Pretty new to the whole game development scene, but I have experience in other branches of programming. Anyway, I was wondering what methods are used to implement a skill structure. I imagine a skill in itself would a class. I'm using actionscript 3 for this project btw.
public class Skill
{
public var power:int;
public var delay:int;
public var cooldown:int;
public function Skill(user:Mob, target:Mob)
{
}
}
}
Each skill would extend the Skill class and add it's own functionality.
public class Tackle extends Skill
{
public function Tackle(user:Mob, target:Mob)
{
super(user, target);
executeAttack();
}
private function executeAttack():void
{
//multiply user.strength with power etc
//play attack animation
}
}
}
This where I get stuck. How do I termine which mobs has which skills? And which skill will they later be able to retrieve (by reaching a certain level etc). How does the player actually execute the skill and how is it determine if it hits. It's all very new to me so I have no idea where to begin. Any links would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
