Script question

Author	Topic: Script question
Gale Warrior Member # 3946	written Friday, March 12 2004 14:13 Profile Homepage #0 i practically know nothing about scripts, but i have a question on if this will work... i'm going to make a scenario, it's supposed to be a non-magical, non-projectile, single player scenario, that's complicated in itself, even so, that can be done by the player, by having one player and not being a mage, and you won't find missles in my scenario, but now onto my question... At the beginning of my scenario, i was gonna have a window pop up, and it will say "choose your warrior's class" option 1. knight option 2. samurai option 3. fighter and what these classes will do is give you different items depending on their class knights will have iron rapiers: 2-10D + 1-5x swords and strength. spec. parry + 2, and iron chain mails samurais will have katanas: 4-20D + 1-8x swords and strength. spec. 10% protection from all damage, also they will have robes fighters will have iron greatswords: 2-14D + 1-7 x swords and strength, and iron plates i just wanted to know if this would be possible at the begining of my scenario...

It will most definitly be a pain to make, but should work. Side note: Knights and Samurai are essentially the same... but that doesn't make a difference. -------------------- DEMON PLAY, DEMON OUT!

Boots Shock Trooper Member # 455	written Friday, March 12 2004 14:54 Profile #4 I also cannot speak to BoA scripts, but I can say that BoE players are by now accustomed to using prefabricated singleton parties provided by a scenario designer (in separate save files alongside the .exs), so you wouldn't necessarily have to accomplish this within the scenario program itself. Of course, having to design and distribute six individual party files (Mac and PC versions of each class) might get a bit ungainly. -------------------- Forgive them, for they are young and rich and white.

Okay, three sects you can join is a cliché, but it works. :P -------------------- The Great Mister kommari@gmail.com[/url] Posts: 972 | Registered: Tuesday, October 28 2003 08:00
Lt.

Then you wouldn't have to deal with all the scripting. The problem will be in forcing them to use the weapons you gave them. -------------------- Lt.

Daedalus Shock Trooper Member # 2300	written Saturday, March 13 2004 13:50 Profile #9 I assume there'd be a way of stripping the party of its inventory, like the Three Crones do in Nethergate (for the Celts)? You could then give them the inventory you wanted them to have to use, and return their original inventory at the end of the scenario. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 | Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00
