Farming?

[Kwah]

The map is like this. You are a farmer. When the game starts you get an item which lets you build a farmhouse. You must the plant plants (lol) to gain food. With food you get sheep who eat plants. You must compete against opponent farmers in a race for prestige. The goal is to be the last farm standing.

Abilities (so far):

-Plant - Plants a different type of plant depending on targeted terrain.
-Dig - Resets terrain to dirt.
-Grow - Grows to next level of flora (short grass,grass,crops. . .)
-Torch - Provides sight range
-Rustle - Rustles sheep (captures them)
-Build fence - Build a fence (horiszontal and vertical)


Some triggers from this map include:

• Plant
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Plant
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Terrain type at (Target point of ability being cast)) Equal to Village - Crops
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempPoint1 = (Target point of ability being cast)

        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Terrain type at (Target point of ability being cast)) Equal to Village - Thick Grass
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempPoint1 = (Target point of ability being cast)

                        • Game - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Triggering unit)))) the text: You can't plant the...

Feed back and suggestions would be appreciated.

You shouldn't do that with your if functions.

Do this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• (Terrain type at (Target point of ability being cast)) Equal to Village - Crops
• Then - Actions
• Set TempPoint1 = (Target point of ability being cast)
• Unit - Create 1 Wheat for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint1 facing Default building facing degrees
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)
• Else - Actions
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
• If - Conditions
• (Terrain type at (Target point of ability being cast)) Equal to Village - Thick Grass
• Then - Actions
• Set TempPoint1 = (Target point of ability being cast)
• Unit - Create 1 Shrub for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint1 facing Default building facing degrees
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint1)
• Else - Actions

Or, better yet, use arrays and a formula.

Ok. Cool. Thanks for the help.

 

[emperor_d3st]

Haha, I'm a sucker for these kind of games. I hope it gets finished and it will be cool.
Post some screenies.

 

[HorizonTal]

I wouldn't base it all on farming.
This could be a very nice resources-gathering system for a bigger RTS

 

[Goldentiger]

LOL just like harvest moon i love that game

 

[SilverSong]

Hawk?

Would you like to work with me on Time Management?

I was going to give each player a field and have them plant things like trees and crops within that region which would produce goods for them to sell.

 

[Kwah]

Hmmm, it could be interesting.

I'm in.

Send me more details.

Soon there will be screenies.

Hurrah! Screenies!

These are not of real gameplay as map is not done yet. One is of the very first terrain.

 

[emperor_d3st]

I think it looks interesting. We'll see.

 

[Kwah]

I hope so. Will upload what I have so far to this post. It is nowhere near done and I'm just going to trust all of you people.

 

[Invert]

Its a great concept hawk although I dont understand the objective. Do we just compete to farm more. And if so is it along the lines of whoever builds faster/more wins? (What kind of strategy etc.. is involved) Other then that I would enjoy the map

 

[Kwah]

As is said the map is not done yet.

Presently there is no victory conditions.

I think I will make it so the goal is to buy out your opponent but suggestions are welcome. Another possibilty is to kill the opposing farmers.

 

[Formula1]

I like the idea...
I'm a bit scared it wont be too fun though.....
I think a decent goal is to just have the land as is and having the sheep as your attacking units...
Building things and planting things are all just a part of the defense/growth mechanism....

 

[Kwah]

Good idea. That was one of my original ideas but I discarded it in an attempt to find something more unique.

I thnk it will work though.

 

[Obadiah332]

sounds like a fun idea for a map btw u might add a few randoms that makes it more interesting (snow or bears or somthing )

 

[Kwah]

That sounds like a good idea.

I was thinking about adding "Seasons"

 

[Alakon]

By anychance have you played an RPG made by countryboy? I dled it the other day and the farming profession was virtually the same trigger.

Guess lots of people probably had the same thought though.

 

[PurplePoot]

Void, having the other ifs in the previous elses is less inefficient than having them outside.

 

[Kwah]

Hurrah! I did something right!

I figured that it was more efficient because if it is the first If/Then/Else's then the function can stop running.
# Alkalon:

No i Have not played that game.


This was originally inspired my a Requiest form Hive User "Troubled Farmer" and I took away with it. This project is on hold pretty much permanatly so If any one wants to develop it further I can send them the map.

 

[skullzilla]

I like this idea! Although the victory condition is going to take some thought

 

[Kwah]

Indeed. I have stopped this project. You want to take over?

 

[Huurka]

Upload it, sounds very interesting.

 

[Kwah]

. . . it is not done. I'll upload what I made, but it is 100% non-functional.

I believe that this is the right version. Not sure.
