upgrading armor

[jruland]

2 questions:
1. say i wanted to upgrade an item like add +5 stats or something. example: i have a crown of kings in an RPG and i want to go to the smith to have it upgraded. is it possible to do this by adding something to the SAME item? (but not by swapping it for another item)

2. let's say i wanted to save said item. how would i go about doing this?

i can usually figure these things out but this one escapes me.

but if u talking about aading more stats its pretty ez man all u have to do.go to module editor and then choose abilities then go to the crown of knights there will say how much of int or str or agi u want.

I think he means that given any item. Let's say gloves of strength +1. You can take it to a black smith and have it upgraded to gloves of strength +2.

I am currently thinking of a system like that. I don't have it in code because most of my time goes to college.
This is a vague idea and I bet there are better systems:

1) Create 3 unit abilities (+str, +int, +agi) each
with 11 levels. Each level corresponds to the
bonus -1 (i.e. lv5 str ability gives +4 str) (this
is so that at level 1 you get +0 str,agi or int).

2) Create an invisible spellbook, give it to all
heros and then disable it for all heroes.

3) Each time a hero upgrades either int, str or agi
of the item,
increase the corresponding ability for the hero
(i.e set unit ability to level of current_ability +
1).

Of course I've left many things out. You have to use variables for this and it only works for one item per hero. i.e: A hero upgrades his sword then armor. He will lose the upgrades done to his sword.

I hope you can grasp the basic concept and then just run with it. Otherwise good luck with your search.
