Tycoon Script request

[Vazoh]

Hello, this is quite a complicated script, but it would be great it you would link me to it or make it...

I need this for my anthill tycoon game, here is a list of what I need:

• After a period of time, the "food" level drops by the amount of ants in the hill. If there is not enough food the ants that didn't get food will die.
• Room system. You buy a Room maker, for example Food Storage Room, and you equip it inside the tunnel, and press Enter on an empty part of tunnel, then it makes it into a Food Storage square.
• Storage Limit. If the food storage rooms are full, you can't get any more food.
• Worker system. if there is food at the top of the anthill the workers will go and get it. and if there is a hostile ant up there the army ants will kill it.
• Above ground system. When you leave the anthill, you are teleported to the top of the anthill. When you go back into the anthill the tunnels still work.
• HUD. Shows AE(ant economy), Ant Health, Food in storage, Recourses in storage, Money in storage, and Colony balance(shows how good the colony is)
• Transform system. If you push enter on another ant and select control you control that ant.
• Random events up the top of the anthill. For example a humand might stomp on the hill destroying some of the tunnels, or a beetle might appear and you workers will go kill it.
• Ally/Enemy system

If someone made this script it would be helping many people. It would be a great script.

Thanks,
Vazoh

Ok check this out :tongue: that's not just 1 script but alot. Alot of that can be done by events/common events. As for huds here's what you can do...

You can use this script.

Spoiler: Hud

You'll need 1 variable, and 2 pictures in the Picture folder.
I use this hud script for my hunger system but it can be used for anything that uses a variable. 1picture is used as the bar base and the 2nd picture will be drawn in to proportion of the variable between 0-100.

  def initialize
    super(138, 0, 96, 64)

is where you change the location and size of the hud.

class Hunger_Hud < Window_Base

changing 'Hunger_Hud' to whatever you want the hud to be for (i.e. AE_Hud) lets you have multiple huds. SO that solves your hud request.

Above ground system. When you leave the anthill, you are teleported to the top of the anthill. When you go back into the anthill the tunnels still work.

No script needed here, just use the normal 'Transfer Player..." option on the 2nd page of the event command window.

Ally/Enemy system

Variables are your friend, along with common events.
Simply set up a variable for each 'enemy' or 'ally' you have and have a parallel common event running to watch over these variables. When ever you help or hinder an ally or enemy it either adds or subtracts from their variable. You can set up their events with different event pages so that when their variable is at so much of a value it changes how they act.

Example: at level 10-20 for an ally ant they come towards you. BUT if it's 0-9 they run from you.

Pretty much anywhere you want a random event to happen or you want a room to have a set limit to hold you'll used conditional branches and variables. Such as when you have a room that holds 25 food units every time your ant adds a food unit to the room event it adds 1 to the rooms variable. A conditional branch in the event will check if the variable is greater then or equal to 25. If it's less it'll allow the addition to the variable. If it's more it'll tell you the room is full.

As far as...

Worker system. if there is food at the top of the anthill the workers will go and get it. and if there is a hostile ant up there the army ants will kill it.

goes you might want to take a look at Mr. Mo's ABS.

After a period of time, the "food" level drops by the amount of ants in the hill. If there is not enough food the ants that didn't get food will die.

You guessed it, a variable. When a new ant is made it subtracts 1 from the food variable. When the food variable is 0 you can't make any more. Also might want to set up the ants/events so they have random count down to take out a food variable. That way when some hit the count down time for taking out food and there isn't any their event is erased. Doing it randomly means that not all of the ants are erased when they hit their count down.

If you need any help with these Ideas drop me a pm. Good luck.

Wow thanks! This is all very confusing to me so could you please go to the trouble of making a demo for me? You are the only person who hasn't flamed me on recourse requests! Thanks!

 

[l0rdph0enix]

I'll toss one together. It'll just be something to look at and see the examples in action.

 

[l0rdph0enix]

Here's the demo with most if not all of the examples I spoke of. Play the demo to see it in action.

Thats great! Thanks!
