Programming / Re: Monsters moving between levels

Thanks for the feedback guys. I also though for an even more simplistic system you could just move monsters that are directly next to the player down the stairs with them. I think DCSS does something like this.

Programming / Monsters moving between levels

« on: March 21, 2016, 12:20:44 AM »

I was just thinking about this and how it could be weird to program so i was wondering if there were some specific approaches that people knew of that would help?

Normally you'd just have monsters from the current floor be active in your game, so moving monsters between floors could get tricky. The only thought I had was when a monster is pathfinding to the player and the player goes down stairs, the game will register that that monster was x turns away from the stairs and once those x-turns are up it adds the monster to the new floor at the correct spot.
