Skill Tree for MV

So, after failing to find a suitable option for a skill tree plugin, I decided to mess around with the idea of a custom skill tree of my own. I think it worked out the way I intended, and is fairly light on processing. It just takes quite a bit of eventing and scripting knowledge to program properly. I've posted an example below:



If you watched the video all the way through, you can see that each actor has their own skill tree. Yes, they are laid out the same. But the layout is by far the easiest thing to change. There are a ton of ways to customize this and make it look how you want.

Anyway, if anyone likes this idea and wants to see how to make their own just vote yes on the poll up there. Chances are I'll make a video tutorial even if I only get a few votes.

Thanks! :)

I do like it :)

I'm answering "yes." I'm no mod, but I'm not sure this is the place for this kind of discussion.

@Eschaton The only other places I could think to post this topic were Ideas and Prototypes or Resource Showcase. But, this is a single feature, not a project. It's also not a downloadable resource, but an amalgamation of several elements.

Could you suggest a better place for this? Just for future reference.

This kind of subforum should be engine neutral. Asking specific would be either in respective script/plugin forum or support forum even though not really support question.

Thanks for the feedback. Even if this gets moved and/or closed, it's fine. There seems to be enough interest, so I'm going to make the video tutorial this evening.

I did something like this for a project a while back; I never ended up completing that game though and moved on to other projects. For that I was using a menu script that called a common event so it could be called from the menu. I even gave the skill tree its own goofy name to; I think I called it the sigilia in game.

I think its a tutorial worth doing, certainly, I'm sure it would interest many. If anything it shows how powerful eventing can be in the makers.
