Planning ahead, kinda

I plan on having multiple races that the character could choose from, would it be possible to have specific customization options for each one? I ask because I haven't had the chance to tinker with it yet (I will tomorrow though), and wanted to know if I should plan something just in case.

To give an example, I want there to be assets that the player can only use if they are an elf, such as a hairstyle or accessory that wouldn't be available for a human. I want to prevent an event such as the player choosing to be a slime but choosing options that are meant for a humanoid race. 

If there is something I can do to do this, I would greatly appreciate insight. ^^

Hi there!

Yes, you can do that. Because you can create as many generator types you want. Meaning, you can have a generator for human, other for an elf, other for monsters etc.

Since you can open the generator with a plugin command, and also choose, on that plugin command, the target character of the generator.

So is just a matter of event it. Not allowing the player choose to open a generator that is not compatible with the character he wanta to change on the generator.

Perfect, thank you very much for this. I may come back if I have any questions as I implement the plugin ^^

Sorry another question before I even get in ... well, plugged in. I have Visuestella plugins as well, and I understand that order is important when inputting plugins, is there any specific order I need to put your plugins in? For example, does your plugin in somewhere in between Visuestella's somewhere? Does it go above others? Or below?

Developer

Hi!

There is no specific order. I guess you should only worry about that if you have any problems. 

The only order it does have, is that all my plugins need to be somewhere below my Eli Book plugin.

Is the Eli Book plugin mandatory? I'm still new around the scene so I'm not sure what requires what just yet.

Developer

Its fine, ask away ^^

Yes. Eli Book is mandatory. It is my core plugin. It need to be somewhere above all other Eli Plugins on the plugin manager.

Ok, noted, thank you. Sorry for the bother.

hello! , I asked this already in a previous post…

But also for future planning… what does it mean to have multiple character generators ? Does that mean it also can do other custom sprites ? Especially those with multiple frames passed 3? But all same size ? If ever, no,/not yet(?) are there plans of making custom sprite generator? Assuming the sprite sheet (although X>3 frames) are standard sizes?

Developer

Hi there!

When I say you can have multiple characters generator, is that you can create Character scenes with different piece files. Meaning, that you can have a character generator made only for humans, so only specific files will be present to pick from there. Another one is for an elf, so other specific files will be there, different from the human generator.

For now, you can have a character/face/battler with any size(width and height),  but all the generators you create must follow that same size. I don't know if I ever will make it in a way that you can have different generators with different sizes.

For now, also, only 3 frames(I THINK it already works with more than 3 frames, but I need to test first ^^). But if does not work, yes, I have plans to be able to use any amount of frames.

Please, next time make your thread, just for the sake of organization ^^

Hi there!

Just let you know that on the new version 2.0.0, now you can create different generator scenes with different sprite sizes and frames.

Wow ok! Thank you for the update ! 馃挏
