[QUESTIONS] Real-time first person with multiple-party

Actually this still happens.. Even if i have 2 different HUD for 2 different abilities.. :(

6) Can you check if a combatant is dead in event? I can check if user or target are, but i cannot find any way to check if another combatant of the player group is dead.. I need this to switch player and to avoid a dead character becomes the player itself. ^^

7) Any way to use group member number/position while making checks in events? Like currentMember = 0 set player to #member.1

Maybe i am totally missing these, but i suppose a better controls on active groups could be useful. :)

Thanks GiL. ^^

Using 2 HUDs will allow assigning from one to the other. I'll look into it - I thought there was an option to block assignments in general, will add one if it's not already there :)

6) In game events, yes, in battle events, you only have those available that are part of the action (user/target). Probably better if I just add new steps to change the player like using the member change keys :)

7) No.

Usually, you'd use the controls defind for changing members to do this kind of stuff, not use an event ...

Thanks a lot. However, starting from ORK current states, it is really possible with a good similarity to reproduce a system like MM, your framework is great GiL. ^_^

I have one last question before going back to my main project, is it possible to use an image for shortcut pressed also, like when you use controls HUD? I didn't find any way to change button image while pressing the shortcut, but i could have missed some options there. :D

gamingislove

No, that's not possible.

Back in action...

Is it possible to cast an ability that activate a cursor, and with that cursor select one of the combatant HUD? Here is the situation: i have one combatant spawned per time, in a group of 2-4 characters, and he is the player. He can attack and casts ability. About simple attacks and damagin abilities like casting a fireball there is no problems, but i cannot set up a proper healing: i would like to make a cursor spawn and with that select one of the combatants HUD to cast heal on him. Of course, it could be different from the player, so the prefab / the combatant is not active in the scene... I tried various settings, but either the heal is not cast or it just heal the player... Any suggestion about this? Thanks. :)

There are no cursors that can be spawned on HUDs. Also, I don't quite understand your heal setup - why not just use a normal ability that selects a target and heals it?

Kaemalux

Sorry GiL, it is like Might and Magic saga... Basically in ORK i managed to have one of four combatant spawned, the character attacks/cast the ability/use an item and the player is switched. Being first person and with only one combatant ( the player ) spawned, i cannto find a way to select other combatants for healing... Consider i am not using battle menu, abilities and attacks can be used every moment and the whole scene is in real time. I hope i made it clearer... ^

Unspawned combatants don't really participate in battles. You'd have to use a menu screen to use actions of them.

Kaemalux

Yeah, that was the conclusion i supposed... :)

Is it possible to select battle group members through a dialogue and/or use on them a skill? Like bypassing the battle menu and calling immediatly the target selection...

gamingislove

Like I said, you could only use menu screens for actions from unspawned members.
