Lone Ranger Toy Box by xerokills

Greetings folks,

So I jumped on the Infinity bandwagon for the Toy Box mode. I have just started to dabble in it and I guess I am not sure how elaborate I can get with it, but here is the goal I have and how I intend to implement it.

First creation will be called Lone Ranger and the Mystery Ranch.

It is based off of the 1938 book of the same title and the story involves a few mission objectives to complete for the level.

Not sure if I can script actual text stories to tie in the level or not. I sure hope so, but I haven't dug deep enough after day one to know for sure. I suspect it is limited. I know I can script events via recording triggered sequences.

So here is the basic story concept: (http://martingrams.blogspot.com/2011/06 ... ranch.html )

"The Lone Ranger and Tonto are on the trail of the Night Legion, the notorious, ruthless gang of criminals responsible for an untold number of crimes across the States and territories, and responsible for the Texas Ranger massacre that forced the sole survivor to don a mask and set out to seek justice. The Lone Ranger and Tonto stumble on the dying testimony of Joe Frisby, overhearing a plot complicated by two halves of a treasure map. After rescuing two young women arriving from the East, Sally and Marge Whitcomb, from an ambush plotted by members of the Night Legion, The Lone Ranger deposits the girls at the ranch owned by their uncle, a known reclusive, whom they haven't seen in more than a decade. After discovering that Uncle Whitcomb's place is also nicknamed The Hoodoo Ranch, and someone there leaked information to the leader of the notorious gang, the hooded leader, The Lone Ranger and Tonto agree to keep an eye on the ranch for the girls safety.

Meanwhile, a council of war is gathered in the office of Sheriff Cook, who recruits a number of deputies to help purge the town of Sundown of the notorious gang. The horrors of the Night Legion have swept across the countryside but with The Lone Ranger in the area, the Sheriff is certain the gang will be apprehended. When Sally finds a blue vest worn by one of the men who killed Joe Frisby, she sneaks off the ranch to alert the Sheriff. Marge, attempting to cover for her sister, is escorted off the ranch by her uncle and soon learns that he is the hooded leader that has masterminded the numerous crimes across the plains. He plans to eliminate the girl after he discovers where she and her sister hid the remaining half of the map. Without possession of her piece, Joe Frisby's half of the map is worthless. Upon learning where she hid it in the house, he returns to the ranch.

The Lone Ranger, meanwhile, has discovered a cellar underneath the house where an old man is being starved to death. He is the real uncle and the leader of the notorious gang has been masquerading as the girls' uncle. During their confrontation, The Lone Ranger shoots the killer's gun out of his hand and beats a confession out of the criminal as to the whereabouts of Marge. The much-feared boss becomes a sniveling coward, begging and pleading for mercy. After learning that she was being kept against her will in Flynn's Cave, the law races out to apprehend the gang members and rescue the girl."

I have to take some time to piece out the story into a series of events, but I'm sure you can imagine how this story would play out from reading this. There are multiple books I could use to tie in multiple stories to a series of themed maps.

Basic idea.

Time to work on the objectives and how to implement them, sketch up a basic map layout and start building in Toy Box.

If anyone wants to give me ideas how to make this story play out smoothly with suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. I plan to implement a lot of the recording device to record triggered events, but I really don't know how much story that can be created. It might just have to be more free form. We shall see what can be done.

Sounds like you think this game is a lot more than it really is, yes there are awesome creations but they are limits, like the script thing you mentioned. I am not completely sure what you mean but I doubt there is any way ro acript anything like that. Sounds like you are expecting this to be more like the PC version of Minecraft in versatility. Also there is a limit to the items you can place in your toybox.
