Is it possible to write a script that allows you to manage arbitrary "points" and allow users to create their own "points"?
For example, if you look around, you might find things like "skill points" or "ability points" or "tech points" or "job points" or whatever points that may be needed for certain systems.
And it's really easy for someone to say "I want to have a new set of points for a particular script"
Don't know how feasible the concept would be though, since points themselves aren't useful unless you hook them up to other logic that will use those points.
There's also the issue of the scope of these points. Some points are tracked for each actor, while others may be for the entire party, or throughout the entire game.
The idea would likely be used as a framework for other scripters.
Rather than having to write all of the methods needed to calculate and work with points (error-prone, lots of things to consider), this script will provide all of those, and the scripter just needs to define how the points are used, where they are drawn, etc.
