Creature Hunt II (0.1.7)

[Todge]

With this plugin you can turn a thread into a battle with a creature, be it a wild animal or a mythical beast.

You have the option to simply allow members to attack the creature, or allow the creature to attack your members, giving them health that is depleted with successful attacks etc.

Library Link version 0.1.7

Direct Link version 0.1.7

Full instructions are in the plugin.

I think I'm being dense Todge

I think I have it all set up, but how do we 'attack' the creature? Does it require someone else to post before me to attack? I'm testing things for a christmas event so as you can understand I don't want to reveal it till December

Once the creature appears in the thread, you should be able to attack it, regardless of who has or has not posted before you.

Is the creature appearing after the desired amount of replies?

I'm actually not using this one..I just have to say Todge when I looked at it..I nearly died laughing at the sheep example. Gold star.

Yes but I cannot work out how to attack

[barndoor]

creature is attacking after correct amount of posts.  cant find ways to attack it back plus when i type in a reply to the thread. the reply button disappears and i cant post on the thread.  only the preview button is available and a message at the bottom of the attempted reply says "The thread in which you are posting has no effects applied to it.  The button that says "post quick reply" is gone.     If you use the reply box instead of quick reply nothing happens when you click it
"

screenshot of the create post/reply box with no way to post it.   preview button does nothing

[barndoor]

AHHHHH apologies totally my fault. rather than delete my post i will leave it here in case tinselled Loki has done the same thing

in the "creatures" tab i mussed the "%" in the hp/success rate box. I put 100-200 50 when it should have been
100-200 50% <--------- missed the % as i thought it would default to that. it's working fine now and the reply and attack box are there and working fine. oops

Let me go double check that as your symptoms are remarkably similar! 

Edit: I think I've checked everything and not seeing anything in that line of things

The plugin SHOULD work with or without the % sign. Testing it on my forum, using FireFox it does indeed work.

barndoor, could you please tell me which browser you are using?

[Boy_Wonder]

I'm using Chrome btw Todge .

Creature has shown up on thread

This also shows up at the top:


of the thread view thingy (when you're viewing a list of posts)

but no reply button when going to reply



here's the most relevant settings (I think)




I don't think I've done anything majorly breaking in those either so stuck

I'm not sure if this is the problem or not, but you cannot have a mixture of swarms and individual creatures within the same group....



You should only click select the swarm option for the first creature of the group... ALL other creatures within that group will then be treated as a swarm.

I have tested the plugin using Iron (a cut down version of Chrome) and all seems to be working fine on my test forum...

Ah that might be it! I'll go tweak that about a bit then!

Edit: still no ball and I've adjusted that bit

My console is showing this as an error: 

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '1' of undefined(…)

referencing this bit of code:

 if(pb.plugin.key('user_hits').get()[1] == 0)

       {

           $(att_button).attr('disabled','disabled').css('color','#888888');

       }

   }

[Todge]

Ahhhh... Can you do a test for me...

Go to your profile >> Edit >> Staff options and scroll down until you find the Creature Hunt HP. Make an edit and save, then try attacking again.

[Boy_Wonder]

Will every member need to do this?

Also I've been to that bit, made an edit, clicked save on that bit. Saved the profile. Still naddah

Okay new console log error on the profile bit:


Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property '0' of undefined(…)

To do with this line

  c_stats[0] = $('#maxHP').val();
