Start the RPGJS

ronicec

First of all, thank you very much for sharing this wonderful project. It is certainly one of the best projects to create a game platform.

Well, I have some questions and I would like some help. Initially, I am thinking about some systems for my game that may be more complex and I would like to get the community's input on the best way to implement them.

Here we go:

1º I intend to have 3 types of coins, bronze, silver, and gold, where 100 bronze is equal to 1 silver and 100 silver is equal to 1 gold. How can I implement this in RPGJS today?

2º I want to create several classes beyond the traditional ones, such as blacksmith, cook, and so on. What is the best place to create these structures and classes, and what is the best way to create them (I apologize if there is already a topic on this, I searched and didn't find one)?

3º The items in my game will be made by the players, however, there will obviously be a database with all possible items. But I have 2 questions:

3.1 How can I add custom attributes for a specific item that a player made? For example, I will have a "standard" weapon in the WEAPON table, a "sword", but how can I make the weapon the player created have a special attribute?

3.2 Where or how can I save the item that the player crafted? Because I want this item to be sold.

4º NPCs, where and what structure would be interesting to have for the NPCs of the game? Should each NPC have a TypeScript class? What is the best organizational structure for this type of situation? Do you have any examples?

These are the initial questions that I have because I am gathering information for my GDD that I have been writing.

Thank you!

Thank you for your interest in the project

You can create your own properties: https://docs.rpgjs.dev/api/RpgPlayerHooks.html#props

Example

import { RpgPlayerHooks, RpgPlayer } from '@rpgjs/server'

declare module '@rpgjs/server' {
    export interface RpgPlayer {
        bronze: number
    }
}

export const player: RpgPlayerHooks = {
    props: {
        bronze: Number
    },
    onConnected(player: RpgPlayer) {
        player.bronze = 0
    }
}

The value will then be synchronized directly to the client, and if you use player.save(), this will allow you to create a snapshot that you can put in the database

I want to create several classes beyond the traditional ones, such as blacksmith, cook, and so on. What is the best place to create these structures and classes, and what is the best way to create them (I apologize if there is already a topic on this, I searched and didn't find one)?

Create the classes with the @Class decorator
Add class in your game:
assign the class to the player with setClass

Is the Same approach as the guide on objects https://docs.rpgjs.dev/guide/create-database.html
Here is an idea of the structure: https://github.com/rpgjs/template/tree/master/src/modules/starter/server/database

3.1 How can I add custom attributes for a specific item that a player made? For example, I will have a "standard" weapon in the WEAPON table, a "sword", but how can I make the weapon the player created have a special attribute?

data must be retrieved from an API or database
Then create a class on the fly

Example:

onJoinMap(player: RpgPlayer, map: RpgMap) {
    const { server } = player

    function createWeapon(data) {
        @Weapon(data) class WeaponCreated {}
        server.addInDatabase(data.id, WeaponCreated) // add in RAM
        return WeaponCreated
    }

    // Request here

    const weapon = createWeapon({
        id: 'sword',
        name: 'Sword',
        description: 'A sword',
        price: 1000,
    })

    player.addItem(weapon, 1)
    player.equip(weapon)
}

I'm thinking of improving this to easily retrieve and transform JSON data to the RPGJS API.

Where or how can I save the item that the player crafted? Because I want this item to be sold.

According to the code above, the data comes from your database, so you have the logic already implemented

NPCs, where and what structure would be interesting to have for the NPCs of the game? Should each NPC have a TypeScript class? What is the best organizational structure for this type of situation? Do you have any examples?

Not required to have one event per file. Here are some examples:

https://github.com/rpgjs/template/tree/master/src/modules/starter/server/events

Note that npc.ts is not a slightly more generic and reusable event

Samarium thanks so much! You’re the best!

What do you recommend for me study? In relation developed I have much experience with Vue, php and js, typescript is new for me but not big problem. So, I've been reading the documentation but many doubts I have I didn't find in it, would you have any suggestions of what I can research and read to be able to have autonomy in development?

Thanks again!
