Thanx Deadron We'll be happy to help...but we can't help until you've created a specification for how your parties will work. Once you can describe how parties will work in your game (like how you would describe them in the help page for players), then we can help on how to implement specifics. | |
Ok
but one thing when the join the party i want them to always be behind the usr i tried once the clik join it asks them if they want to join someone in oview() well i have it set if they say yah the usr.loc=locate(M.x,M.y+1,M.z) well i got a runitme error but it took me there and when the person move i well...sort of didnt but i am wroking on it right now so if you could show me a way that could be done or direct me to a lib that does that i would be very greatful Thanx | |
The way to solve things like this is to make a list (in code comments is often good) of exactly what you want to do.
For your game, what are the steps in creating a party and playing as a party?
You'll need to figure out things like:
- How do you want people to be able to invite other players?
- What happens when people play as a party? Do they share experience? Loot?
- How does someone leave a party?
Etc. Think of all the things you can about parties, then think about what that implies.
Do you need a party object that keeps track of who is in the party?
Maybe the party object will be owned by the person who started the party, and if he leaves the party object will move to someone else?
Will each player know their party because of a party variable they have?
Etc.
We can help with the details, but first you gotta go through this process.
