@Komag: This might count as abusing petri's game engine - but it seems to be standing up to it! :p
This technique actually also has some other uses too though I guess (it might already have been done somewhere). For instance...
Code: Select all
monsters = {"crab", "crowern", "goromorg", "green_slime", ...};
for i=1, #monsters do
cloneObject {
name = monsters[i] .. "_immune_to_fire",
baseObject = monsters[i],
onDamage = function(monster, damAmount, damType)
if ( damType == "fire" ) then
return false;
end
return true;
end,
}
Just a handful of lines of code and (if you finish off the list of monster IDs list) you've cloned every single monster with a new version that is immune to fire. You could presumably use this technique to give all of your monsters a specific 'onDie' hook or all of your doors a new onOpen/onClose hook that means they don't work if you have a special condition (broken fingers or something).

Now we need alcove overclocking competitions to see who can run the most & still have a working dungeon
(throw in some LightSource objects too for the water cooled rigs)
