I can't decide for Heroes which kind of Power system I should use. I have just accomplished setting up the Macro system at runtime and I think I might stick with that, seeing as it would be easier for on-the-fly activation, but that would require people to memorize which macro is binded to which attack.
What do you guys think?

HUD would be easier for people to choose stuff, but macroes can be easier in some ways. Id have to say HUD.
|
Why not use a HUD to set the macro's like is done in DBH2? (Or used to be when I last saw it), I found that to be a good system to play under.

Macro!
| |
You can have your HUD collapsable for people who don't want it and use macros. Kinda like most RTS games where you can use the HUD, but macros are for the "leet" playing :-).
| |
I always think HUD is the best becuase it makes the game more real like they were made by professionals. Besides, you can use Macros to access items on your HUD, as long as they don't appear anywhere near the user(ie. their contents or near them on the map).

What I think you should use is the hud for like the showing of the health, power, and the rest of the good stuff, and use macros for attacking, flying, ect. Thats just my oppinon.

Yeah, but it's all good.
Most likely I will use HUD for important stats (as Calus said) and use macros for the attacks. I am going to try and group certain powers to certain parts of the keyboard. As I told Elation on MSN, if I am in the middle of a battle, and I mean to press one key which would kill everyone, and I press the button which renders me unable to fight, that would suck. So, now that I brought that up, how should I seperate the powers? Uber-Weak, Offense-Defense. | |
How about if you click a HUD called Defense it will show all your defense move and if you click offense it will show all your offense moves(sub menus)
| |
Yeah, originally I was planning on doing something like that, but besides from getting in the way of the map, wouldn't that take a little time to find the right attack?
