Monopoly type of game in GE?

[slyons904]

I've created a board game that plays like "monopoly". Is this type of game possible to do in game editor and is there a tutorial that covers the execution of this type of game?

Any info would be a great help.

Thanks!

This type of game is entirely possible, but there aren't any examples out there. Pretty much though, if you get a feel for gameEditor how to make it should come pretty naturally. The general idea would be you have a certain number of play actors, and a global array to hold their stats. You'd also need an array of property information. Then the last important bit is to have a variable that cycles through the turns of the players, so if it is 0, then it's the first player's turn, 1 for second, and so on. For ease, you'll have all the property information stored in the array, and same for the player info.

That is really helpful, how would the dice work though?

Thanks!

You can use the rand function. Essentially have an animation of a dice rolling, but to determine the result (and which animation to play [probably use animation finish]) you can use this.

Code: Select all

int result = ceil(rand(5));

That will get a random number 1-6.
