Good/Evil bar.

[Leon 55]

This is a Leon original, a good/evil script. You can use it to your advantage in many ways.

 

Using $game_party.actors[x].alignment += y (x being the actor's position in the party: 0 being 1st, 1 being 2nd, etc) you can add y to the actor's alignment number (100 being good.) and use - instead of + to subtract from the alignment number (-100 being full evil)

 

Using a conditional branch, and the command:

$game_party.actors[x].alignment > x

you can set x to 0 (or higher) for the actor to be that much good and have the event execute, or do the opposite for evil (using a negative number)

 

It may seem complex, but it is quite a nice addition ot the game. Please, give me credit for this script. Further, here are screenshots of the bars:

 

 

 

 

 

 

#===================================
#  Leon's Good and Evil script
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
#  Features:
#	Gives an actor the "good", "Neutral" or "evil" alignment, based
#	upon their actions.
#
#  Instructions:
#	Place above main, and below other scripts.
#	Use:  draw_alignment_bar(actor, x, y) in a script to draw the alignment bar.
#	Use: $game_party.actors[0].alignment  to update it immediately, if needed, in call_script
#			 x and y being the position of the bar, and actor being the syntax for the actor's information.
#
#  Extra Information:
#	This script edits the original Window_Status script to add the good/evil.

Rep script, nice. -claps- looks good...If I knew a use for it, i'd use it ^^ But my game currently does not have a use for it right now...plus I'd have to go edit my menu script, cause I don't use the DMS...I use a CMS.

[Leon 55]

What makes this right here so great is with 1 command, you can put the bar anywhere you want in any window. Further, it's use is hidden to most, hence why i am preparing a demo showing how to use it.

Cool...I, sadly, still have no use for it, but if I ever got one, I'd use it and credit you and all that stuff ^^

Very user-friendly, right Leon. This is a really useful script, I think I will use it in my up-coming game, that i am yet to start. But I will soon.

[Leon 55]

I, too, plan on using this in an upcoming game, along with a couple other recent scripts i've written. I just have to stick with my current project. I've put 5 months of work into it, I'm not letting it go that easy.

[sloth 0]

it's interesting but.... shouldn't it be more flexible, as in "changing, depending on how you play the character" ?

 

for example, give certain answers to NPCs or kill certain monsters / leave certain monsters alone or so..?

[Leon 55]

You can do that yourself using the commands. It would be near-impossible to script it how you ask and let everyone use it in the same fashion. Personal preferences tend to differ.
