I'm not using the ES system if that's what you mean. ;D

[Robin]

If you're using entity-based projectiles you're using Sean's system from '05\. Doesn't matter if you program it from scratch, it's the same system.

Would you mind suggesting me a better way? Wouldn't mind hearing it, I'll give it a go.

[Robin]

Plenty other ways to handle it. Still haven't decided how I'm going to. I'll either be using target-based projectiles or animation-based directional projectiles.

[mrmiguu]

What does entity-based mean? Is it only running and calculating based on a physical object, created and heading in a certain direction? I know what Robin is refering to by animation-based. alot of MMOs use animations, just like melee attacks but with much more range given, to display their projectiles.

[NullSkillVoid]

The targeting system sounds nice, attack, check for a hit, then do the damage with the animation thrown in somewhere, so yea.

Exactly.

I can tell since the projectile is relative to the player's position (even when they jump, the arrow/star shoots downward but up with the player's momentum). That system is probably the most efficient.

I was wondering about this too.

[Robin]

It's a mystery.

hmm, I shall investigate.

[horsehead]

wait better for the new version i hope its true that it come out this week but its not sure  :renzo:

[VitinhooxD]

Nice GUI Robin.

[Robin]

Yeah, that won't be in the release probably. It's just a cheap edit of the WN one so I can edit the engine without staring at that greyness all day. Just thought I should show off _some_ progress, seen as though most of what I've been doing is invisible to the casual user.

[VitinhooxD]

Yeah , that grayness GUI looks so gray . ( o rly) So wont you tell me what does the stats do now? :3 *grab shield and gets ready for flaming and bashing *

[shadowwulf]

hmm to be honest i only see one thing hinted at… and of course the GUI appearance... idk. havent touched it in a while... working on data and stories and hardware

I've already told you. No one knows what the stats do. I randomly swapped out the old set for the new one. I just changed them to whatever felt right at the time.

If you want to know what the new system is like, I suggest you stop being so lazy and look for yourself next time.

You need to lurk more then. I posted it in July and it's been on the first page of the 'Design' forum ever since.

[VitinhooxD]

I dont really check the design forum.Nice ideas for a stat system btw.

[Jeff]

On the topic of the stat system, u never answered my question on the EO stat system thread.  Will there be a stat determining the power of ranged weapons?

There aren't any ranged weapons.
