Would anyone be interested in an Achievement AddOn?

[jgiroux]

I am dabbling with the idea of creating an easy to use (similar in function to my current survival Add-On)

Achievement System?

would this interest anyone?

if I get enough interest I will make it more user friendly and I will put something together for you all to use,

I just figure achievements are so prevalent in games now a day.

Let me know guys/girls

All addons you make are very welcome jgiroux!

[uberwiggett]

Just adding some finishing touches should be ready in a few days.

When the new release of 1.4 and shooter finally comes will you be updating your add-on scripts to work with them?

Thanks! and yes, I try to give as much freedom with my add-ons as possible, I mean we all have different ideas of what our game should look like.

the script allows you to change all the graphics for the system aside from the (buttons), however you can easily *manually* change the graphics for buttons by just replacing the textures for them in the GUI object.

(just didn't want to waste for-loop code to go through all the versions of images on the buttons (disabled, highlighted, Active) when it will take a end user like 5 seconds to do it manually.

I am just finishing up some user-friendliness code however, I have a question before I set up to release.

Can anyone think of a scenario for an achievement that I haven't covered?

currently the system allows easy infinite achieves for

1) Killing a invector AI enemy (or any object running the AIController code)

2) entering a Trigger Collider

3) Touching/being touched/hit/pummeled,etc by a collider

4) Death of Player themselves

5) Killing a *set* number of enemies by Tag (example: Killed 100 zombies)

6) Meta-Achieves ( gain an achievement by successfully completing up to ten other separate achieves)

until I get the update (which includes inventory) I cant exactly define a *collect so many types of such and such" achieve since I don't yet know how to handle it until I see Invectors code. but I will update this when its made publicly available.

but am I missing a scenario? I think ive covered almost all the basics but want to shout out to you all who may be using it, maybe there is something I can add that I haven't yet.

Thanks as always for your words and advice!

Um I might be able to come up with something..
- timed achievements(completed level by a certain amount of time)
- multi-kill achievements(killing a certain amount within a time)
- flawless victory(beating a level without being damaged or wave)
- high damage achievement (highest combo damage)

If i can come up with some more ill post it here.

The system uses a simple call from anywhere.

simply writing:

if (whatever needs to happen)

{

AchievementManager.Instance.EarnAchievment("title of achievement");

}

will trigger the earn achievement.

so a lot of your suggestions can easily be created using your own systems with simple scripts!

however, the times concept is a good one!

ill look into adding that

[Chronicman]

Did you use an OnGUI void for all this ? 

[jgiroux]

there is no OnGUI calls at all made in this system.

It will be a great addon, I want it!
