Spell – rune order

Another side note:
Clicking "Select all" above the code sample should select the entire code, but it takes me to the beginning of the thread instead.

Not that I'm aware.
The problem still occurs when I start FF with all add-ons disabled.

It does the same for me in Firefox. My guess is that it's because of the SID parameter in the Firefox version of the page; the URL parameter (a session id?) ends in a hash sign, which works with anchor tags to allow links to specific sections of a page. The link URL is actually different for Firefox, than for Opera.

It works great!
The panel is perfectly responsive.
I'm still trying to understand the code, though.

Next version will add more doku

BTW – can someone show me how I can put this in an external file and call it from the internal one? I want this…

Code: Select all

function showPanel()
   party.party:addConnector('onDrawGui', self.go.id, -#???#- )
end

function hidePanel()
   party.party:removeConnector('onDrawGui', self.go.id, -#???#- )
end

…inside the internal file and everything else in an external so one can just add my stuff where it is appropriate. But all my tries give me strange errors that I dont understand.

Make your external file, and on the map place a script_entity for your external code. (With the script_entity selected) In the editor's property inspector change the setting for the script source from embedded to external. Call it as you would any other script_entity.

*Note: Scripts in objects reside in the object's script component; so to call myFunction in 'my_object', you include the script component:
my_object.script:myFunction()

**If you disable a level in the editor, its scripts do not load.

This is fantastic .rhavin!
I had shelved the idea of implementing a ultima underworld-ish type rune system for spell casting as my skills arent up to the task atm with Gui stuff...
So thank you for sharing your work on this system!
Tested the demo and things look great...
Im guessing your plan is to place the rune panels over the champion's attack panel (and implement a 'Cast' button) ?

Its almost tempting to make players collect the Rune stones to place in their Runestone collection (bag ) ... but probably not worth the hassle!

Look forward to updates

Have you played Arx Fatalis? (That is exactly what they did.)

Well, let me surprise you what the next version already can do once I figured out how to effectively control the mouse. The current method to get the mouse position in the editor is a ridiculous complicated hack. Im currently trying to put all those nasty workarounds in one part of my script so i can easily unfuck them once Petri read my bugreport and hopefully has some spiced wine

but probably not worth the hassle!

First having to unlock the runes is already a configurable feature
