Hi,

I have a algorithm that generates deeds dynamically, i.e. OCEAN traits based deeds coming from a algorithm which I developed to fit in my game(using a set of variables, statistics, etc).

As such I don't feel the need to use Deeds Templates as these are static/pre-defined. Therefore, I'd like to report the Deed that my algorithm generates dynamically using, for instance:

Deed dynamicDeed = new Deed();
dynamicDeed .Assign("tag", issuerFactionMember.factionID, impact, aggression, actorPowerLevel, traits, PermittedEvaluators.EveryoneExceptTarget);

Questions:
1) Is the method above the best way to report a dynamic deed? Do you advise any other approach, using L&H API?
2) Traits argument above is of float[] type, so basically something like {0,5; 0.3; -10, 10, 25}. How can I guarantee the match between the OCEAN traits and the OCEAN values? the first position in the array stands for O trait, second position for C and so on?

BR,
Mario.

p.s. can you please add some code sample for my better understanding?

Hi Mario,

Yes to both questions. The order of the traits should match the order of the personality traits in your faction database (i.e., O-C-E-A-N).

For efficiency, Love/Hate uses pools instead of instantiating and destroying objects at runtime. Here's some example code:

Code: Select all

// Romeo kisses Juliet. Define the deed:
string tag = "kiss";
int targetFactionID = Juliet.factionID;
float impact = 10;
float aggression = 2;
float actorPowerLevel = Romeo.GetPowerLevel();
float[] traits = new float[5] { 10, 0, 20, 5, -10 }; // Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism
var deed = Deed.GetNew(tag, targetFactionID, impact, aggression, actorPowerLevel, traits);

// Report the deed:
bool requiresSight = true;
FactionManager.instance.CommitDeed(Romeo, deed, requiresSight);

// Release the deed object:
Deed.Release(deed);

Thank you Tony Li! It was easier to nail it with your tip
