[REQ] DHD script + Stargate script. Moderately complex.

[Toffee]

Here is the link to my project thread.

While I'm getting the database done (not RMXP, but list of all addresses in the series). I'm also going to work on the scripts/gather scripts.

Unfortunatly I have a limited knowlage of Ruby, so I was wondering if anyone would help me with this script.

Obviously, one of the first things I will need is a DHD script.

Spoiler: Crappy screenie of what I want the window to be

A window like that could pop up (With better graphics obviously) and you click on each "Chevron" (storing the chevron in a variable) using a mouse input script.

Once all 7 (with the possibility of 8 + 9, with a switch on) chevrons are encoded, you press the big red button in the middle

That would store all the chevrons in an array (I think that's the correct term).

Then the stargate script would have to check to see if the array is == to one stored earlier. If so, it would activate an in-game switch (which would turn the Stargate activated event on). if not, then play some strange "fail" sound and don't activate the script.

When you step through the stargate, it would check to see which array it is equal to, then transport the player to that map, (most of that bit i think can be done with events).

Obviously little things have to be added, such as a few different "looks" for the DHD. Remote dialers. An Iris, + the fact that stargates deactivate after a certain time (make it 3 minutes instead of 38).

i think i can a little help you.
but i have questions:
1. if the order impotant
2. the buttons should be save in the array by name or by id?
3. adress with 7 can also be aktivated if 8+9 is bee aktivated?
4. i see what i can do with the add-ons.

 

[Toffee]

1.The order is important =]

2. In an array (yay, i got it right ^_^)
It'd be something like this @stargate_address = [Stagittarious, Pisces, blah, blahblah, blahblahblah, something, something_else]

3. If you inputted 8 or 9 things into the array. The stargate would only work if you had an external power supply (aka: if $extra_power == true)

4. Thanks for helping with the addons! Spriting the DHD and Other Dialing things (such as the Puddle jumper one and a computer ect) is quite important.

 

[hanmac]

1. ok.
2. i make Array of names
3. i mean if you also can put 7 when you have $extra_power
4. if you have the other stuff i think is ths not the problem

5. im to bad to make the full script. i can only make parts.
but i have ideas for interesting effects

 

[Toffee]

1. 2. cool1
3. yeah you can also dial 7. and it deosn't use Extra power.
4. Is cool!
5. I understand that! I can't do it myself!

 

[hanmac]

how many conections at the same time ate possiple?
zb:

A -> B
C -> D
at the same time

 

[Toffee]

Only one would be needed going from where you are, to where you want to go.

 

[Toffee]

Bumpity bump bump =]

 

[hanmac]

i build at this.

PS: as add-on: you can make that the 7th Chevron musst be the name of the gate. (is this great?)

 

[Toffee]

Sort of, just call it "Point of Origin"

 

[hanmac]

ok.
i can also make that a gate has spezific Chevrons.
so you cant go everywere^^

 

[Toffee]

well every gate has to have it's own address

 

[hanmac]

i mean you have the gates A, B, C, D and E
DHD A have only the Chevrons for the gates B and C not for D and E
so you must trevel with a outher to D and E

 

[Toffee]

That's ok. as long as I can configure it

i have already made this with 8 symbols were you can dail 7 of them

with events
