I used the search function and couldn't find anything that resembles what I'm looking for. I'm not asking someone to make it for me, but rather asking how I would go about doing it myself.
I'd like to create a pet system where the pet gains experience, learns skills, and grows. I'm pretty certain I can accomplish that by way of making the pet a party member, but I'd also like to add in the need to feed the pet and a way for the pet to act as more than just a party member. I'd like there to be a way for the pet to gather items for the player, as well as have their own inventory space, and a few other bits an pieces.
I could probably do this all with events, but I know that too many events can cause a great deal of slowdown during play. So I'm looking to script it, but I'm still learning Ruby and have no idea where to begin with something like this.
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance to any who post suggestions. = )
Also, if this is in the wrong section of the forums, please let me know where it should go.
