All you've done is added a variable. Where's the ranged weapon code?

What's with people posting "untested" tutorials lately? They're of no use if they don't work, and they DO NOT work if they are untested.

Better question:

How do you expect to test it without a ranged weapon? o.O

This is like... adding a special data to Players for a specific series of quests, but not implementing those quests.

Well he copied the two-handed weapon tutorial, and changed all of the "two-handed" to "range". Only thing is range doesn't do anything... at all

My mistake *first tutorial*

Understanding the basics of how to add a stat of sorts to how data is saved and loaded in certain aspects (player, npc, items, spells, shops...) is actually decent for a first tutorial. I remember the days when people were asking how to break away from the formula which automatically set NPC HP/EXP, and the only somewhat tough part of that was understanding where everything loaded and how it was saved.

I think I posted a tutorial on it but forgot a few parts and didn't finish it in the end. Magnus posted one later that works quite well, I believe. This was before MSE1 even, so I can't really recall who did it exactly. Think it was him, though.

Well I'm glad he's learning something, but posting it as a tutorial may not have been the wisest choice. regardless, he has learned something and there is already a finished working tutorial for this. so everyone wins.

and for the record I've completely redone stats on everything in the game except for spells, which are next on my list. take a look at some of my screenshots posted in the gallery to see what I've done.

All I've done is renewed some things... DEF became VIT, SPEED became AGI, MAGI became WIS. Added DEX, used the values of DEX and AGI to determine accuracy in PvP (players may complain about not hitting regular monsters, but PvP is a big thing in my community so I placed it there anyway and no complaints thus far). Added INTL, changed formulas to keep WIS as a bonus for only "healing" spells, and INTL for "offensive spells" using WIS as the defense instead of the GetPlayerProtection as normal.

Not too much, just some minor stuff I wanted. XD Might do more later though, once I get the game to where I can release an alpha.

Yeah, I feel like I should update my spell system a bit more too. Physical combat in my game includes a Slashing, Bludgeoning, Piercing, Ranging, and Shielding skills. Can't really think of good categories for splitting skills associated with spells though.
