Scripting & Programming / [Resolved] Need some push into right direction at item system

« on: Feb 15, 12, 02:36:07 PM »

Hey HE folks.
I wanted to start doing a small item system for my game. I coded some smaller HSL functions and i am keen on programming so I got my HSL basics all in place.
1) What i want to get

• Item system with kind of procedural items
• every item is defined by 3 values: value, durability and strength, these values may differ between items of the same kind (so 2 broadswords can have different values for this 3)
• items also have stuff like name, description, icon and a model, which are the same for every item of one type

2) What i know/understand
I know about the spec oracle system and want to use this.
I followed the  tutorial on the wiki and got everything in place (as far as i can tell)
Now i am not sure how to go further.
I have an PD_ItemSpec, PD_ItemSpecOracle, PD_Item (which is specDerivedObject) and added all the functions. Where do my fields now belong to ?
Do i add them to PD_Item or to the Spec?
I´m a bit confused at the moment and feel like hanging in the air, so any feedback would be appreciated.

Developer Introductions / floAr is here

Hey there HeroEngine folks,
I want to give you a short introduction to myself:
I´m a 23 years old german computer science student, with an affinity to making games. I started programming when I was 12 or 13 and worked mostly with java or c#. In the last years I was able to gather some knowledge in assembler, c, c++, phyton and lua. But still I mostly use C# and work with XNA to get some game concepts running. I´m part of the ANX Framework team, where we recreate XNA and extend it to support DX11. Also i´m part of the Abendwind staff, a german DAoC freeshard where I write concepts, ingame texts, design layouts for areas and do some server coding. So MMOs are not unfamiliar to me.
I´m working on a kind of ultimate next gen super mmo, with some neckbreaking concepts in it, but I wont tell here, because everyone will steal them and sell my superior knowledge to earn millions of [insert your currency here]!!!11

No, joking aside. I like MMOs which are not so themepark orientated and I have a file folder full of concepts, which went there in the last years. I am in a process of rewriting, smoothing and getting them into my computer at the moment. As soon as they are in passable form I will throw some of them into this forum to hear what you say about them.
Now coming to my project. I have a laid out concept of a steampunk/low fantasy game, which revolves around a broken planet, crafting and some of these free-spirited concepts. It was layed out as an single player game so we are currently evaluationg which parts will be portable into an mmo.
I see myself mostly as a coder, and was crawling the wiki and forum the last month to get a glimpse of hsl and ... well... I think I might get a first understanding of how things work in the HeroWay. I have also some 2D skills, ranging from sketching concepts to some photoshop magic. 3D Modelling skill are there but i´m not great at this at all.

Ok last thing to say is "Thanks" to the Hero Engine Crew which brought us this great piece of software!
Kind regards,
floAr
