I have come up with the idea that NPCs(MOBs, Computer opponents) attack you at random when you have weapons, and only if you wander into threads outside of Town Square.

[if exist($weapon) && $area!=$town.square] {

But how could this be implemented in a way that makes it so you can do battle with players, in the same fashion that you do battle with the NPCs?

render.battleui.mob( $current.mobs );
render.battleui.user( $current.users );

I think I devised something like it a long time ago, but have long since forgot what it was I was on about... The NPC system I devised today was fairly simple. Attack with Sword or Flee. You should also be given access, in any fight, to your Healing Potion or Lightning Scroll, or whatever items Davideo makes up.

But if you decide to battle a Player, you should have the same options as when you battle a MOB. Certainly you can break off combat, especially if the browser crashes or your ISP dies or something... You shouldn't be forced to die. And when you attack Ogres, they have the option to instantly fight back in PHP. Players can't instantly fight back. So some sort of Timer should be implemented so that the Ogres attack only as often as a human opponent might attack you. And certainly, there should be timers that keep a human opponent from scripting or auto-refreshing an attack move. My idea is that no human or creature can attack again until their target sees that they have attacked them! Bots can instantly counterattack, meaning you can attack them again immediately, but not so for players, who don't commonly refresh so fast.

} [//end exist weapon]

What are your thoughts?

If your browser or ISP dies, so should you. Stop people cheating.

We should have bots in places, like there might be an orge randomly in one of the 'Vizzed Vile South' forums. So when you get there, they dont instantly attack you, you can choose to attack them, or to do nothing at all.

What if some members just choose not to play them games, would it be reasonable if they had an option they can switch off in profile or what?

Would this battle be in php, or php/flash?

I like the idea of a forum, where you gota battle stuff .

PHP only. You gotta battle stuff. That's the only way.
You only see Ogres and other Players when you buy a weapon from the shops. To turn off the battles, sell your weapon.

Ohh, so battles will be like crimson moon, sorta.. All put on the screen, with no options.
Example.

BigBob85 vs. Bat

The Battle:
You attack Bat for 8 damage! (17 left)
Bat attacks you for 3 damage! (21 left)
Bat attacks you for 3 damage! (18 left)
You attack Bat for 8 damage! (9 left)
Bat attacks you for 3 damage! (15 left)
Bat attacks you for 3 damage! (12 left)
You attack Bat for 8 damage! (1 left)
Bat attacks you for 3 damage! (9 left)
Bat attacks you for 3 damage! (6 left)
You attack Bat for 8 damage! (-7 left)

Outcome: You defeated Bat.
You earned 60 credits and 20 exp!
Your clan took 0 credits and 0 exp!
So you only earned 60 credits and 20 exp!


That will be good, if it worked like that.

I was thinking that the options would be there... such as, you could select what you wanted to do with radio buttons, or checkboxes. Maybe 'do nothing' would be selected by default. You would have to click on 'Attack', or 'Heal' or 'Cast' or 'Flee'. and it would attack the critter when you were allowed to, when you clicked on a new post or link in the site, and show the critter attacking you. Everytime you click a different thread, or post something, or look at the newest posts, you would see another attack round, and the full history of the current battle.

but then the page would have to reload... If it was flash based, it'd be live sorta.

What if, when you went to a thread, it didnt take you to the thread, but stored the variable for the thread ID you was going to, then you are in a battle page, that dosnt have vizzed layouts (or it could) then once the battle is over, or you flee or whatever, it takes you to the thread.php you was going to go to...
if that makes sence

Cool... does this mean there would be clans? Cause you know..., i shotgun Clan ADA

But it should have options.. like FF... Attack, Magic (if any), Shield/Guard, Run, ect

That example is a real example from crimson moon. Im lucky i won that on.
CM has clans, but it costs 10 bux to make one. Ill make a vizzed clan, so long as ppl will join it.

This sounds interesting.

But only if i get enough people to join. If you join, add BigBob85 as referal, or my number 38914 (im not sure what they want)
But ill get ya in the dragon clan, and we can get some weapons and armour for free. then eventually we break off

I say we make the whole thing out of Papercraft. The random number generators will be little cube-shaped paper dice. The monsters will be Papercraft goombas. The sidekicks will be little Papercraft pokemon. The different sections of the board will be represented by huge ornate Papercraft Buildings. Like the World Trade Center.

Dont make me change your name to papercraft...

Hey lowel, hows Joo going over there jamacan bacon....

Once this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious Viz. Only you can tell me what happens when a Delorean hits a stargate.

But seriously, with all these Mechwarrior models, think of the carnage Vizzed Battles would have! =D

I have made several 88 mph jokes.
