rp running and scouting!?
« on: August 22, 2005, 03:01:15 pm »
two thoughts ..
two .. two for the price of one!

1.. to aid RP adventuring.. it would be swell if a group could *link* up so that only one individual would have to actually do the running and all could type and RP on the way as appropriate.   now, so as to keep things.. easy, the group would probably work best in a line and it could only go as fast as its slowest member .

2.. so as not to put the runner (scout .. hmm sounds good!! scout.)  at disadvantage, perhaps via a skill one could lead the way,  running along the path automatically o_O  

ok, there is no map in game,  so a lower level could learn only say 1 path or a short path..and a high level a many long complicated paths.. but nontheless ONLY paths they have followed before.. like a macro, just recording then following the keys presses when put into memory, which would then when played follow the path followed the last time (how could you get into the path from the middle of the macro?.. i\'m not sure.. maybe it could just look for a position xyz on the selected path and one would have to be within a radius of that path?).

i assume both of these would be quite difficult... (esp for the 1st with so many dropping out between zones as it is ) but i thought i would throw it into the arena ..

I would be fine with a simple /follow command.

There has definitely been an extensive discussion of various /follow commands and their variations recently :) Some of your suggestions have been included: /follow
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

should only need a /follow and an /autorun command. Every MMORPG I\'ve ever played had these. If PS was to do anything different, it might be to have /followinline, /followabreast, /followwedge, /followskirmish etc. commands which would put the group into various formations. As I\'m typing this, I seem to recalll there was an MMORPG that had this but I can\'t remember which one.
