesting someone to do a Steal System. I once requested this and I'm still using it in project "The Chosen Ones". However I seen it very old, badly coded and... I don't understand it completely making it bug sometimes.
I want a new one, a better one. It would take too long for me to create the system. I've my hand fulls in this enormous campaign I'm creating. I try to lighten my burden with some important requests such as this one.
About the system I'm requesting from you:
Units have an ability "Steal". When it's cast on an enemy unit the system starts. It checks if this enemy unit has something to steal, and if it has it tries to steal the item. Enemies will have only max 1 item. The stealing percent depends on various things that I'll explain later.
There will be four options when stealing:
Floating texts could be excellent for showing what happened.
About the stealing percent:
The basic setting that will be run in the beginning of map should have:
The one who can create this system will have some major credits in the campaign and rep here. Questions are always welcome.

- The system must be GUI so I can understand it.
- Try to make it simple as possible so I can understand it.
- Enemies just have one item.
- Only two units will have this ability actually, both owned by player 1.
- Enemies that has something to steal has a special effect over head. When the item is stolen it disappears.
- When a succeful steal is made, the stealer gains a "thief level". This thief level unlocks some powerful things. There are two things you should also implement to the system:
- If the Thief Level is 3 or over: Mug - When a succeful steal is made also steals gold(unitlvlx10).
- If the Thief Level is 6 or over: Master Thief - Stealing will never again fail.
There will be four options when stealing:
- "Stealing succeed!" => Player have succeed stolen an item.
- "Couldn't steal anything." => Failed to steal the item.
- "Can't steal anything." => The enemy unit's negative steal percent is stronger than player's steal percent meaning it's impossible to steal at the moment from this unit.
- "Doesn't have any items." => This enemy doesn't have any items.
Floating texts could be excellent for showing what happened.
About the stealing percent:
- Items, stats and other things can increase the steal chance. I've another system that determines those, so you don't need to create that.
- The steal percent can go over 100% and same with negative.
- Some enemies have "negative steal percent", meaning they are more "stubborn" and it's harder to steal from them. For example if player has 50% steal percent and enemy unit -25% steal percent, the final chance will be 25% to success. In other case, if the negative steal percent is stronger than the actual steal percent the stealing will fail giving: "Can't steal anything."
The basic setting that will be run in the beginning of map should have:
- The unit that has an item
- Unit's steal percent minus
- And some kind of "boolean" or something is the item stolen not
- Effect that dissipates when item is stolen
