how do i make it so you can get user selected charater name and race and class. and stats and stuff like that, know like money and also how can you make monsters and weapons and a fighting system like in EQ where it says:

-you attack monster for 4pts of damage
-monster attacks you for 1pts of damage
-you attack monster but miss
.... and so on.

because i need these sort of things for my 8) REALLY COOL GAME 8) i'm making!

Well, thats gonna take a lotta work but..

You should probably make a fighting script just for your game(really helpful, aint i)

you could have a room where it asks you for name, race, etc. And then you store all that in a few variables. And maybe the game will change because of that, say for the fighting if you choose to be x then you have a better chance to hit the monster(ie not miss) but each hit doesn't do as much etc.

Now weapons. I suggest you get Al's library and use the container. Make an object for your player and make it be a container. Then, make your weapons and give each a special property with their stats and make the weapon be able to be put in a container. Then, you can pick up weapons and use them.

I have heard about Al's library so many times and i have never been able to find it! Where is it?!
