Okay, so there's this chick I know named Starlace who likes to write up stories when when we talk togher and recently she had one she couldn't get to fit in any writing format, so I said "It may not be a good book, or comic book, but it would make a good RPG. And thus I have been helping her with it. One of the game's things is a card game. Now when I went into this I thought "Heh. Card dealing System should be easy to make wit h my new d6 system", but it isn't I need some help with this. We're working on the game togehter and she's okay with me hosting it on Charas. But beffore we can get a demo done, we need a card dealing system. Anyone know how t do this? The game is for RPG maker 2003 like all my others. I need some tuts on Card Delaing and on how to make the hand remeber what's in it. Also there are only 20 cards per deck in her card game. hope that's enough info.

Never heard of a d6 system. (I assume it means six sided dice?) So excuse me if I fall short on my attempt to help.

The only way I could think of doing this is if you assigned a variable to every card in the game. So a Black Dragon would be Card Type = 1. Then, assign a Variable for each hand. So P1 Hand (1st Slot) = 1. Now do a blank variable that is P1 Slot 1 Holding = ?.

If the cards can be dealt at random, set P1 Slot 1 Holding = Random number from 1 to Total Cards. There you have assigned and memorized what card is in the first slot. So to do a check, do If Variable P1 Hand (1st Slot) = 1, and Variable P1 Hand 1st Slot Holding = 1, then the 1st slot of P1's hand is a Black Dragon.

Set switches if the slot in a hand is blank, so that it can be filled by the deck dealing system.

The only problem with this set up is you'll be doing tedious, tiring work of setting up hundreds of conditional branch checks. I'm afraid I'd have to have a lot of time on my hands to come up with a better system. Hopefully this helps though. If you can't follow my rather muddled example, I may be able to provide a screenshot of what I'm talking about. Just ask.

Be a little more clear on exactly what it is you want and I might be able to help you out.
