Auto events

[nskins]

Some Events may need to be triggered automatically. For instance, an NPC may require a fee to cross a particular Tile. Upon moving to that Tile, the Event must start running.

One idea for the implementation would be to add an auto_event member variable (of type Event) to Tile. Upon moving to the Tile and seeing that auto_event is not nil and also visible, run auto_event.

Send pull requests to the auto-events branch.

@gintavang, would you care to work on this?

[gintavang]

Got dis

[nskins]

Hey @gintavang, I hope to have this written soon, could you let me know if you would still like to implement this? No worries if you want to hand it over to me.

[gintavang]

My bad man, totally forgot. If you wouldn't mind taking it, would be much appreciated

@nskins I would like to get into this. Do you mind helping me dive in the goby project through the help of this feature enhancement?

[nskins]

Hi @shubham7saxena. Yes, I can help you work on this feature.

Quick overview: two tests must be written. One will be for an visible auto Event and the other will be for a non-visible auto Event. You can use the Chest event with an argument to its gold member variable to ensure that the Player does (or does not) automatically receive the gold upon moving to the Tile.

Please see my first post on this issue for some basics. Most of the implementation will be in the Player's #move_to function. Ensure that auto-events run after fighting a Monster, if any exist on the Tile.

Let me know if I can clear anything up or if you have some questions.

Hey @shubham7saxena, any luck on this feature? Let me know if I could be of assistance.

EDIT: I hadn't thought of this before, but if the Player dies while fighting a Monster, the auto Event should not run.

Hey @nskins, is this issue still available?

I've never contributed to open source before, but I'm somewhat familiar with the Git workflow and I have around 2 years of experience in Ruby so I'd love to help out! If it's already been taken care of, I'll keep my eyes open for some smaller issues to get started with. Thanks!

[nskins]

Hi @CPerry26 - yes, it is available! Please reference my previous comments on the implementation details. You will make the pull request to the 0.2.1 branch. There will be quite a few more tests to write than I originally thought (death to monster, after defeating monster, etc.?). Not 100% sure how it will work yet. Please let me know if you have questions about anything.

[CPerry26]

@nskins Not a problem! I'll start by writing all the tests I think should be there for proper coverage and then I can get in touch with you and see if there's anything I missed. Sound good?

[nskins]

@CPerry26 Yep. Sounds good!
