Mod system help D:

[superavarice 0]

SO, I finally decided to bite the bullet and make an account after quite awhile of just lurking on the RMXP scene because I am royally screwed.

 

See what I want to intergrate into my RPG is a mod system, pretty much like the Djiin system in the Golden sun game.

each charectar can equip up to 4 mods that gives them some stat boosts and the use of a skill unique to that particular mod (something I can do easily with some scripting/eventing).

 

My problem is making a completely new menu screen (I guess something like the equipment menu) with 4 slots for each charectar and being able to see what skills each mod gives and how they effect the players stats :/ any ideas how I could go about this?

Do you mean like passive skills, or temp stat increases?

The mods would give both a temp stat increase and a action skill.

 

For example one mod called Spartan gives the player a 20% health increase and also give the charectar who has it equipped a temp skill that they can use only if they have the mod equipped (like the equipment skill scripts that give you the abillity to use fire only when you have that certain sword equipped).

So, essentially, a menu where you have, at the top, your info bar, on the left, 4 slots (and maybe even an 'exit' option), below that, a window that will appear for all the mods available, including a 'remove' option, to the left, a window that will show all changes that will be made, positive ones green, and negative ones red? Is that about the gist of it?

Exactly that, but with some option to change between the different charectars. I mean, I Guess in time I could learn to do the window making and button making myself. But I have no idea how I could change the stats of charectars and stuff like that :/

How do you mean when you mean change between characters?

Pretty much exactly how you use Equip. e.g choosing the charectar from a list before you start equipping.
