Character Selection Dialog!

[BlackNerubia]

Heres a RPG Dialog system i made that lets you Setup a diffrent way of selecting Characters, everything you will need to edit is in the first trigger and in the comments box at the top ive listed the files that need to be edited and copyed

Welcome Menu

Character Select Menu

P.S. Leave Feedback please!

Very helpfull, but it's not really working >.<

 

[BlackNerubia]

it has a wait 10 Seconds at the start, sort of a lag saftey i put in for low connection players, to change it you just need to change the

Welcome Menu Run Event to whatever you want.

 

[Deathell]

Still doesnt work

I think it's because 2/5 of the triggers are half red (like, half of the paper icon is red)

It worked for me.
Looks good, but the text that explains the heroes doesn't look right.
Try chopping the lines off a little, so they won't be so long.

With some work this can become a nice way to start your map.

A very shallow point of view (I haven't dled the map):

Cons:
It looks like each player needs a hero selection region.
Dialogs are clumsy, ugly and troublesome to work with.

Pros:
It seems like you system has the possibility for loading a existing hero.
Even though it's done with dialogs, the hero creation dialog gives a good overview of the hero.

Hmm, it sounds like the variables are missing, if you copyed it to another map you have to get all the variables otherwise it wont load properly

As for the text, i just used a quick Copy Paste of the 2 heros from the tooltips as a way to demo what people can do, i tried to make it as easy as i could for people to use

Just a quick note, as for the hero region its a option for players to see the unit as a demo, if someone doesnt like it, its easly removed and the nice thing about the dialogs is that i built them so the player just edits or adds in the info, they dont have to mess with the dialogs at all, i made a handy thing that you just change the

Set Charactername to Your hero name etc, in the first trigger and it does the rest for you


Double Edit: I forgot to mention i havent Added in a loading Code YET, i made it so that the option was there so it could easly be added for players

 

[Deathell]

How do I get the variables? (I'm sorry, I'm a noob at triggers )

 

[Tom Jones]

Two ways, one is easy the other is educational:
1, the easy way: In the main editor window, select preferences in the File Menu. Tag the option name: "Automatically create unkown varaibles when pasting trigger".

2, the educational way: In the trigger editor of BlackNerubias map, press crtl.b. This is the variable editor, and now simply copy paste these variables to your own maps variable editor.

 

[Deathell]

I already have that checked...

 

[BlackNerubia]

What Exactly are you trying to do death, copy it to another map?

 

[Deathell]

Yep.

Idea is 10/10, but the aesthetics aren't as good. I realize you can only do so much with dialogs, so maybe you should make a multiboard menu (travel through a list of people with arrow keys and stuff). That would be neat Also multiboards enable the possibility of having the hero icons, and better centered text, overall they are a lot better.

Now, when you click 'Load Existing Character,' does it load a character based on your account name? Or do you have to enter a code? (I don't have time to check it out.)

The system is a fantastic idea and with some work I think I will use this in my RPG im working on. I've wanted a new way to load/pick heroes, something that helps make it unique and look better. +rep, the text, like what everyone else says, needs some work, but with the text better and a load system added to it, it is something that would be very useful. Good job . Did you come up with this by yourself?



EDIT:

How do get this system into my map? There is no download link or attachment or anything. How did you guys get it?

 

[Deathell]

There was a link when I got it, lol.

 

[Steel]

System reminds me of one Magos made a while back. His system allowed players to use the arrow keys to move from hero to hero.

>Did you come up with this by yourself?
Yes i did, i was actualy planning to use it for a Rpg of my own, but as usual my projects all fall apart lol, im not great at finishing a rpg i start but i end up creating one strange system or another, i know that if i got all the systems together id praticly make 1.

>The text, like what everyone else says, needs some work
yeah, ive been working on a smart trigger to autoformat the strings so they line up on their own but i cant seem to get it right.

>There was a link when I got it, lol.
Oh Yeah, sorry about the link i did a few minor changes and uploaded a little cleaner setup on the first trigger

I thought about the Arrows, but i thought it would be a better idea to use Hotkeys and allow players to use the arrows if they wish for a movement system instead
