Hello. I have some quick questions. I just desire to know if the following things are possible or not- I'll take care of finding tutorals and such about how to do the following later, right now I just need some answers while I brainstorm concepts.
Okay, it's really one big question, but I tried to break it up.
1) Is it possible to rig the game to have multiple characters?
-- I was thinking of using a menu option. (Like an expanded version of the "Difficulty" menu option, where each "level" was instead a character's name.) For example instead of Easy, Medium, Hard - use their names "Bryen Kriel, Rosko Gunner, Shadow". Then just rig the Skill settings to give each characters their properties. (Different Max Health/Armor settings, etc)
2) Would it be possible to tie a custom weapon load-out into the above idea, or if that isn't possible- could each "Difficulty/Character" trigger an individual map to be loaded? For example, make a "precinct_template" map, and then just name it different for each character, and load them into it.
3) Is it possible for a weapon to have more then one alternate function? (Specifically, I have an SMG that I need to toggle from Single, Tripple, 5-Round, and Full-Auto fire.)
That should pretty much cover it. Like I said, I am not asking HOW to do these things at the moment. I will search for those answers on my own first, and only then ask about them. I was just hoping for some quick yes/no answers from the collective knowledge of all the modders around here about whether these things are POSSIBLE, and thus give me some dirrection with my concepts.
