How do you add first person fighting inside the game?

[question]

First person as you cannot see yourself and with choices such as attack, defend, etc.

[Aenakume]

i'm no expert, but if you mean turn-based first-person fighting (like paper-rock-scissors, except maybe parry-attack-defend), that's a snap.

Just give yourself and your opponent a stamina value:

Code: Select all

init python:
  my_stamina = 100
  their_stamina = 100

Then enter a loop:

Code: Select all

while not (my_stamina == 0 or their_stamina == 0):
  
  # Here you can show your opponent getting ready for the next round of fisticuffs
  # You can even use their_stamina to show them more or less injured
  
  # Make your move
  menu:
    "Attack":
      $ my_move = 1
    "Parry":
      $ my_move = 2
    "Defend":
      $ my_move = 3
  
  # They make theirs
  $ their_move = renpy.random.randint(1, 3)
  
  # Figure out the result of the round
  if my_move == 1 and their_move = 1:
    "You both throw powerful punches at the same time!"
    $ my_stamina = my_stamina - 5
    $ their_stamina = their_stamina - 5
  if my_move == 1 and their_move = 2:
    "You throw a powerful punch... but your opponent parries your attack!"
    $ my_stamina = my_stamina - 5
  if my_move == 1 and their_move = 3:
    "You throw a powerful punch... that your opponent tries to block!"
    $ their_stamina = their_stamina - 1
  # And so on for the other 6 combinations

# When you get here, the fight is over
if my_stamina == 0 and their_stamina == 0:
  "Double KO!"
elif my_stamina == 0:
  "You suck."
elif their_stamina == 0:
  "You stand over their battered, twitching body, cracking your knuckles... who's next?"

That's just the basics on how to start. Next you can add levels to control how much damage you do/take with each attack, modifiers for things like weapons/armour, and of course a status display to show your stamina (see this cookbook recipe for an idea on how).

I created a very simplistic example:

Code: Select all

while my_hp > 0 and enemy_hp > 0
    menu fight:
        "Your HP:%(my_hp)d  %(enemy_name)s HP:%(enemy_hp)d"
        "Attack":
            $ enemy_hp -= my_damage
            "You attack your enemy."
        "Use Potion" if potions > 0:
            $ my_hp += 10
            $ potions -= 1
            "You drink a refreshing potion."
    $ my_hp -= enemy_damage
    "%(enemy_name)s attacks you."
if my_hp <= 0
    "Sorry, you died"
    return

But Aenakume posted in the meantime, and I liked that better.

But Aenakume posted in the meantime, and I liked that better.

Actually, yours is more adaptable. ^_^; i didn't even make the strings mention the enemy's name during the fight. How lazy is that? "Ya, uh, you're bein attacked by... something." ^_^;

i suppose it might even be possible to make the fight real-time - *hinthint!* ^_-

[tigerrenko]

Wow! Great thanks to you guys!

Based on your code I made small hunting game! User has 12 arrows and picks what game to hunt. Some game is harder to catch but is worth more points. Game checks for arrows, tracks score, reports failure or success, etc. I know, it's really a simple loop, but as a total newb I could not have done it without you!

This has to be first loop in my life

I love the script *o* But i have a pair of questions. Is it possible to show messages after an attack passes like : "Be careful! Now you have 20 HP!" or "Well done! Enemy HP -10!" ?

And also to have the enemy with different attacks from you? Thanks a lot :3

As to the first, after your turn, you could add an if statement like this:

Code: Select all

if my_hp <= 20:
    "Be careful!  Now you have 20 HP!"

Something similar can be done for your other example—the "if" being whether your attack is successful or not.

As to the second question, you just need to define separate attacks for the enemy and then decide what you want them to do. You can use the renpy.random.choice or renpy.random.randint functions to choose one attack from several if you want more than one, and then use an if statement to determine which one was chosen and do the associated action(s). (I hope this makes sense.)

[sciencewarrior]

@TR: Glad to help. If you need a hand in your new game, just let us know.

@Amaku: as Verity said, yes to both questions. You can show the exact HP by using "Be careful! Now you have %(my_stamina)d HP!".

If you aren't used to programming, writing the steps in plain English before you try to implement them will help. If you can't make it, you can post description and code and we can show where they don't match.

Ok here i go! Please very please, take a look and fix my code >_<. I will add you to the game credits :3

I have some questions please.
1.- Will the code loop when a phase is over?
2.- How can i configure the items?
3.- Can i change in-game my max stats? Like at first my stamina us at 5 but then i level up and my stamina is at 10. The same for my other stats.
4.- Also, if i have my stamina at max, i mean 5, and i use potion, will it rise up to 10? Or the limit is set, if is not, how can i set it? :3

Code: Select all

init python:
  my_stamina = 5
  my_magic = 5
  my_combo = 5
  their_stamina = 10
  my_partner = 0

And some things that might seem weird in the script XD

1.- I have a "Partner" sistem, so depending of your partner, the skills change. I think it can be like this?

Code: Select all

 "Who will you fight with?"
  menu:
    "Friend1" if friend_1 >= 10:
      $ my_partner = 1
    "Friend2" if friend_2 >= 10:
      $ my_partner = 2
    "Friend3" if friend_3 >= 10:
      $ my_partner = 3
    "Friend4" if friend_4 >= 10:
      $ my_partner = 4
    "Friend5" if friend_5 >= 10:
      $ my_partner = 5

2.- I am working with the DSE2 but i changed it a bit, instead of stats they are friend relations, for the combos and magic.

And here is my code

Code: Select all

while not (my_stamina == 0 or their_stamina == 0):
 
  # Here you can show your opponent getting ready for the next round of fisticuffs
  # You can even use their_stamina to show them more or less injured
