Updated Attributes, Script Calling & Window Setup. (10.3.05)


What it does:

Basically, this will add information about NPCs you meet throughout your game.

Instructions:

Make a call script in an event like this:

Code:

a = "name";b = location
c = sex;d = age
e = height;f = weight
g = job;h = hobby
i = alignment;j = reputation
k = bio
npc = NPC.new(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k)
$npc_info.add_npc(npc)
or To fill a specific Index
$npc_info.input_npc(npc, index)

New Features
You can also now fill in blank nps. However, if you do this, all current npcs will be deleted, so do this at the start of the game (recommended).

Code:

$npc_info.fill_npcs(size)

It will fill a list of Blank NPC's.

To substitute in those NPC's, use:

Code:

$npc_info.input_npc(npc, index)

Updated: I updated how the NPC class Initializes, so it makes NPC calling a little easier. Just Fill in the info. For further Instructions, See Script.

Heres the code. Just add it somewhere above Main.

Any Request?

I would like to add more attributes to the NPC's. Any Ideas you'd like to add?

Also, If anyone has and request or a design they would like me to make the scene, just ask and I can do it.


Future Add in

As request by some people, Im modifing this Into 2 other uses:

-Pokedex
-ABS Bestairy
