ORK Feature Requests - Page 58

Excellent, thank you :-) It works as intended now.



Although it's little bit unintuitive to have equipment types just under Status Fork, so thank you for adding it also to Equipment Fork in the future - I bet it will save hours of head scratching in the future :-D

Hi!

Something I'd really like is an option to prevent the user from casting an AoE somehwere there's no target to hit.

For example, right now in Ork, if we make an AoE with a target range ''None', you can freely select where you want to cast the ability. However, if you misclick and end up clicking somewhere no target will be affected, well the player lost their spell.

I think it'd make a great addition to be able to prevent the player from wasting their turn by making sure the spell can only be cast if at least one valid target would be affected within the area.

Thank you :)

@Corky
There's an option for that in Editor > Editor Settings > Node Editor Settings, enable Open Last Schematic to automatically open it again :)

@LostForest
Currently not, but something like this (more focused on importing data from dialogue planning tools) is planned for future releases, though I don't know when yet.

Anyway, you can split dialogues into multiple pages in a single dialogue node via page end text codes (< #> without the space), so each part is shown on it's own. Doesn't open/close the UI box, though.

For Change Variables - String could we get an option to use the Text - Message Content? I've often fount myself putting text code, sprite data, and other information in strings and it would be less tedious to just have these options available right in the Change Variables node.

Also, could we get a text code to change the portrait(s) image after a page end?

One suggestion about: Combatants -> ChooseOne -> Inventory & Equipment -> Start Equipment -> Equipment Set 0 -> Start Equipment 0

- First you already choose an equipment slot (e.g. Armor).
- Then you have to chose the equipment you wand to spawn on the combatant (e.g. Light Armor 1)

Suggestion:
- Please filter the second (Equipment) pulldown content based on the former selection (Equipment Slot).
- When I chose Armor I don't have to see all the weapons or other things. It would speed up the setup.

@thomas123 There are a few ways you can go about it. One way is to just create a substate machine in mecanim for all of your weapon specific animations, and create a new animation parameter (weapontype as an int for example) and have your equipment and the like update that parameter value based on what it is. This keeps it all in one animator and lets you keep the non-weapon related animations around to be used.

Another is to use override controllers with your "base" having all of that non-weapon animation information set up, and then your weapon animation controller changes just defining the weapon info in ORK. Here is a post I made where I clarify that this behaivor is expected, what you can note is that my SwordAndShield animation set does *not* have anything defined in ORK, but when called it "falls back" to the Unarmed animation set which does have these defined, and since the information in both Mecanim animators is the same, it works.

If the only difference having a weapon makes is combat related stuff, like damage, attacks, etc. then I would just recommend the first. It would be less work on your end and prevent having to redefine shared animations like movement and the like. If, however, you have all of these animations being different based on weapon then you'd likely want to go the second route and define the animations that are not shared so that you can have appropriate timing information.

@MM7565
A status value is a single value, so you'd simply have to set up another status value for this.
