Gaulish Gaming Banquet: editor

Another benefit of this approach is that you can easily edit conditionals (lights) which are very confusing to edit currently as they span across several sequences

adrientd

Yeah, but I think if you make new levels and want to add simple events like a switch opening a door, or even simple fight locks, the way it already is in the editor is already good enough imo.

adrientd

Something I might have to do is change the event node selector to display the name instead of an ID number.

pegperegogaucho

Not false, but the interface severely limits the possibilities right now as you can make some really crazy stuff with complex event sequences

pegperegogaucho

But maybe there is an easier way to display event sequences and their targets 🤷‍♂️

adrientd

I don't expect many people already start making complex sequences.

adrientd

My current goal is to let people do complete new levels at basic level.

pegperegogaucho

Alright, no problem

pegperegogaucho

But at the very least the display of enabling/disabling of triggers needs to be changed

pegperegogaucho

like instead of 1721 -> SrvDetector it would be Enable D #33

pegperegogaucho

and a way to select it

pegperegogaucho

And of course adding names to the events 😉

adrientd

Yeah sure, but it doesn't sound simple to implement.

adrientd

Because you have a lot of different cases: - some events does one thing for one class, for another class it does something different - there are events with parameters (17xx etc. to enable triggers), others don't - some start with xx00, some start with xx21 or I don't remember what it was...

adrientd

We would have to: - find out all possible events (per class) - store information in some sort of JSON file, where for every class we have a list of possible events (or range of events)

pegperegogaucho

What comes to my mind right now is a map which uses the full id as a key and another map for its value, which then in turn uses the event number as the key and the event name as the value I guess the detector and some other objects would need to be special cases :FrogThinking:

pegperegogaucho

Sounds good!

adrientd

Also we might also need a JSON file to store possible actions for CKMsgAction

pegperegogaucho

True, you can define custom ones

adrientd

storing for the action not only the name but also the number and types of parameters needed
