Action RPG Inventory System

Hey,

I hope someone can help me with a problem I have?

I want to find a way to make the items that drop randomly and are picked up by the player be persistent…

Can anyone tell me if I’m on the right lines, provide some help etc?

I have a good basis for my game with stats, enemies, procedural levels, levelling system etc but having actual randomised items with random stats is what I need. I have the system scripted already to make the items have random appearances and stats but I can’t retain those stats between item manipulation.

Anyway, I think you get the idea.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Daz

I would start with a basic save system, this would be a file saved on the clients machine but would be easily manipulated. If you’re good with server and coding. You could use the JSON plugin to securely transfer the information to a dedicated webserver. Since duping and hacking and all that would be quite easy.

This is no small feat, at least not for me. You may need to hire someone depending on your skill level.

here is a post on Reddit that will explain more avenues.

I hope that gives you a point in a direction, I wish I could be more helpful.
