Dungeon cards part 4 (player cards) Video Lecture | Construct Tutorial: Become a Game Maker - Game Development

all right everybody this is your new
shirt and this is the next part of our
card game so in the previous part we
built the any random card chooser so
basically that's saying hey we have an
enemy person or player choosing the
cards instead it's as a randomize
chooser that we'll choose a set of cards
and then I said I would work on the
human variable where you could choose
what cards you wanted to play now since
this is a mobile or web based video game
and not exactly a PC based video game
you just need something you can click on
our tap on and is easy it is easy to
export to both of them and is easy to
code for so in the spirit of making it
easy but effective and actually you just
need it to do a certain job and not for
it to do a bunch of stuff but you would
like the option to then add on different
codes so this is going to be our chooser
or basically the thing that where we
just scroll through our cards and
whatever Carberry or on that we want to
choose we tap that card it will go down
to the battle map and then we say okay
enemy player choose your card to battle
against that basically it's within
seconds so it's not as if like oh they
saw the card and then they choose their
own it's instant I was like you both put
down your cards at the same time now
before we get into this because I know
you see the code on the screen right now
what its gonna have to do is build in
several video games card based video
games there's an archive of what each
card does so that the enemy AI and that
the player know what they do what they
both do basically the computer
references a database or an archive to
say okay this card can add like an
add-on card which we're gonna do we're
going to do that but we're gonna do that
in sections say you hope layer card it's
a base one card it's a
at a some level 1 monster its main
attack is scratch so what you want to do
is build archive of every single card it
says ok when referencing this card it's
gonna say attack is this we have health
of this we have maybe armor if it's like
a knight you have armor health attack
defense so you want to sit then set in
all those variables and then for he went
to build at that point a randomizer
again through the randomized though is
to say ok you have so much on this and
what's on this so much on this per
attack or if he does this attack like
say like a troll versus a small Mouse
base character you're literally going to
wipe out the the mouse so forget the the
defense defense
forget against the armor maybe he has a
spell maybe that does save him so we're
going to work on those sections right
now we're gonna work on building at this
point we're gonna be building the player
chooser or the players card chooser so
you can select you can go through your
pack of cards remember each pack and
only about I'm gonna say 20 21 cards per
game because you can choose your
multiple different cards so you have
actual like monster or whatever play or
what I call play cards which is an
actual like monster character your item
in some cases an item like a magical
monster book or something like that that
you can set against the enemies
character and then you're gonna have
add-ons now add-ons we're gonna do with
a little bit later but it's maybe a not
that's exactly a side character but
maybe he has a pet or maybe he has some
sort of side spell that he can use that
will allow him to have immunity or you
know or so much immunity like the attack
is not totally effective against him
like you have an attack it's 50 he has
an immunity that like a little shield
that'll make him immune to like say 35
percent of the attack or 50% of the
attack so we're gonna work on that a
little bit later but right now we're
gonna be working on basically a player
chooser referencing what card he chose
and then later we're gonna be saying
okay he chose this card it's this number
let's go through the entire deck okay he
is this card
boom it's this level this attack on all
that so I know that was a lot of
information but right now we're gonna
just choose to go into what we what
we're going to do right now cuz on my
channel and that the Saqqara channel but
my channel I usually do it in small
little section so we can understand each
bit understand what we did previously
and understand what we're gonna do in
the future and this a card channel I'm
literally just gonna edit these to be
all in big video and then a couple of
like blank spaces so you can understand
that was the end of that episode and
then move on to the next one okay so
right here is where it's gonna be
basically your money per battle and then
you're gonna take that and then you're
gonna buy decks of cards or you can buy
individual cards and then build a custom
deck and we'll get into that this is
gonna be a pretty big setup
bigger than what I actually thought it
was going to be and then we have the
enemy card number and in your card
number so I'm gonna flip through a card
and I haven't set up the archive yet so
these are just totally going off of the
numbers that we pull so this is a blood
mage saw nos spell damage plus one death
rattle
death rattle that'll draw a card so I'm
gonna click that one and that's several
ways into the deck actually this is
going into a level 3 feral spirit summon
two or three spirit wolves with taunt
overlord
- I'm gonna click that one now I'm going
to do the enemy it's 5 it's 10 so I
still have to work on the battle setup
so basically I want
that one so I went in credits now if I
were to run this again I have to I've to
put in a there's like I'm trying to
decide how many battles there are in
each so we say level like Pokemon fights
it should be a fight so many times
before the actual game is over
so this is a totem ik might know earth
shot another national attack Forex
lightning
Frosch cleaning bull blood mage unless
that one will do and we're doing the
enemy hits one and six so I just won
five points I don't know if you can see
that right there five points now we're
going to do it again that's level four I
am a level six he's a level three I just
won fifteen points again that's a level
ten I'm a little sick so I just lost
points little fifteen he's five and I'm
a six and we're just continuing battling
until oh there's an eight number six
there's a 7 10 there's a five and a six
so you can see we have a battle
statistic on bigger numbers we're gonna
do this and we're gonna compare all the
numbers somewhere at it I think
basically just add them up and say okay
you had the bigger number because you
took less damage or whatever you know
your health is basically health as big
thing you guys armor will make you mean
to so much of that health literally when
they hit zero you did so we're gonna go
to the coating now so I kept all I'm
gonna put this in the enemy be a fire
link since that's the only way I can do
this because I ran this on some drop
something big download site contact and
say hey I'm doing this and all that
stuff and they're like oh yeah fine I'll
be safe it didn't all
files which literally just drops so
Sancha toriel's i'm gonna be redoing and
reuploading so this would be all on
mediafire so this is the enemy stuff so
it's a whole block of enemy code and
this is basically the player setup and
it's a whole lot smaller because you do
um this is basically it thinking this is
like enemy AI and we think it's bigger
when you're doing enemy AI and this is
player basically control so on top of
your player card you will choose your
card so instance ID is set player card
number two player card number basically
that is this okay that's text so it's
saying okay the whatever you choose as a
power of this we're gonna display that
and then we're gonna set it to somewhere
on the board and then we're gonna set
text to play card number and the core
value text play card I think I may have
actually deleted absolutely may not need
that anymore I'm gonna keep it around
just in case I want to use that variable
though and then we have player card
which is a new sub box on top of gesture
so this is the yellow arrow it's gonna
say okay on tap so it's not on click
it's on tap because on tap covers on
click in case you want to use this or
web yeah I think vice versa I just
prefer on tap so the system is gonna add
one the player card number so that's a
global variable so it's gonna keep
adding every time we tap that it's gonna
add one two three four it's gonna keep
it in like a page number setup and then
this is the player card deck we have an
enemy card deck and a player card deck
and you can have multiple player card
decks so eventually we're gonna have to
like name them
and keep it lit on them or just add a
variable every time you add one so play
your card deck set animation to play
your card number
who's me sorry guys so every time you
click the arrow it's gonna add one two
three and you're going to be on card one
two and three so it's gonna keep keeping
you um in sync when you choose it and
then you may have you may want to split
up your decks and two like this is the
my monsters my fighters this is my
support deck or spells shields and all
that type of stuff to suddenly like
level the playing field in case you're
fighting a troll and your regular human
grunt character let's see if there's
anything else I think that's basically
it
I'm gonna have to literally will I'll
literally delete all these on tap and
I'll just have one and it's literally
just gonna reference the archive
material so we'll have like I'm gonna
have some of this as archive it's gonna
be like I'm gonna learn this to probably
forty characters and then probably 20
support so that's 20 supportive spells
or items and then like 40 monsters and
characters with so many in each level or
maybe I do a level 1 and level 2 or just
five levels I'll probably just do that
or something like that so that it's
easier for us to do but it's almost a
full entire game so let's just go on tap
reference card number nine card number
nine is going to reference this and this
card or this and list level so it's
literally gonna reference okay you chose
this card this card is a burden type
monster he's level three reference him
okay we're gonna pull him out of the
archive he has an attack of six a
defensive one boom done so it's a lot
like Pokemon or you you're one of these
we're referencing more of an archive
based system tracking the numbers and in
seeing where they go so again on the
enemy stuff is on ran so we're going to
be choosing a variable again it's
through 20 since your deck is 20 again I
just put 10 here for some simplicity and
2 for the tutorial I'll tap 1 run the
random chooser set the enemy car so
we're gonna ping it it's gonna come back
and say ok this is the card here you go
we want to display the text this is more
for us and I guess we could set it in
the game to say oh that is a level 3 we
want to see that number but again we can
always remove that so it's just like oh
you have been done with the card numbers
but I think I'm gonna keep that in set
the position of the enemy card to the
deck set the enemy card number to enemy
card I think that's actually referencing
a text I think enemy card value oh no
its foot it's sending to a global
variable and then from that global
variable we are choosing the animation
it's not exactly in animation it's an
entire card deck in a animation set this
allows us to then reference what frame
it's on and say ok depending on what
card it shows it shows 10 10 references
this card this card is this powerful
different ways you can set up that's
this one way I'm thinking of different
other ways to set it up and then we have
the player on top of the card
we're going to dance at the player card
number to player card number it's
basically saying player card okay
basically what that's kind of redundant
and that worried that it kind of here's
how I'm going to explain it
to choose the card you have to hit the
big yellow button to do when you do that
it adds one to the player card number
and it sets your animation or the your
deck number to that so you go you tap
three times you're on three you're gonna
see sprite three are the third card in
your deck you scroll up and you tap that
card I want to choose the Eagle man
monster what this says is when you tap
it it references the card that you were
currently on so saying okay what card is
he choosing in this deck three okay he's
on three he's tapping three he's not you
know it's not saying okay he's suddenly
on six or five he's on three we got it
we're gonna reference the material so we
know what his tax indepence are we're
going to set the position it's on the
board so it looks pretty we're gonna set
the player set text to player number so
we know our defense or what I'm thinking
about doing is a bunch of stats over
here our defense is three our attack is
twelve we have an immunity of zero
basically we're not a magical or regular
creature and then we set the arrow to be
invisible so we can't you know go
playing around with the rest of the deck
it's just there's the there it is
there's the battle boom done and then we
reset it to a to a new fight so yeah
that's basically it guys unless at the
download link down below for you guys to
play around with you can do whatever you
want with this I'm gonna be updating
this with the archive of about 40 cards
20 supportive cards so yeah if you see
any other tutorial it's because I'm
really really really busy on this
setting up all that archival base stuff
and then eventually we're going to have
to do a buying and selling of cards
because you're fighting deck is only 20
cards but you can then choose
what cards you went in that fighting
deck so we're gonna have a player
archive okay you only have 15 cards you
gotta buy more cards you buy them you
got 20 cards well I want to sell these
cards or I want to exchange these cards
or whatever so yeah hopefully guys you
enjoyed this tutorial if you did hit
like and subscribe I'm trying to make
them easier for you guys to understand
that's why I have the explanation if it
isn't comment down below on how you
would like me to explain it or on what
items are what things he would want me
you want me to explain I can probably
put up a quick video on the blog instead
of actually just dumping it right here
and spamming you guys with these type of
tutorials this was a next section we had
the enemies sections we have the player
section next time it's gonna be the
archive and actually integrating that
into the battle system and then we're
gonna have the economy system where you
can buy and sell cards and be see them
at different levels I don't know if I'm
gonna do multiplayer I might I don't
know pretty much after the buying and
selling cards thing or the archive setup
I'm gonna say buying and selling cards
video you're gonna see this entire
series up on the concert 2 forums and
their YouTube page will be an entire
video so it may be be like 45 minutes an
hour an hour and a half I do videos for
them and I would like you to check out
those guys because they do a lot of cool
tutorials over there and I do videos for
them so hopefully guys you enjoyed that
