[Surgebinding] Shardblades unique to player #103

Open leafreynolds opened 4 months ago

leafreynolds commented 4 months ago

I would like living shardblades to be unique to the player. This could be unique on a per-save basis, or you get the same designs across all saves. Things to consider that could change the design:

Visuals that could change:

Stats changing was also suggested, but may be more difficult compared to changing the model designs.

In way of kings prime, the shard blades shifted to match the wielder, if you were to lose your bond to one and then bond a new one, it would shift to match and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two. While WOK prime isn't Canon, I do like the idea of a similar mechanism if it is not too difficult and feels it could work.

My thinking is it might be easiest for the Shardblade design to be the same across all saves

I'd really rather not have the same shardblade design across all my saves unless I was also able to customize it to whatever I wanted. What if I got a really bad design, or just one that I personally don't like? I do really like the idea of procedural generated shardblades, but only if it meant you got to customize all the model parts.

My idea is to have a typical procedural algorithm in the mod that determines a players 'default' sword, also tied to their UUID, and then allow players to customize their sword per world. The design they choose would be saved locally rather than on a remote server.

As for stat changing... I don't need to tell you my thoughts on RNG based per player advantages.

Hi. You have misunderstood a couple things.

A living blade is already able to transform. It won’t be a big deal to have it look different. But this is the default look of the Spren as a blade, which you did figure out. But having a set look on any dead shardblades is important to me.

You’re also putting too much emphasis on any supposed advantages that a given design might have. I was thinking the difference between a vanilla axe and a vanilla sword. Different swing speeds and damage, but comparable and not really better dps over each other.

thanks.

Ah I understand. Carry on then.
