Triple Triad Question

[RollaJedi]

Hello
I am just wondering if behind the scenes somewhere in the code, does each card have its own number identifying it? I am looking for a way to give a person an achievement based on if they have a certain card (which is where the number comes into play, since it represents that particular card). Thank you!

i'm assuming that since when you hit 'buy deck' it generates a random number for each card (and each card having its own number), with of course factors like how it rare it is and such. Basically, its rolling a dice and telling you which card you get because each card is a number. I would like to know where to find each card's number. I really wanna try some things with this.

I believe if you hover over the Edit link for each card in the AdminCP your status bar will tell you the ID of the card

yeah, it says for one of them 'card_124'. I was hoping there would be just a number by itself with no lettering in it.

I'm fairly certain 124 is the ID then, Deceptor probably re-used some code which is why the card_ bit was there.

If your using the default Final Fantasy 8 pack then you'll find these are named by number (Eg 124.gif) if your using one of DB-Techs own packs (for example a pack i've made like the pokémon set) the cards ID will be something like pidgey1.png. When you buy a pack you'll be given cards depending on the rarity you selected for each card combined with the probability of getting one of that level. Each card from that pack has the ID of that which you named the card when you uploaded it. This makes it easier to identify certain cards and why in some of the more recent packs i released i've numbered them from 1 to 10 (to show what level card they are when editing).

With vBactivity i'm not 100% sure you can give an achievement for collecting a certain card yet but i'm sure you could manually give a medal out for people that get the desired card.

thanks for the info

Its too bad you can't buy decks and cards via the shop. That would make for some really cool items to sell. Then that way you could actually give achivements for them too, i believe

You could set up your TT shop to sell individual cards and things, i believe Fillip H. had a small list of stuff to do in the future that involved making achievements for fors collected ect.

 

[RollaJedi]

does triple triad work in any way with vbactivity at all? If so, what kind of achievements are there for triple triad?

 

[Fillip H.]

Battles, trades and tournaments I believe.
