That could work...

No, it WILL work.

I had thought about that as well, but wouldn't having the counter stat raised make you counter attack? And then the more you fire, the more the frequency of counter attacks decreases.

No you wouldn't and that's the idea to have bullets.

The counter stat isn't implemented, FYI. However, the problem with using any stat as "bullets" is that, with a standard attack or a random-select attack, MP is used, but if you run out, you keep doing the attack. An example would be BMAG in FFH. Hadoken consumed 50 MP, but you could cast it as many times as you liked. You would just run out of MP really fast and not have any left for other spells. If you set the attack to reduce another stat (i.e. counter), you would have to chain to the stat-lowering attack, which would not prevent you from using the gun attack once you ran out of ammo. I haven't checked money attacks yet, but I suspect they would be the same as MP costing random attacks.
My solution for this is to use MP as bullets/arrows, and have the gun/bow attacks selectable from a normal spell menu. For magic attacks, I've decided that they'll each lower your magic stat by a certain amount, so you can cast them as much as you like, they'll just do less and less damage until you refill your magic. That's mys system, feel free to use it, but don't go saying I copied it from you, because that would be lying, and lying is evil. Ans I'll hunt you down and slap you, too.

I thought that bug was fixed in the last update?

Hey Eggie, what about the actual story?

The story, basically you take a typical teen boy that lives in Detroit (the middle, semi dirty place), and is chosen to be given power out of random, and he decides to use his powers for good, even though he has no idea what the f8ck is going on. A team of Do-Gooders let him join because his special type of power could be the only way to destroy the ultimate evil, the leader of the opposing force, Sacred Eye. Along the way, he meets friends, enemis, and a whole lotta celbreties.

It's kind of hard to explain. He's a descendant of a special race, from his dad's side, and since he is the closest to the chaos, he's the one chosen.

Since I'm having a temporary loss of interest in Urban Fantasy: God Put a Smile Upon Your Face ( What?!?!

), I have started a new project. It is called Urban Fantasy: MATRIX (I have this sudden loving for Matrix, after I saw the movies and heard POD's Sleeping Awake a lot), and basically it takes place where Urban Fantasy 1 ends (I know it's kinda sad that I haven't made it yet, but there it's okay). I mean, right after, the very second. In fact, it takes place where I am at my keyboard and just Uploading the file to CP (I would like to ask if I could use CP in my game.). As I upload it, I am sucked in to the Matrix, and a half AI-Program half Virus traps me on the Internet and takes the form of my Urban Fantasy characters, and to save the world from being sucked in to the Matrix (I know I'm ripping off the name, but it's so damn awesome!). Anyway, I would like to ask a few people to be in my game (You're just there to be at the begin, and near the end where you try to kill me for screwing over the world.)
So if you would like to appear in my game just to get pissed at me and try to kill me (Yeah, you know you wanna. Actually I escape and then go off to save the world.) I would much appreciate that.

Also I would like to comment that this game is supposed to be a Tournament type game. I would like to say that everyone has the same special moves, too. All 96 special moves are the same and are all Tek powers, like Fire-1, Fire-5, Ultima, Apoclypse, Antimatter, Bio-3, and the most Ultimate attack Prayer. And basically you win Money to buy more stuff. And you can train and do subquests to get good stuff since you don't get a lot from winning battles in the tournament.

I know this is a little hard to understand, but please tell me if you don't (and don't be all like "Oh just Speak in English, Ha! Ha!"

Oh Yeah, and Urban Fantasy 1: God Put a Smile Upon Your Face will be delayed.

Well, if that's just the basis of your story and you're going to attempt to revise it and make it more original (meaning no more blatantly stealing other people's ideas) then it could be okay. On a basic level the story is mildly interesting.

Well, I have another idea. A unique idea. (Oh my God! A unique idea from me.) Relatively everything is made up in my head, except the location, which is Dirty Winconsin. Basically, there was a civil war in Winconsin (actually it was like a Riot.) and to end it all, there was a shower of bombs, that damaged the region and made it a wasteland.

The story is about a teen (so me) who plays in a band called IMDM and one day his friend is crazed out of his mind because he thinks he saw some aliens. Well, he did, and when the teen (who is Den, by the way) goes to check it out, he gets captured, kept prisoner, and informed about the Aliens’ goals. While he is captured, he is morphed into a Humalian (Ex-Human Alien. Also known as the Slave race.) and after a bladder release, is freed from another race of alien, the good aliens. On the way out of the prison, the good alien dies and explains what the aliens are doing, and why they are here, and gets killed by the bad aliens, but asks Den to stop the aliens from taking over the wasteland and morphing all of it’s inhabants into Humaliens. Den agrees.

There are 20 guns, and instead of equipping them, you use them as an item, and equip claws. This way, you can get rare stuff without constantly using them ,and they can be limited.

um yeah this just sounds like boring plot stuff. We want to know about the gameplay.

Hey, gut up there wanted to know the story. I gave 'em one. But whatever, about Urban Fantasy: Matrix, it's going to be like a tournament game, where all the characters from Urban Fantasy Appear, and you fight them (Again, it's really lame that I haven't even released a demo, but I'm closing in.) And about Urban Fantasy: God Put A Smile Upon Your Face (my orginal Urban Fantasy, I really should note these as different games since they are all Urban Fantasy's.) I want sort of a special way of summoning.

Okay, the 4th armor slot is Genji (Basically summons) and whenever you equip a Genji, you learn their summoning spell in the Summon spell list. Now when you take that summon off, you lose that spell. Now I am thinking of a Always-Running Script (the one that's on all the time) and it has "if" statements that check if the heroes are wearing a Genji. Say Eggie is wearing Alexander, then he has the spell "Alexander: Wrath of God" on his Genji spell list. If he take off, it removes it. Blah blah blah, you getting this?

Oh, and Zero, I did put some little gameplay at the end of the story for my Alien game.
