To tell the truth, Your Weapon and My Weapon are actually your own custom weapons(you can name them anything you like)
Now for the no hacking system for quests.
Make 10 variables. One for each player.
Name them NoHackers. They should be integer. The value should be 0.
Make 10 triggers all alike like this.
Add those to the quests.
It should look like this

Get a item quest
- Events
  - Unit - A unit enters Startpoint <gen>
- Conditions
  - Or - Conditions
    - And - Conditions
      - NoHackers Equal to 0
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    - And - Conditions
      - NoHackers2 Equal to 0
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
- Actions
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditons
      - (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 1 (Red)
    - Then - Actions
      - Set NoHackers = NoHackers + 1
    - Else - Actions

        Then - Actions
        
        Set NoHackers2 = NoHackers + 1
        
        Else - Actions

  - Player - Add 100 to (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Current gold
  - Quest - Mark (Last created quest) as Completed

The players should be 1-10.
That's all! Happy Mapmaking!

This doesn't really look like a tutorial; it looks more like a walkthrough on how to make a generic ORPG.

Also you're global ignored. Post in admin contact. ;P

Pyritie · Jul 9, 2009

Well, I think it'd be better if you listed the things that good ORPGs have, how to make those things (link to other tutorials if you want), and what you should do to make it interesting and so on. If someone followed this tutorial the result should be very open-ended -- a tutorial is meant to be a guide, not a recipe.

I'll graveyard this for now. Send me a visitor message if you get around to fixing this up. (Don't send me a PM; I can't see them because you're GI'd)

jordon · Jul 16, 2009

Can you send me a PM message instead of sending me through this tutorial? You are just helping me screw this thing up
