Different Level Bosses/Random Order??

[dnel57]

Not sure how to label the title.

The game I am planning out,is to be a large,free roaming game.
There will be eight required dungeons (bosses) during the largest
part of the of the game.
They will be scattered throughout the "world"
What I would like to ask: is there a way to script,use variables or
branches,etc.,where the first boss you encounter is the weakest and
the bosses will be stronger in succession,last one being the strongest of the eight.
They will be basically the same boss,only each will have it's own attacks,magic,etc.
Then,I would only have to alter hp.def.mat,etc. for each.
The reason is that there is no way to know which one will be encountered first or last.
I certainly don't want players tackling the strongest,first.
The other idea was to have a player(s)minimum level requirement
for each,although,that would destroy the idea of free movement.
I also thought of keys.
Be given the key for the first dungeon and,then,each dungeon would have a key for the next?
Any ideas?Or,is this idea undoable?
Thanks

You want to give levels to enemies...There are enemy level scripts actually. In fact, I'll link one example:

You can basically set the level of the enemy to a variable. You might also use the associated enemy class script for adjusting those stats.

This is another enemy level script.

Yeah, this isn't too hard, and you don't need Enemy Levels (unless you want them).

Make eight boss troops, each of a harder difficulty than the last. In each of the eight dungeons, where the player will battle "a boss", have the event increase a variable by 1 and then run conditional branches: if the variable is now equal to 1, have the player face the easiest boss. If the variable is now 2, have them face the second-easiest boss. And so on, up to if the variable is now equal to 8, have the player face the hardest boss.

The more dungeons that the player completed, and the more versions of this boss they already beat, the harder the boss they will now face is, up until the 8th and last fight they have which will appropriately be against the last and hardest version of the boss.

Thanks,Wavelength.
Interesting idea.
