Enemy Linking

[CJ darkanjel]

The basics:
When you run into an event you go into a battle. Easy enough with or without scripting.
BUT, before the battle starts there would be a short stall time in which another enemy event nearby may try to to collide with you, in order to add all enemies it (the second event) contains to the enemies you're already facing with first event. Preferably, the enemy moves with a good enough pathfinding find the straightest path to your character, but not good enough to move around other objects.

In effect, if you run into an enemy event, another enemy event may link itself to that battle, that provided terrain allows.

Just an Idea.

AH, something reminiscent of Final Fantasy XI

Never Played Final Fantasy XI. (I've read the manual though) So I don't know any of its specifics. Plus its online.

It is involved with the Aggro mechanic found in many MMOs.

I think someone might have made an Aggro-related script for RMXP... maybe it would have some leads.

 

[CJ darkanjel]

Aggro isn't strictly linking, so I may end up as a bust lead. Plus this is more likely to be offline/should be allowed offline so any rmxp online stuff is bust as well..

More like Earthbound I'm guessing...what a great game

Earthbound is a remarkably advanced game seeing how old it is. It has features that I wish modern games would have. Earthbound is probably the game with the closest collision system to this.
