Complicated Experimental Stealth RPG (assistance requested)

[doctorscraps]

I've taken up the reigns of a puzzle-stealth RPG as a sort of experiment for a friend...And a little more professional input would be appreciated as, it seems no matter what I do, the program fights me...
The chief game mechanic revolves around incapacitating guards with rope, chain, whatevers handy, without alerting the other guards. With that aspect in mind, what do you think would work?

Explain your pre-project more detailed.

What you will do???

Do you mean to ask is it possible or tips for creation of such a system? It is possible but in my mind it would take a hell of a lot of work. You'll most definitely need some sort of distance algorithm between events. Like a radius attached to events that are "guards". When other guards are within the radius they are alerted if he falls. Distance formula for two points:

dist = sqrt( ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) )

You can then use that information to determine the distance between two events compare radii and do work based on the outcome. Also if the number of events is quite large comparing distances between events might be time consuming. So you might want to look into some anti-lag scripting or come up with your own way of eliminating unnecessary work. Most likely though someone else has already done this.

Good luck with it doctorscraps! :thumb:
