To create an alignment system plugin

[Boreas]

Just like the game "Shin Megamitensei （真・女神転生）", an alignment system is used to measure player's behaviour and choices in the game.
It can be demonstrated by a x,y coordinate graph.


Like:


Light-Law


Light-Neutral


Light-Chaos


Neutral-Law


Neutral-Neutral


Neutral-Chaos


Dark-Law


Dark-Neutral


Dark-Chaos


(from Megami Tensei wiki : http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Alignment)
And the system will affect the game process and ending.

Any existing or similar plugin can do this?


I know I can set some variables to store these attributes, but any idea how to draw the graph in the game?


Thanks for help.

You only need 2 variables:


Law/Chaos, with law being > x, Neutral being <=x and > y, and chaos being <= z. The same for the Light/Dark variable.


If there are room for actions modifying each axis, you can do with ranges (for example):


Law is >25


Neutral is 25 to -25


Chaos is <-25


Off course you don't need to use negative numbers.


Hope you can understand, English is not my mother language too.

OK, that is it.


But how can I draw a graph like:

in the game, and this interface can be opened in party menu.

May be I can just use this background and the indicator picture, but I just don't know how to deal with scripts.
