Link Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 What is a PD and could someone please help me through this, if you don't mind, I don't really care weather it only defends or not just need a base on it the rest I can figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devogen Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Lol - so you are basically saying you want a pet just for show? yes the PD item will take on the stats you apply to it, but it will move with you, cant be sent to an NPC…it cant attack anything because .. well its not a pet.The code you need to add a pet system to source is already there, just duplicate the NPC packets and add some tweaks, its not all that difficult.i cant think of a more boring way to apply pets than a paperdoll item..

Link Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 How can I tweak the npcs, I'm no scripter or coder and I was aware it couldn't do anything just wanted it anyway but didn't know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazuko Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thought I'd say this.This system works great for Pokémon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iSKweek Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 A little addition to this would be adding a new spell that changes depending on which pet you have "equipped", I have been playing around with this idea for a few days but I can't think of how to do it yet.Just food for thought.

MarkMorris Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The idea of copy NPCAi wont work, thats just a silly way of doing it. A pet should be have a completly different AI and should be processed in the same loop as the NPC as it is an NPC. My system also has an obedience. If i dont always treat him good he wont obey me has 25 different levels of obedience.EO has Npc vs Npc so why not use that as a base? Simple you already basically have a pet. If the Npc Type is a pet then have it find the master(player index) who ever the play is targeting have the Npc attack it obiously checking the obedience algorithm.

iSKweek Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 There is nothing wrong with this method. It doesn't allow as much as the method you are describing, but it is good enough for a simple pet system with a small amount of customization. Take your negative shit elsewhere.

Ruins of Hell Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 You're being ignorant. He's trying to help, that was entirely constructive. Saying, "yeah that's better but I like mine's better," is an entirely wrong process in itself. When people try to help by expressing their opinions, you at least express thanks.And also, if you read up, you did the same thing to the topic owner. You said that your idea was better.

Stop trying to contradict a part of my argument while completely ignoring the rest. You were suggesting the idea. He was suggesting the idea. It's the same thing. You wanted the feature added. He said the feature would be a good addition. There's a multitude of similarities in each of your posts, both directly correlating to the same basic idea: you want a feature.Not to mention, you're all ignoring the origin/period of this post. 2007, that's before Eclipse Origins. This was before people coded everything, and most of our solutions were hotfixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just calling ideas silly is, for lack of a better term, silly. He was ignoring the original point of this concept. To be simple.And the origin date of this thread is irrelevant as it has nothing to do with coding really, it is just an idea on how to go about doing something. I am going to just leave it though, you are right etc etc cos this will turn into a warning for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, if you were here, the date has plenty to do with the coding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSKweek Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ok I wasn't going to post but I have one last thing to say. Well 2.The warning part is because I know I have a very short temper. Wasn't the fact you are a moderator.I also now know what you mean about the date blah blah. I was here then, I just wasn't registered. I was meaning that bringing up code in this topic was irrelevant as the tutorial uses no code.You should probably delete our posts to clean up the thread or whatever, either way I'm not posting here again, feel free to om me though.

MarkMorris Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The reason I said copy the GameAi won't work is because it won't. I was being honest. Bloating your source with 2 Huge Game AIs looping the same data is fail. Adding minor checks and info to anothing Loop make more sense.I wasnt trying to be rude, either was I expecting a debate on what I said. Thanks Soul as I was just trying to help. I thought my way would stop players from ruining there source. Most players would agree on the way I said as its ALOT better than copy the whole Game AI again.
