Tutorial

Mike Owner · 4,026 posts
I toyed with this idea for a while. GTA online has a similar thing where it guides you through the activities in the world, an interactive tutorial.

Two reasons I never got around to doing this:
1. Time and effort - Would take time to implement this whereas the current intro tutorial that covers everything took less time.
2. Accessibility - Not sure everyone would want to spend their first hour on the server unable to play with others. I suppose it could be optional and you could opt-in to it after first spawn.

It's something to consider for the future however I can't see it being added any time soon unfortunately, as good as an idea it is. Thanks for the suggestion though!

yeah I did consider the fact that you've been working on this since 2015 I presume, so I understand ^_^

I must agree on this but this is a nice suggestion!
We are about to launch and there's barely time to add new features now.
We are more likely to fix bugs and server's issues.

I will however suggest one thing

Can the dialog prompt to do the tutorial disappear on login once the player achieves 100 score?
and just shift it over to /intro again, thanks.

Definatly!
If I had any type of experience in scripting, i would've done it myself try to help with some work load, but bugs and fixes come first! and I'm all for that 🙂

Revisiting this I don’t think it’s a good investment of my time unfortunately. What we have is better than most servers. An interactive tutorial would just be skipped by most and not be viable for players that don’t speak English.

It would take too king to make.
