I second that emotion

Yup, so long as you don't empty the key everything should remain intact.

Version 0.1.8 is available that includes an option for regular members to start creature threads. It also stops the 'Attack' button from being displayed to guests.

It looks great Todge!! Thanks again for all your help! You've been awesome!

[Todge]

No worries.. And thank YOU.

I just checked it on my test site and it seems to work fine..

When you click on the box does it disappear?

[Todge]

I don't have a Mac, so I can't test it using that OS, but I can test it using Safari on a PC..

The plugin is working correctly for me using Safari, BUT, the pop-up repositioning is slow in Safari, so could you please ask your member to scroll up the page to see if the pop-up is stuck at the top?

If the pop-up is at the top of the page and unseen, and they navigate away from the page without clicking it the attack will not be registered. That may be the problem. If it is I'll see if I can find another way of ensuring it is displayed on Safari.

Yes, but does not input in post.

Member said no pop up at all.

I have added an 'attack check' to the code. Can you please try this version and ask your member to try attacking again, then come back and tell me what happens.

Thanks.

[Todge]

Do they get a pop-up when the attack fails?

[Todge]

Do you have a flash file on your site?

I guess that if that fails to load it can stall the browser before this code can run, but I'd be surprised.

Could you please try moving the Creature Hunt plugin to the very top of the list and see how that goes, there MAY be a conflict with another plugin, but looking I can't see what.

If your members are not getting a pop-up when they click the 'Attack' button then the attack is being stored, but for some reason it is not being seen on the thread page. I may need to use your for testing, if you don't mind, as the plugin is working faultlessly for me on my test forum.

And the reason Ariel is not seeing the Attack button is because all the Archeopteryx' have already been killed.

[Todge]

Nope, none of the creatures respawn, though once I manage to find out why it's failing for some of your members some of the time, and hopefully fix it, I'll think about adding extra features.

If you put an asterisk (*) in the creatures group title you are designating that a group swarm, doing that will mean that the random hit points now become the amount of creatures within that swarm, with each creature being a one hit kill. And you normal attack damage is divided by 10 to make it more 'realistic', if possible with a plugin like this.

I would like add a function where the creature(s) can get away for a few posts before returning, and your respawning idea is good too, but as yet neither are are in the code.

[Todge]

TinMachine, do you mind if I join your forum to try and see what's going on?

[Todge]

Not at the moment, no.

My PC quit working a couple of days ago, and coding on a tablet is a pain at best.

Hopefully I'll get my PC fixed in a few days, or have another one if it's not worth fixing, so I should hopefully be able to take a look soon.

Sorry.

Hi Todge !

Just a quick question. I have a battle coming up that includes several different creatures. Instead of doing one thread per creature would there be a way to set it up so two or more creatures can show up? Or maybe just show different images under the same title? If your PC is still out no worries. Its not for a while yet ^^ If not that's cool too!

[Todge]

I'm still withouy computr unfortinately.

But having more than one creature per thread could cause problems. The thread key holds a lot of data in this plugin, so adding more creatures would seriously risk running out of space.
