Alignment system

jet10985 · Jan 12, 2010

Introduction

This script adds a simple and easy-to-use alignment system to your game. This will allow the charcter to be good, evil, or anything in-between. You can even change it up from alignment to other stuff like Rank or Vampirism.

Features

- Adds Alignment
- Easy to add/subtract points
- Easy to make new alignment names
- Adds alignment name in status menu
- You can add tags to equipment/skills to require a certain alignment condition

Screenshots

How To Use

The alignment name and value match to the corresponding one in the other array.

EX: In the default, "Very Evil" is the first name, and -100 is the first condition

This means, if -100 or lower is the value of $game_system.alignment, the
character will be "Very Evil".
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to change alignment: We have 2 command to change alignment points.

sub_alignment(points) and add_alignment(points)

In both commands, replace "points" with the amount of change you want in the
character's alignment points.

sub_alignment will subtract the amount of points.
add_alignment will add the amount of points

Tagging equipment and skills:

To tag these in the database to require a certain amount of alignment points,
add the tag

<alignment ##>

where ## is the number of points required. make sure you keep
the <> because that's actually required.

FAQ

Q: How do I add or subtract points?
A: Read the Instructions!

Q: How do I add more alignment names?
A: Add the name, in quotes, where you want to. Then add the points requirement in the same place, but in the other array.
EX:

Code:

ALIGNMENT_NAMES = ["Very Evil", "Kinda Evil", "evil", "neutral", "good", "very good"]

I added "Kinda Evil" between "very evil" and "evil". Now I must add the requirement.

Code:

ALIGNMENT_CONDITION = [-100, -75, -50, 0, 50, 100]

See how i added -75 between the requirement for "very evil" and "evil" just like i put "kinda evil"? Thats how.
