Rotghroth Rhapsody Sticky Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Question? Would it be possible w/o major amounts of scripting to create two parallel worlds that could be transfered between at will to the coresponding location to the location the party was at in the first world? Sorry if my question is unclear, the idea is slightly unformed at the time. If understandable how would it be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Uh, kind of. You could give them a special ability or an item that would call a script that would run a move_to_new_town that would take them to the parallel town. A similar thing could be done outdoors using, er, out_move_party, which unfortunately appears only to be able to take the party within the same outdoor section, not to a new one. To make the parallel town, you could even import the old town in the editor and make whatever changes you needed. The difficult part would come if you wanted to make changes in one parallel universe affect the other universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 It's most definitely possible- something along the magic mirror used in Zelda 2, I'm assuming? Just have it store each party member's locations as SDFs, and check which town the party is in to send them to the "alternate" one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Fort Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Thinking about importing the items into the new town? FORGET ABOUT IT! Thinking about [easily] moving the monsters back and forth between towns? FORGET ABOUT IT! Other than that, BoA's system actually allows a little flexibility in this respect. Say that the universes are fundamentally separate though things that happen in one can influence the other one. That way, the walls can be the same, but items and monsters can be different.

Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Items can't be done, but monsters can. Have different versions of each monster, record them with four SDFs for each- life, x loc, y loc, health. Not sure why you'd WANT to, but it *is* your prerogative... (Actually, though, that'd be interesting- one side could be friendly characters who help you out or are innocents, and if you kill their counterparts, they die off. Lots of potential there.)
