request

[kaboth 6]

I want to simply request a script as follows; I was wanting a script for both makers to make a enemy appear at random on any map, like a certain time frame where one (NPC) will pop up in a map and try to get you, then you can hide and he searches for you if not found he will not attack, but if so found he will, but if you stay hidden for a certain amount of time he will go outside the map until you come across another sequence; for example remember Amnesia Dark Decent when that monster appeared at random and you have to hide and he left when not found but if you are found he will kill you, any help will be appreciated thank you; p.s this would be awsome for a horror game :b

Do you realize that your entire first post is one sentence? xD

 

My point being, you should have a more concise point if you are going to be requesting a script. I don't really understand what you want.

Short and simple sentences are what you want.

 

Also, a good idea is to use images to aid in the process of requesting. ; )

 

I'm sure someone will be able to help!

Okay, like kiri said: You haven't given much details on what exactly you want this to do. Also, not everyone has played amnesia. I do KNOW about the game (my friend has it, and has said nothing but good things about it), however, I have never played the game...and have no idea what monster you are talking about.

 

But, I think I have an idea of what you want:

 

Basically, you want a script that will randomly decide to put an event on the map that you are in.

Then you want the monster to look for the player, but hiding will cause it to go away?

 

First off, this would actually be easier to event, than script. It is much easier to create path finding/etc. through event commands.

 

Next how do you actually want the monster to look for the player? Does it just go after the player straight away? Does it wander randomly, and once in range chase after the player? Does it have a line of sight or scent or hearing?

How does hiding work? Like go to next map? get far away enough? Hide in a hole? Hide behind a wall?

 

So essentially, you are asking someone to create an AI system for you. Now, while AI doesn't have to be complex, it can be EXTREMELY complex at the same time. If it is a simple chase and run AI...simple. If the AI needs to actually "look" for the player, where the player can hide behind walls, etc. it can get quite complex...especially with RMXP's default systems.

 

Now, maybe if you explain exactly how this AI is supposed to "think" I might be able to help explain the concepts to you (mind you, I do not mean to say I am even an expert in AI, as I have only worked with simple AI before), but overall, I doubt anyone is really willing to create an AI system for you (or anyone else for that matter)...BUT that isn't to say you can't do it yourself.

 

If you thoroughly understand loops, conditional statements, and RMXP variables (all available through eventing); you could probably event it yourself, once introduced to the concepts.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I am using a mobile phone and I can't type so much. Anyway the monster has sight

and smell; about 5 squares, and like some repellent, the hiding will keep you from smelling you.

I may have what you need after reading what kellessdee said. http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=43277

Wow, I never even made the connection between a stealth system and this xD I feel dumb. I would've known there were existing scripts if I thought stealth.

 

Good find too :)

lol, I thought that was you and him was talking about which is why I went and got that script. :sweatdrop:

 

I had Night_Runner translate it from VX last year, but I haven't gotten around to making a good demo, since we were still translating it. But hopefully its what he was looking for.

[kellessdee 48]

well that was exactly what (i think) we were talking about, it just never occurred to me that the script may indeed already exist lol

 

I have heard of stealth scripts, I just never realized that we were essentially talking about a stealth script haha
