Rathalos888 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Obviously, I lie bosses who are fun, chalenging, and very group related.But, I am not good with advanced stuff or ideas, so I have no clue what I'm doing other than making them callenging and hard enough to the point where soloing them is difficult and parties are a must.

Guest Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hey, I'm working on a scripted boss right now. Here are the ideas I've come up with:>Warp to random spot on the map.>Spell that homes in on the player automatically.>Summon minions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathalos888 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Heh, that sounds pretty sweet, you're lucky you know how to script. I r nubs =P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Well, I just finished it. But, after he dies, the scripts are still in progress. I should really get Balliztik to source edit in those extra NPC commands. X_XAs with the sadscripting thing, it's hard work, not luck. =P It's actually pretty easy to learn.Also, here's a boss script that gh0st made, might give you some ideas.http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,18577.0.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolani Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Remember to make not all your bosses big guys with tons of hp because from a player standpoint this get tiring and boring when overused. Give him special abilities that make combat interesting to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowwulf Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 for the group aspect… think classes or playstyles...make a series of events to do significant or any damage.like freeze him with cold magic or something in order to get tanks behind him...some scripting will be needed to do anyting worth while.

bambam Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 make sure if you have spells that poison or burn or stop monsters in their tracks, that they dont work on bossess. plus every cool boss breathes flames and has mad effects and can fly.

shadowwulf Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 not necro… necro post says over 120 days. and warns you it is a necro after 60 i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolani Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Even If the last post was what about a month ago, Rathalos is asking advice on bosses presumably for his game. The significence of this is - games usually take a long time to make so i dought our frined Rathalos has finished his game, or even finished all his bosses for it. Therefor one needs to look critically at the context of a post before on can condem the poster as necroing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowwulf Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 good one. people tend to jump on the necro blame and for SOME people, no names, i think its just to boost post count…If the quesiton is ongoing and unasnwered then i think its ok to post.If they didnt want you to be able to then they would have made topics autolock after so much time.

Dark Crusade Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well considering this topic was dead, and Rathalos88 hasn't been online since August 21, 2008, I'd definately say this is a necro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowwulf Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 not many people bother to check online status though, quickder to give some quick advice.Now if we had a little Last Online: [Date] under their reputation or something that would help.

Dark Crusade Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 True, but I doubt that's necessary. Its not like Necros are the end of the world or anything, so I say we drop it. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathalos888 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Very true that my game is still in progress >_<.And according to what you all said, this isn't a necro. Yay =D.Anyway, any more ideas? I'm starting to try and learn script for quests, bosses, spells, and all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Add NPC spells.Just store a few in an array then either do an event triggered one (If HP < 30 then cast heal) or just random different attacks. Ranged attacks also work well, where the boss doesn't need to follow the players around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowwulf Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 one issue about npc's that heal when hp<30… how do you kill them?every time they hit <30 they just heal... you would have to hti for more than 30 or kill really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 It was an _example_. Besides, as the spell casting time can be interrupted by attacks, it is still quite easy to avoid it healing itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinking Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I would make the npc if this is possible be able to make a clone of itself to make it a better battle have a spell that might be able to bring em together or something and make em have weaknesses like element knock out. just an idea I'm new to eclipse so I know nothing about the script well I know some but it does not help me it just gives me errors and shuts me out.
