I wanted to know if anyone had an idea on how to create specific functions inside a GUI. This is what I have in mind:

- Character effects ( Random damage effects with numerical values instead of physical )
- Status effects ( Paralysis, Numerical reduction, ect )

Im currently using Netbeans 7.0.1, with SDK 6 installed. I also have Dreamweaver CS5, aswell as Flash CS5. I have the latest WAMPserver installed also.

I tried looking online, but I cant find a site/tutorial that tells me the right java functions for this. I cant try this in school because we dont have advanced coding classes for the job.

Is this java or javascript. I really have no clue on java and I do not know anyone to ask to help you out if that is the case.

What are you trying to do exactly? Would jQuery and html work for this?

Its Javascript based/ or a small portion of C++. Html would come into this because I want to build a GUI to help me moderate a future website. Its for a game to be exact. jQuery would work perfectly aswell. Here is an example of what I plan on doing.

Code: [Select]
public abstract class Character extends GridUnit
{
        // Character types.
        public static enum Type {
                PLAYER,
                ORC,
                KOBOLD,
                SKELETON
        }

        protected static final int CRITICAL_MULTIPLIER = 2;

        protected String name;

        protected int level = 1; // characters are level 1 by default.
        protected int currentHealth;
        protected int maximumHealth;
        protected int minimumDamage;
        protected int maximumDamage;
        protected int viewRange = 0; // characters are blind by default

        protected int attackCooldown;
        protected int movementCooldown = 0; // characters cannot move by default
        protected long nextAttackTime;
        protected long nextMoveTime;

        protected volatile boolean dead = false; // characters are obviously not dead by default

        protected Character killedBy;

        protected Map<CharacterEffect.Type, CharacterEffect> effects;

        /**

Thats just the basic framework for all characters. I also want to make a framework for effects for characters to use. Example

Code: [Select]
public class CharacterEffectFactory
{
        /**
         * Returns new characters effects of the given type.
         * @param type the character effect type.
         * @param subject the character the effect belongs to.
         * @return the character effect.
         */
        public static CharacterEffect factory(CharacterEffect.Type type, Character subject) throws Exception
        {
                CharacterEffect effect = null;

                // Return the requested type of character effect.
                switch( type )
                {
                        case DOUBLE_DAMAGE:
                                effect = new DoubleDamage(subject);
                                break;

                        case COUNTER:
                                effect = new Counter(subject);
                                break;

                        default:
                                throw new Exception("Failed to create character effect, type '" + type + "' is invalid!");
                }

                // Initialize the effect.
                effect.init();

                return effect;
        }
}

It looks like c++. Can you make a image of what you are trying to do? I can not really explain how to do something because I do not know which you are trying to do still.

Alright here is an example.

Here is the primary effect I was talking about. ( This is me )


Now here is a base HP of 100. ( This is my enemy )
 - You can see the effect I placed on my enemy with the icon.


Now here is a screen showing the effect of my skill reducing health by 7. ( This is me )


Theres a way of making these effects in a GUI, or code them using Lua or some other sort.

Is there any documentation on the framework / system you are using for the game?

Can I get a link to this because I honestly am not seeing how this is web oriented.

Also you have to post a image with an actual image link not just a web page with the image
