campaign maps for regions

[ninmaniak]

I'm new to the forum so hi everybody, I hope this forum will bring me a lot of help on the world editor because im planning to do an rpg with friends, but dont worry, i know the basics of using triggers cameras and other functions of the editor.

so I wanted to know if it was possible to make a rpg world so huge that it is made of multiple maps, one for each region, like a puzzle. And make a trigger when you get out of one side of the map, it transports you to the linking map, and you can then return back to the first one, just by loading different maps.

If you're referring to something along the lines of the TFT Bonus Campaign (Orcs) then yes, it is obviously possible. How is not a question I can answer, but I don't believe this is possible for a multiplayer map. However, I may be wrong.

Yeah ive been looking for that answer for a while, im wanting to make a linked rpg game but i think it would only work in single player

Im pretty sure it wouldnt be multiplayer compatible, but Im pretty sure the following is possible;

Events- a unit enters (your region)

Conditions- entering unit equal to (your unit)

Actions- load (next map) for (your player)

Oh, I'm not saying it isn't possible. As a matter of fact, I'm saying it IS possible, just look at the Bonus Campaign for TFT. They do it on all three levels. Each level has about 10 maps in it, linked. The problem with multiplayer is that you'd have to save every hero's level/abilities/items, and I think that's a bit much just for one person crossing into a region. Also, it's a little cheap that someone might be on the verge of completing a quest, then suddenly the load screen pops up because someone got bored and went to explore...It's just too complicated to do multiplayer wise. I'm sure there are other more complex reasons that my little mind does not comprehend, but that's my take on things.

yeah, i know it would be hard to do for multi, But thanks for the help, ill try that and send you news about it. ill also try to implement weapon attachements and switching. Also i have the trigger to move with arrows and third person camera. But i think it would be more single player, because i wanna make it deep with a main quest around the character, a lot like morrowind.
