loot extraction Loot extraction-reward system (Dark Zone inspired)
Dj Rolnik posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey everyone, I am working on a game mode idea that is loosely based on the idea of Dark Zones in The Division games. The game mode would be PvP and would revolve around both Player killing, collecting items and performing various tasks. I would like to create a system that would allow players to extract found items in exchange for points. The idea is that players collect items throughout the game (both by finding them on the map and looting them from other players) and may deposit them in certain "extraction zones" on the map in exchange for "points". Those points would stack up with all the items the players extracted. When the game ends, the points would have to be tallied including both the extracted loot as well as the one still in the players' inventory - the data would have to be pullable for the game summary somehow so that the best player can be chosen as the winner. So... a full list of what I'm going after, exactly: - multiple different loot-items worth a different amount of points - loot-items can be extracted in specific areas of the map one by one, possibly with an action that takes some time to complete - extracted loot-items are converted to points and awarded to the player (or a whole group if several members are working as part of one team). - if the player dies, he loses all of his points and is eliminated but the loot-items in his inventory can be looted by other players - exchanging the earned points OR loot-items for specific game items (ammo, meds, etc.) On a slightly different, but still related note, the game mode will feature a few separate factions, all with different goals during the game. Other players will have different goals and I would also like to reward them with points for stuff like: - collecting players' dog tags - collecting a different category of items found in the game - spending some time inside a specific area (researchers performing researcher things..) I believe those last three should be fairly easy once I have the reward system in place and working, since I can tweak the method I use for granting those points to players later on. How I roughly see it is twofold: - Either I assign variables to each player and adjust those variables according to the aforementioned actions and criteria - I exchange the items players extract for, say, a money item (in that case money would be the points equivalent to summarize the end game) Now the thing is, my scripting knowledge is probably insufficient for this task, so I would be very grateful for any tips or even some useful snippets of code that you guys could share with me. Any pointers and suggestions are highly welcome. Thanks! Adam
