ORK Feature Requests - Page 22

not in the case were u have a items image in the box in the inventory screen since this is not set as a portrait its hard to see where the actual image is when trying to move the image around and never really clearly stated what to look for for those images. thats why i figured if they were set as like an element with a dummy element for a hud so we can see an manage the positions better. but like i said if you just try each one till you figure it out its easy enough an im just lazy :P

Hi, I'm new to Ork and working through the tutorials.

It would be helpful if I could change the color of the text in the Ork Framework editor help window. Mine is small black text on a gray background, and significantly difficult to read.

(I know I could copy the text to clipboard and read it in a word processor, but that process is too slow and breaks my work flow.)

Like Ork a lot,

Heya GiL,

It occurred to me that a cool event node to add would be auto-load (last auto-save). This way we can implement 'fail' conditions where you can just instantly try again without having to game-over first.

I second this!

hi, can you add experience bonus.. to status bonus settings? i notice it wasnt there when i make 3x exp. gain ability

Here's a super useful feature that I can't believe I've never asked for before.

For Auto-close dialogues that also use Text Typing, it would be useful to have a WAIT option for it to close X seconds only after the dialogue has completed writing, and fully visible.

Right now, I have to mostly guess how long it will take for a dialogue to complete typing, and how much time I should give the player to read before closing it. It's very time-consuming and trial-and-error. What would be ideal is an option that allows me to set the amount of seconds after the dialogue has been fully written before closing it.

@Alex1234

All of those should be attainable with ORK already, just requires some knowhow with Status Values and formulas. You probably won't find features like that prebuilt, and have to implement it yourself, since ORK's flexibility means that games can have extremely different damage mechanics.

@Alex1234 : You can do breaking damage limits in your main damage formula as Kirb says - add a Check Status node after you calculate the damage and check for the user's equipment, status effect or whatever it is you want to allow the damage to exceed your cap (like the user having a special item equipped). If it succeeds, let the damage go through (uncapped). If it fails, add a Limit Value node and cap the damage to 9999. Just remember to not set a maximum for the damage at the beginning of the formula.

And a small request: would it be possible to get a Status Value to Variable event step for use in Battle and Game Events? Or is this already doable and I'm totally missing it? I tried using a Custom Statistic to Variable node and then pulling the value using a formula, but it's always returning 0 (perhaps because my Target Actor is failing the combatant check, even though other 'Target' references to it in the same event seem to function?)

Is there a method already in the ORK framework that allows you to place items down somewhere in the 3d world. say you want to place a chair on the ground you click on it in your inventory and display it in the 3d world wherever their mouse is currently located.
I was thinking of doing this so that prefabs could be placed into the world by a player.
