This thread is designated for everyone who has ideas, commands, or anything else that you think would benefit or make more simple the whole plotscripting process.
Have at it!

like...?
i dunno, scripting own battle system with an easier interface sounds good to me... rather than adding and readding walkabout pictures, then scripting it into the actual battle system.

I agree with flamer, scripting battle system with easier interface would be nice though.

I really want to be able to have an inventory command like:
| Code: |
if(keyispressed(KEY:i)) then (inventory)
end
|
it would be very useful for games that really don't need the current menu. |

Y'know, there are quite a few "set" commands that could use corresponding "get" commands. Let's see:
| Code: | hero frame (who) #return hero's walking frame
NPC frame (who) #return NPC's walking frame
hero speed (who) #return hero's walking speed
current money #return party's total money
current song #return song that's playing (I don't know if song ID's can be in variables)
get tileset #return currently used tileset |
I can also think of a few others that are unrelated to reading:
| Code: | get experience (who,value) #increases a hero's experience points
level up (who,levels) #increases hero's experience just enough to gain specified amount of levels
#those two commands might take some more editable text strings to appear for out-of-battle level ups
lose experience (who,value) #decreases a hero's experience points (can't make them lose levels, just makes next level harder to reach) |

More npc checkability:
npc speed(who)
npc picture(who)
npc walkmode(who)
Come on! We can alter them, so why can't we check them? |

I like the "i" for inventory idea... it could really make a game more professional.
Also like was mentioned earlier, be able to program inside battles. So you can make things, acording to attacks and such, happen on the screen.
I wonder if you can make it able to import tiles from other tilesets onto a map? Is it already possible? That would be nice for a few things.

Though there is a way to do this, I'd rather have an easier way.
"stop npc (#)"
Stops an npc in his/her tracks.
"stop hero (#)"
Likewise except for heroes.

Hahahaha. Welcome to the year 2000, buddy.
They were talking about custom battle system work.
And I still want in-battle variables.  But that's not necesarily plotscripting. |

yeah, and i've made half of my custom-battle system...
i just need to get some time off university to reorganise and rescript my entire engine for it to be complete. (it's too messy the way it is)

You have to swap in the whole maptileset. You can't just change a tile or two, and I can guarrentee that using more than 256 will never happen : (
But I really would like to see a plotscripting command for each of the sub-menus in the main menu. That would be the nicest thing James could do (hopefully) quickly : P

I'm well aware that this will never happen, but commands that alter the actual *.rpg file rather than the save file would have been wonderful.
Yet again, I know this won't happen so I hope noone posts with a whole page of WHY it isn't possible without a lot of work.

Actually, I'm interested to know why you think that would be handy. Wouldn't everyone having a different version of your RPG file be a bad thing?
