Moonpearl's Pathfinder

Recommended Posts

After running around dozens of maps for hours and hours trying to find the place I was supposed to go to, and of which location the game designers assumed was completely obvious, I had enough and said to myself "Instead of giving those damned NPCs such lame, useless quotes, why couldn't they have them simply GIVE DIRECTIONS?". So I sat at my desk and a few hours later I'd done it (which proves how easy a feature it is to implement). And today I'm sharing it with you, so that I don't spend hours looking everywhere when playing your own projects. smile.png

 

 

Purpose

Allow the player to ask for directions with no other effort than copying the script to your project.

 

 

Main features

  • Just name the events connecting your maps as "Exit", and the script automatically searches for those connections.
  • The pathfinder always returns the shortest way to go from one map to another.
  • It is possible to ask for directions from a different map than the one you're in.
  • Use along with the Keywords System to make asking for a destination even easier.

Known issues

None as far as I'm concerned.
