Animal Carving/Harvesting Fun

[MrMister]

This tutorial will show you how to be an outdoorsman with 4 possible carving outcomes for each monster!
That's what my game is all about, survival

Precoding- Foistly, you need an ABS or an event that triggers a DB. ABSes can be found at gamingw.net tutorials section, or if you don't like assholes, refer to the 'Top Tutorials' thread in this very forum. Probably in there somewhere.

1. Either way, once all the fighting is done in the area, do your battle ending protocol and stuff and have it trigger a switch [deadiesmonster].

2. On your monster event, have a push button page triggered by [deadiesmonster]. The page should have the graphic of a monster corpse.

3. In that page have a set variable command, have it set [carvingchance] to a random number between 1 and 4. (Or 0 and 3, but I'm not doing it that way.)

4. After the variable set have a fork condition. This fork will be called 'Zack'. Have the 'ELSE case' allowed. Make it trigger if [carvingchance] is 1.
In Zack, have the player obtain the item [Leather Hide] or whatever.

5. Copy Zack into Zack's ELSE case, this one will be Screech.
Change Screech to trigger if [carvingchance] is 2. In Screech have the player obtain [Leather Scraps].

6. Copy Screech into his own ELSE case, this one is Slater.
Change Slater to [carvingchance] equals 3, and have the player obtain [Cow Liver].

7. Copy Slater into his ELSE case, this one is named Mr. Belding, and he is triggered if [carvingchance] is 4.
Mr. Belding should have 'ELSE case allowed' UNCHECKED.
In him he should have a message saying 'couldn't carve anything off'.

8. At the end of the event, have a switch [monster1carved] and make a new page. That new page will be triggered by [monster1carved] and be blank and below hero. Or, you can have same level as hero and a really mangled corpse sprite. Your choice.


Hope you use it well.

Ahhh... just tested it, works fine. Post any problems you have, or if the Saved by the Bell names confuse you, go grow a brain.
