A Question

[blueknight1758]

Ok I'm trying to code an ability that on the start of a new turn all enemy units resistances are halved to a minimum of 20, the trouble is I can't think how to code it, can someone help me?

[perseo]

I've got a doubt: What do you understand for resistance? The hitpoints or the defence from the terrain?

[StDrake]

resistance is resistance, but there's something about this description that makes me not want to help
- ALL enemy units on the map, or just some? And what units aside for enemies should be affected?
- is the reduction supposed to be forever? if not, how are the resistances supposed to go back up?
- if you didn't indeed mistake resistance with something else - did you note that most units have less or exactly 20% of any resistance ?

[Ceres]

Also, do you want negative resistances to get higher or lower?

[blueknight1758]

Ok as it seems I was unclear on what i meant here goes again, the resistance to weapons of units next to the unit with this abilities should be halved until the turn is over, unless they are still by the unit with the ability

[StDrake]

Code: Select all

[resistance]
#fill those as desired
id=
name=
description=
affect_self=no
affect_allies=no
affect_enemies=yes
[affect_adjacent]
adjacent=n,ne,se,s,sw,nw
[/affect_adjacent]
[filter_base_value]
greater_than_equal_to=40
[/filter_base_value]
multiply=0.5
max_value=100
[/resistance]
[resistance]
#use the exact same id you entered above
id=
affect_self=no
affect_allies=no
affect_enemies=yes
[affect_adjacent]
adjacent=n,ne,se,s,sw,nw
[/affect_adjacent]
[filter_base_value]
greater_than_equal_to=20
less_than=40
[/filter_base_value]
value=20
max_value=100
[/resistance]

strange, seems that tag takes resists directly, not reverse
want a tutorial why it's done this way?

[blueknight1758]

yes please! and thank you for the coding it is very useful.
