So during one of my game dev sessions i was thinking about interesting things I could do in the game. One idea I thought of was to have some kind of living weapon that devours enemies and gets stronger for it.
I started thinking about it and went "huh this isn't so bad" My first thought was for a weapon that adds the devour skill, the skill would then call a fairly complicated common event and check that the enemy was under X% health or something and if it was kill it and add 1 to a variable.
I then thought "easy now I just have to get the variable to add to the weapon damage, that shouldn't be hard..." Except it kind of super is.
Then (while I was writing this post even) I thought AHA, I can just add to the actors parameters directly in the common event while recording it in a variable so i can remove it later.
A chunk of thought later and it should work, but it's really not easy.
So I suppose the purpose of this thread is to ask people if they have had any luck with making evolving weapons like this themselves.
But also to ask if anyone knows any ways to call common events from States or to happen on weapon equip or something.
The biggest issues I was having kept being when I needed to tie a specific function to a weapon and make it affect the player. That area seems really limiting I could barely do anything with it.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
