Bunshins

[Aikou]

Yeah, bunshins are a totally cool idea, and add a more "Naruto" like feel to the mud. However theres a major flaw with 'em. Perhaps if you added the ability for your bunshins to interact with items, it'd be less of a mess.

Kotani and I, were doing some trading, and he had some bunshins out. I gave kotani the item, but where I really wanted the item to go to, was 3.kotani ... anyways, that object is no longer available to us now. I don't know whats what for bunshins, cuz my village doesn't have em, but... something like "Command Bunshin [give, drop, get, sac, wear, etc. etc.]" would be nifty.

*wince* Ouch, I can see how that might've been a blow.

Haven't much trouble with that part of things, but what could be interesting would be being able to perceive what went on in the clone's room - if they weren't in the same room as you.

Then you really CAN be in two places at once.
Think of the possibilities!

Well, all fancy pants things aside, there's two commands it'd be nice for clones to be able to use - up and down.

As for the would be nice to have: get and sneak.

The helpfile for bunshin really should also have the number of bunshins (both max and how to make multiple at one time) in it. Speaking of which... mizu bunshin doesn't seem able to make more then a single clone at a time.

i dunno if this is the case right now....havn't played with bunshins much yet. but i think if a bunshin picks something up in its inventory, when it poofs, the items should drop where it poofs. that way if one clone ends up with something they shouldn't, it'll drop if the clone goes away and whatnot. anyways, just my idear. (ignore if this happens already)

Actually, to be true to Naruto, Bunshins when they die return all of the information that they learned back to the owner of them.

Therefore, if you give something to a Bunshin, it should be magically returned to the owner of the Bunshin as at when the Bunshin dies / is dismissed.
