ORK Feature Requests

Kirb

<blockquote>Ok - yeah, that's definitely coming soon :D </blockquote>

Sweet!

Also! I totally forgot another tiny request I had to go with the Transform checks:

In Battle Events > Spawn Prefab > Offsets; we have Position and Rotation offsets, do you think you could add Scale offsets as well? (So I could spawn prefabs at X: -1, etc) It'd prevent me from having to make a Left and Right version of every attack animation.

@gil Congratulations on ORK 2's Official release!

Here is a feature request: For the turn calculation in turn-based combat can you add an option not to sort but to just always pick the combatant with the highest time value every turn. That way it's entirely left up to formulas and a FFX type turn order would be possible, where some slow combatants might have to wait several complete cycles before having the opportunity to perform an action. I have been trying a formula that adds the combatant's AGL and then checks if it's over X and then resets the formula to 0 to start over again.

Thanks!

Interesting idea - so, each time a combatant finished performing his action, all combatants' turn value would increase (and the combatant who finished will be reset to 0), right? Usually you should be able to check a formula's value (in the formula) and react on it ... but starting over again is dangerous and could result in an eternal loop and crash the game.

Would be cool to have a Check Animation and Change Animation events. One would check what animation is the character currently playing and it'll proceed depending on the failure or success node. And the other will change the current animation.

Yes and every turn whoever has the highest turn value wins the turn! - but I think instead of resetting the combatant's turn value after it performs their action to 0 simply add 0. Other wise in a 1v1 fight it would still be every other turn regardless of a combatant's speed. Also in the event that two or more combatants have the same turn value, the one with the higher specified stat should win.

Icing on the cake would be if a number counter hovering over each combatant displayed the countdown until their next turn. Then things like delay attacks and haste effects could greatly be used to make battles very tactical.

Brianjkd

After thinking about this some more I realize it would be better to do this: After each time a combatant finished performing his action, all combatants' turn value would increase (and the combatant who finished will be reset to their AGL Status Value). The idea of adding 0 would work in a 1v1 but in a fight with more combatants only the quickest 2 combatants would ever get a turn. By resetting to a status value it would ensure its still not every other turn.

I'll add an option where you can do it how it suits you. So, it will optionally be possible to add a value (from a fixed value, formula, etc.) to all combatants after one performed his action. Additionally it's splitted for the combatant who performed the action and the rest - and you can optionally reset the value before adding the new one :)

Brianjkd

Awesome, thank you!

GiL,

Do you think you could add a 'Block Control Maps' node? Need a way to prevent the player from using any of the attack or ability keys, but adding 8 different 'Block Input' nodes at the beginning of every event cutscene, and then unblocking them at the end of every event would probably kill me. (Can't block all Input, since I need to be able to click through the dialogue!)

Can't use Block Player control as that freezes player movement.

gamingislove

Block a specific control map or control maps in general?

Kirb

Either or! Whichever would be less work for you. :D

Hi! Congrats on the official release GiL! I've been trying out the demo to get the hang for it before purchasing. Loving it so far! ^w I do have some request in mind currently and correct me if i'm wrong or if It has been mentioned on the forums already.

- Double tap input for a different input control (ie. double tap and hold left or right to run. Instead of walking) - Double Jump Option - Camera Collision so it doesn't go thru walls. - Camera Follows that allows zoom and rotate Camera Mouse and Follow fusion

Loopdaloop

@Shadow There's a camera collision script in the forums. As for the other things ork's controller is meant to be basic and I think Gil is gonna expand on it but not till later down the road as it's not a main concern.

gamingislove

@shadowcap The built in controls are pretty basic and only for demonstration - you can use any custom control scripts you want :) You only need to tell ORK the name of the script (in Base/Control > Game Controls) to allow enabling/disabling them when needed.

shadowcap

cool ^^ Ah I got it. thanks for that! say the camera look at or other event steps just disables my component scripts until the step ends right? It's using the same camera?

Kirb

Generally! It differs on what you're doing. Since I'm doing side-scrolling 2D, I generally just use the Change Position nod on my camera object for moving and zooming in in events.

But yeah, as long as you declare the name of your custom components, the nodes will be directed to them.

Edit: My bad, GiL is right; forgot to mention that you'd have to disable it.

gamingislove

@shadowcap No, the camera steps don't automatically disable the camera - you'll either have to disable the camera control for the entire event (in the event settings), or use the Block Camera Control step to block/unblock the control.

Kirb

Another small request for the future:

Separate Damage notification settings for Critical hits on status values. That way we can have different font sizes, colors and move events for when a critical strike is done.

gamingislove

Good idea, I'll put it on my list for the next update :)

Loopdaloop

Would it be possible to get an option to add/remove and enable/disable components when you call/close a menu?

Example: Called menu > component B disabled > component A enabled Closed Menu > Components A disabled > Component B enabled

Vice versa for adding/removing
