RPG Tutorial 1: Experience and leveling

Post by **Jay** » Tue Aug 28, 2007 9:25 pm

Hello guys, on request of another user i have wrote a tutorial that explaines how to do:

-a basic scripted player
-player attributes
-implementing uses for stats like strenght, speed and stamina
-how to implement melee damage
-how to show an levelup-screen using flipbooks
-how to implement mouse control on the levelup-screen
-how to give experience to the player

it also gives a overview over scripted players and uses the genericplayer.s in scripts\sample as the default scripted player.

I suppose you already know how to add pawns, otherwise this tutorial is nothing for you.

be warned: it's big, 20 pages!

report any critics, positive and negative, here please.

EDIT: Oh yes, i forgot: For allowing mouse input to be made, use the MouseControlledPlayer(false); and ShowMouse(true); commands in the Setup order. Otherwise the mouse will not be visible and so there will be no mouse input.

Excellent tutorial, Jay!

I'm sure a lot of people will find this useful, since so many are in need of a scripted player. I think this thread should be stickied.

Thanks.

I've noticed that the topic is called RPG tutorial 1:... Is there going to be a second one? If so could it be about making inventory please?

That's exactly the plan.

If you add new attributes, you have to script in the formulas (formulae?) to apply to those attributes.
