how will the layout of the Battle system work, like enemies on right, char on left. plus, will there be multiple chars u can fight with, or just one. And, wat size graphics do u plan?
btw,sounds good :thumb:

Post by: Spellshaper on December 03, 2005, 06:09:00 am

what I currently intend:

the battle starts with u on the right, enemies on the left, but randomly placed...
u will always act solitary, and you and the enemies can change position during battle... I

Very cool idea.  If you move, I assume the bar will lose some ground, so to speak.

sound nice, kinda like FFT

Title: BM Battle System
Post by: BCTurk on December 05, 2005, 03:46:00 pm

That would work too, and maybe the farther they move, the less damage the attack does (less energy?)

good idea :)

Title: BM Battle System
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 06, 2005, 03:08:00 am

indeed. As your level increase i guess you would be able to move further right?

Title: BM Battle System
Post by: Spellshaper on December 06, 2005, 03:20:00 am

hm... I guess not :D
that would depend on how many points you spend on the speed attribute... :)

do u have a system allowed for combos so far? they always make the game more intresting

Title: BM Battle System
Post by: Spellshaper on December 07, 2005, 10:18:00 am

do u mean combos as enhanced attacks or combinations of different attacks?

Title: BM Battle System
Post by: dragon__lance on December 07, 2005, 10:28:00 am

i don't really care, both i guess. for instance, well nevermind, cause i guess u can't really have chain attacks in a rpg, but if it was an action game like Kingdom Hearts, u can have hit combos, the higher the combo, the more dmg u do. but in rpgs, i guess wat i mean is like casting fire, then do a slash, then it becomes fireslash :)

hm... implementable, but would consume a lot of mem and processing time :D

I would suggest 16x16 unless you planned to have battles side scrolling like Illusiat series (I mean you see the floor at bottom and the char on it instead of viewing all of this in bird view)

Post by: Spellshaper on January 05, 2006, 06:26:00 am

Settled for 16*16 sprites...

I got a question:

Is there a way to extract the position of a number from a matrix other than
c1-->

CODE

ec1 :{0,->L1 :For(A,1,Y-dim :For(B,1,X-dim :If [A](A,B)=3 :{A,B->L1 :End :End c2

ec2
, assuming that this number exists only once inside of the matrix...

cause that

Post by: dragon__lance on January 06, 2006, 02:09:00 pm

y would u need to extract a number from a matrix?

Title: BM Battle System
Post by: BCTurk on January 06, 2006, 04:32:00 pm

Collision detection I assume.

Title: BM Battle System
Post by: Spellshaper on January 07, 2006, 01:34:00 am

exactly! :)

so... anyone knows?

Title: BM Battle System
Post by: dragon__lance on January 07, 2006, 12:15:00 pm

still, y would u need collusion detection in battle system? unless the character moves, then just assign the char (x,y) variables like in walking engine?
on a side note: one solution would be to also make a string version of the matrix, then use the command instring(.

He has multiple characters moving around the screen in his battle engine and I'm assuming he's using this so they don't run into eachother.  I don't really have any ideas.

ok, now i understand, here's one method u can use to get location of certain stuff. When u create the matrix used for battle, also create a string version of that matrix. For instance:
[[1,1,1,1]]
[[1,0,0,1]]
[[1,0,0,1]]
[[1,1,1,1]]
a string version could be "1111"+"1001"+"1001"+"1111"
if a number is over nine, just use a letter to represent it. Now when u want to find specific location of a certain number, just use instring(str1,"(object)",1. This will give the location in string of the object ur looking for. Now just convert that number into (x,y) coordinates of matrix. hope i helped ;)
