Carrying

Post by aouwra »

So we're going for realism eh? To the point where you're going to make my wee puny little un-enduring Spell Weaver self camp three times on the way to my guild?
How 'bout if my big strong Fir'bolg buddy can pick up my extra tiny self and carry me there in his pocket?
Why not? Surely him with his massive frame can pick me and my tiny equipment up, maybe letting me perch on his shoulder or ride on top of his helmet?
It'd be a huge boon for newbies who can't get themselves where they need to be due to choosing weaker/smaller races.
And again, it'd be more realistic.

It's really, really hard to code. Believe me, I've studied about coding it :)

D'oh. Oh well. I have no skill whatsoever in coding, but I hadn't imagined it would involve anything other than making a fancier following script and eliminating the movement cost of the person being carried, maybe adding an invisible object to the carrier's inv. to represent the other player.

i know very little about coding, but couldn't it be similar to partying? once the party leader leaves a room you automatically follow him, carrying could work like a party but without a visible party name, and the 'party follower' ie a spell weaver, would have no ep loss during that time

... and the "party leader" the carrier would have a greater ep cost on movement, as he has a higher load.

Isn't ep usage related to weight carried?

So you could move further by giving some of your equipment to your buddy to carry?
