Rpg request

[rachel8889]

I know there is already a plug in for rpg stats but it's not what I'm wanting. I'm wanting an actual rpg stat system for my site rather than stats that work from posts.
I have a system for it worked out manually as a tabletop rpg but I figure it would much easier to keep track of everything if it could be recorded automatically.

I thought about making a whole page just for a rpg using script but I'm not that knowledgable about script and I don't think it would be possible to add the stats to the member profile.

Any feedback in my endeavor would be very appreciated.

how do the stats increase? if you are manually increasing stats, why not just use custom profile fields?

[rachel8889]

Because I would have to manually change each member's stats each time and personally, I would like to play my rpg ha. I actually tried manual before and it was in the brink of impossible to keep up with.

I'm not certain if automatic could be achieved but that's what would be awesome.

I would like someway to be able to code in enemies that have specific stats themselves and maybe a button or a couple of buttons for options to fight the enemies and the enemies to drop exp-which would go towards the stats rather than the post count.

I thought about making individual posts and creating monsters that way and then code in buttons but there is still no way to implement the numbers gained towards rpg stats.

The more I think about it though the more difficult and impossible it seems.

It IS a hefty idea. woop is still working on his experience plugin, and todge has a creature hunter plugin. I can tell you now NOTHING can be automatic. there will always have to be user action involved. I have a fight club plugin in planning still, but its nowhere started. What you are after might not even be possible in a SINGLE plugin but would probably require several plugins in order to encompass everything.

[rachel8889]

I hear ya. I figured it would be a difficult thing to accomplish. Just figured I'd ask and see if it was anyway at all possible to accomplish.
And yeah, I mean I imagined a way to create a map with hotspots and those hotspots lead to an area where a member would go to fight enemies. While I say automatic I mean a way to plug in buttons for abilities and skills to press in order to fight the enemies and then the numbers would be automatically plugged in instead of having to do a whole lot of manual math and manually updating numbers for stats.

I could see it having to be a few plugins rather than one. I mainly just wanted to know if it were possible or if I should look for another option. I might not ever find what I'm looking for and might have to settle for manually mathing and inputting numbers. Just would rather have something easier to manage, you know?

[Wormopolis]

definitely keep trying. I think several of us are just burned out right now and need a breather. hopefully some new coders will start filling more and more requests as well.

Most of my time lately has been bug fixing or adding new features to the 60+ plugins I already have written...

[rachel8889]

I hear you. It sucks getting burned out. I'll definitely keep looking then. I'm really hoping I can find something workable even if it's in its most simplest form. Thank you for all your feedback. I really appreciate it

Ok, so this is the basic idea of how I would like for it to be set up.
I was thinking that maybe it could be made like the tic tac toe plugin where it could be accessible to specific boards.
There would need to be some extra stuff to go along with it though.

Firstly, what I would need is a code for the custom profile fields to be entered into the areas for the player sections and for the enemy sections it would need to be editable through the plugin.
Also, there would need to be a way to have multiple editable 'games' so it's not just one enemy/mission.
Possibly a window to select different ones from.

Secondly, math for a dice roll to see if member or enemy attacks first. And then math that would deplete the numbers of the HP and MP.

And possibly give specified EXP at the end of the battle.

That's all I can think of as of right now. I'm sure there would be more bugs and kinks to work out.
I would really like it if someone could help me out with this. I am a super noob at coding but I am learning so if no one is willing to help then I'll just have to keep learning until I can code it on my own. I think a lot of people would like this though.
