the potion system i promised murra

[Nova]

its not complete but i was hoping if i posted what i have so far that members of the TwC community could post what they thought about it and post what THEY want to see in a potion system,since the system should be what the players want.keep in mind,its not complete so you may notice parts randomly cut off mid-sentence,or mention something and not come back to it


••••••••••POTION SYSTEM••••••••••••••

When you walk up to a cauldron,you get a cauldron tab.When you click on the tab,the verbs "Empty,Add,Stir,light fire,inspect,Simmer and Scoop" are on there(7 verbs)

Potion Verbs
empty- will empty the cauldron of its contents,which if you dont can mess up your potion if the last person didnt empty it(or to tell if the last user tried to sabatoge the potion)

Add- will add ingredents to the potion
•When you add an item to a potion,it will say "The potion bubbles as you throw *insert amount* units of *insert item* into the cauldron!
-----------------------
Note
The ingredents can either be bought,picked from the wild,or be in the popup menu when you click add
---------------------------------

Stir- brings up another popup with the following options:Clockwise,Counterclockwise.Upon choosing one of these options,it brings up a menu asking how many times(you type the number of times),and then it asks if you want to stir it rapidly or slowly,and then finally,it asks if you want to stir it with the type of instrument(Wand or wood paddle)
•when you stir,a message appears saying "you stir *direction* *number of times you chose* with your *instrument*

Light fire-will give you the following options on a popup:
Extinguish,Low,medium and Hot

•Upone setting the fire to a cooler temp. than what it is,you get a message saying "you cool the fire"

Inspect-Tells you the properties of the potion in its current state(i.e a correctly made love potion would say somethinglike "The potion has a mother of pearl sheen!",where as an incorrectly made potion will tell you "The potion has a thick black texture").This can also tell you if the cauldron has been emptied.(if empty,you get a message saying "The cauldron is empty.")

Simmer- brings up a menu asking how long you want the potion to set idle (no time passes ingame)

[Justin]

I don't like it. It needs more work and needs to be more organized.

[Brett Black]

I agree. For this system to work, you need to put in a lot of work. It needs more details on how it functions, what it does, how it does it, etc.

Add- will add ingredents to the potion
•When you add an item to a potion,it will say "The potion bubbles as you throw *insert amount* units of *insert item* into the cauldron!

Not all potions "bubble", and it won't always work the first time (You could also add how there is a chance for it to work. I mean, the potion or ingredients could have gone bad, or maybe you need to be experienced with potions.) You need to add more details. Murrawhip won't accept this.
I did not read all of this, but I already saw a few things that could be fixed, etc.
