LIDS (Legacy's Inn/Healer Dream System)
Version: 1.1
Type: Restorative Establishment/Aesthetics Enhancements
IntroductionWell after checking out Calintz awesome system, the
CAIIES, I noticed that it would be much more efficient if there were a few script calls. Then, as I messing around with the system, I got carried away, and created my own system.
It uses the same basic concept of "Inn Realism". Sleeping at an Inn shouldn't cure critical condition. But I took it a step further, and said it shouldn't heal things like being turned into a frog, poison, being paralyzed, etc. And, armed with a few simple script calls, I made the LIDS. I also added a "dreaming" system. (They can be anything from simple messages like "you dream of fish...", to flow blown cutscenes, to minigames. It's that customizable!)
This is to show just how much a few edits of Calnitz awesome system can do! (I highly encourage you to get his system, and make something unique out of it)
Features
- Separate Inn and Healer Facilities
- Inn can heal all characters, except those with the a state that requires a healer (easy to set up).
- "Healers" can remove certain status ailments that you define, as well as heal those in critical condition (dead/knockout).
- Dream system (at night, you will have a dream)
- Separate dreams for both the healer, AND the Inn.
- "Special" Dreams. This can be used for those cliché cutscenes that take place at the Inn, as well as "prophetic" dreams. (you can even define them separately for both the Inn and the Healer)
- Both healer and Inn will transport you to a map, based on whatever Inn you're in, for graphical niceties. (You can show your main character sleeping at the Inn)
- Uses common events in conjunction with variables, so it's easily customizable AND efficient. (you can have the price, message, map transferred to during sleep, etc change based on the "Inn" or "Healer" variable)
ScreenshotsShow the character sleeping. (sleeping scene can be different depending on which Inn you're at, if you set it up that way)
Healers work the same way, but you can define different scenes for the healers.
Random dreams! Can be anything from a fully blown cutscene, to a minigame, to just a box of text.

You can define a different set of dreams for sleeping at a healer (when I'M sick, I have really weird dreams)
Want to have those "night at the Inn" cutscenes? Well with this system, it's easy!
If any member of your party has states requiring a healer (which you define at each Inn, in a very simple manner), the Inn Keeper will notify the player that they need a healer.
The healer will also tell you whether or not you need their services (and will only allow you to stay at the healer's place if you DO need their services).

InstructionsEdit a few lines in common events to set up your own system. Check out the demo to see how I did it.
Credits and Thanks
- Legacyblade (me ) for making the system
- Special thanks to Clintz, for making the awesome CAIIES that gave me the idea for this system.
- Special thanks to Blizz for writing a tutorial on scripting, and helping me debug scripts I've written.
- Special thanks to Reives for a sound effect I use in one of the dreams.
Author's NotesDon't forget to set which states require healing at the Healer, and don't forget to customize the common events for your own game (particular the dream ones). You wouldn't want a random cutscene from my game as a dream, now would you?
This system is really simple to make completely your own, so go all out with this, and give your game some FLAVOR!
- Don't forget to play the demo, so that you can see how this system really works.
- If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I'd be happy to help
Yes...I made a map with cosmetic fog just for this demo. (I made that Inn map for the demo) I really should spend more time on my own project than making my demos look pretty. You can use that map, as well as it's fog, in your own game. Just make sure to credit me! Also, make sure to check out Calnitz system, it's simpler than this, and may suit your needs better. (his is awesome)
