Idea about portals !!!!!!!!
« on: September 27, 2010, 09:36:47 am »
Hi aero!

Congrats for your new website. I am ready to give you some help once again for the campaign. By the way thanks for putting the hints I came up with in the new version I really appreciate.

About the portals, I would like to see them in every map. In the second map they're very helpful and it would be fun to put as many in each big map.

Also it would be fun to have a guardian for each portal just so the player has a feeling he earned his transport.

Thanks I'm happy to be back with you guyz.

Yes, actually I have been thinking the same thing. The portals in chapter 2 are also made very quick this time instead of stupid ?ber special effects. I'm planning to add portals to chapter 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10.

Thanks a lot!

I've been having a little idea but I'm not sure if it is hard to program so just tell me.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to use potions on heroes even if the potions are stored in boxes. I find it hard to switch between the heroes weapons/recipies and his potions with the small inventory.

Thanks

That portal animation is really a pain in the ass. Same goes for boat travel in chapter 2...

A portal guardian is really a great idea !
I usually don't hang in chat, so if you want, for some weird reason, communicate with me, send me a pm :)

My favorite character is
Phodom, Fradz is insane. And... Galeoth

I don't know how to do that potion system. There could be a system that for example if you press ESC, arrow keys or for example "Fake Hero"(which is at left-up corner a potion is consumed. The potion will be random from Boxes' inventory. There could be other activation styles, you tell me.

Why not make a potion counter at the top of the screen just next to the player stats and add up the potions the player buys and picks up up there. So it is less inventory room just like the combat kings, when there is a little animation to the hero.

Then you could assign a hot key to small health, small mana, small restoration, medium....... and as many as you want( like QWERTYUIOP^? cuz there are 12 kinds of potions i think).

But I agree it might be alot of programing and if() else() for()..... so don't worry too much about it if you are short on time. ;)

I could do this system. but I need easy as possible "key" or "way to drink these potions" or otherwise it's not meaningful to make a system like this.

Possibilities that comes in my mind right now are...

- A dummy hero that player will see at top-left corner next to characters. When player clicks it it has some opinions like Drink Health for Phodom or Drink Mana for Phodom.
- When playing ESC something happens...
- Automatic, but that's a bit easy.

Hmm...

could you make it another slot in the special ability place that you could put a "drink potion" ability that would trigger the consumption of a potion. you could have variables to control how many potions you have. i think this could work if you found a way to show how many potions you had.

it could be a menu of potion drink options that you could access from the same menu u access the alchemy, combat kings, and that stuff.

That doesn't make potion using any easier and faster.  :(

Bag saving is always good, but I think that won't help. We need quickness with this matter!

There could be the fourth hero...

it could be a hero called like potion master that would cast the potions that would heal the main hero.... but it would be tough to make it work with multiple targets and types of potions. there are lots of different backpack enlarging things that people have made it you want to use a modified version for like a potion pack or something.

Here's an idea:

Fourth hero, with at least these abilities:

Potions: Phodom + Fradz + Galeoth (totally of 6 abilities)

1) Drink Health Potion For Phodom - Drinks a health potion, starting from lower ranked potions to high ranked ones. If the drinker doesn't have health potions, can use restoration potions(heals both health and mana)
2) Drink Mana Potion For Phodom - Drinks a mana potion, starting from lower ranked potions to high ranked ones. If the drinker doesn't have mana potions, can use restoration potions(heals both health and mana)
