Pet System and/or Summon System

[The Dragon God]

   I think I saw a FF inspired summon system on Youtube, I'm not sure but I think it was Moghunter. Anyway, IF nothing else I'm trying to do a pet system, since there aren't many animal sprites DO NOT expect system to have alot of variety. 

  I'm working on it now, I'll update asap. IF this has been done already, I would like the script. lol

well, there was quite a few of those... you can always look at the masterlist for this, search for maybe either summons,guardians,pets etc

and good luck on making your own...

anyway, saying that do not expect system to have variety due to lack of sprites is not really a good idea... Your system can have variety even if you don't have sample sprites to go with it... after all, the sprites are responsibility of the users of your system, not of your system...

Hmm your right. Just so we clear, I was not trying to badmouth the software, on the contrary I love it, I had nor do I have any regrets buying it. I guess I'm trying to saying that even though the software is great, I'm not. So I didn't want peopleto hype up over my idea and at the end result see how bad I am. I only did scripting once at college for a Intro to Computer Programming/Computer Science class and I never completed it only because my teacher was teaching me through bank loans and it was boring. Despite that being a possible issue here, on the contrary I like scripting on this software. Probably do to the fact(s) I don't want to ignore scripting in general and I love designing games.

 I appreciate the support, like I said I lack experience when scripting.

Well I can tell you that a few of those Youtube Summon Systems are totally evented at least one for sure (might have been two but I am not sure right now).

If you make a pet system I hope it can have the pet interact with stuff like find treasure, secrets, and stuff like that. I miss the Dog from Fable 2!!!

 

[The Dragon God]

I'll try to do something lol.

oh wait... by pet you mean something following you in the map and you can issue orders and such? if yes, then my comment was wrong... I was thinking about summoning in battles...

I want it to be both. Interactive outside battles as well as inside.

Ok so now I got my main character's pet to follow her but I don't want the player to have the pet be in the party at the start, instead I'm trying to make a Event where the player has a choice to add the pet into the party or not. Sadly I can't seem to get my Events to work lol. Any help is appreciated.

I know Galv had a pet system thing but I think it was just for stat-purposes.

 

[The Dragon God]

Hmm so I assume then that Galv's pet system script has players getting stat bonuses from their pets then? Hmm seems kinda like a summon, where the very presence of your pet in battle gives you a stat boost. I like it BUT my pset system hopefully will be more interactive and diverse. The pet's fight in your party, have buff and debuff abilities and attacks and follow you around and can interact in the game. Unfortunately I need Facesets of animals to do more of the interaction side of my idea.

So far I got the pet as a party member done. Just need a way to have the player be able to remove and/or add pets to their party by choice.

 

[ShinGamix]

I want a pet like Kiki the monkey from a Link to the past that can press switches to and jump stuff for ya!

 

[The Dragon God]

Finally was able to figure out how to add the pet into the party. And be able to let the player choose if he/she wants to keep the pet. Sadly IF you add the pet, the Event has it where the pet's graphic still stays at it's original spot AND when yuou get the pet into your party a 2nd graphic is added to represent the pet as a Actor in your party. To put it frank, two graphics for the pet are there. Ignore that lol XD

Hopefully I'll master the process of making Events, any help or tips is needed and greatly appreciated.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

well, remove the graphic of the event once you add the pet to the party...

 

[The Dragon God]

Hmm maybe but then therebe no way for players to put the pet back in case they don't want the pet in their party anymore. Lol why do I have trouble with Eventing.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

there still is, assuming you have a pet event for every map... you can simply have a switch that is ON when the pet is out of the party, which would enable the pet events to have the graphics, then turn it off when the player chooses to put the pet in the party... then simply turn it ON again when the player removes the pet from the party...

then also always have a parallel process event on the maps to ensure that the pet graphics is always near to the player... at least during the times that the switch is off...

it's quite a bit of work... 

 

[The Dragon God]

How do I go about doing that exactly?

 

[The Dragon God]

My formula for the pet system seems to be working, trial & error folks lol.

 

[The Dragon God]

 I'm happy about this idea, hopefully players will enjoy it.
