Hello,


I need the damage equation to be:

"damage_received = enemy_damage - player_armor"
or
"damage_dealt = player_damage - enemy_armor"

and

"magic_damage_received = enemy_magic_damage + player_armor"
or
"magic_damage_dealt = player_magic_damage + enemy_armor"


Where do I change it? How?


ps: Is "armor" a value or is it percentage?


Thank you.

Armor is a bastard and isn't percentage but just a value. I hate the HC calculation too I guess you'll have to rescript it in player and npc triggers(gethit, hit..)? But I'm not sure, it's pretty complicated that way. Actually the calculation already works as you say... received damage = rand<damage dealt - enemies armor> (told me darksun once ). But the magic damage should go through the triggers again and then you must block the damage, calculate the one you want(reduced by armor) and damage the enemy with that.

But there must be better way. I hope somebody knows it and tell us.

it was newdamage = rand(damage-AR ,damage) , if newdamage <=0 no dfamage at all

I actually like the formula

yeah, i hope someone tell me which line and .scp to change.

But I am using "notepad++" and looking for these you said \o\.

Is that the damage calculation?

I am looking for it right now!

darksun,


I searched "rand(" and it find lots of it, but none as "newdamage = rand(damage-AR ,damage)".

I also searched "newdamage" and it find nothing in my scripts.

Can you tell me where is it?

****EDIT****
Does it count "ARMOR" or "TAG.ResPhysical"? (i prefer ARMOR, and my sphere.ini don't have any events in "events to all players" or "events to all NPCs" (it means that there is not elemental damage, right?))
ANSWER: It does count "TAG.ResPhysical". (So, I put "//" after the "ARMOR=300" line in my script)
****END EDIT****

Well it's not an "official " formula , i just figured it by doing a lot of tests

Ampere, you have to script the events and give players and npcs the triggers. Forever.

Why? I don't want the Elemental damage.

I only want as I said.

Magic_damage = Magic + Armor

Physical_damage = Damage - Armor


Isn't the events only for elemental damages?

Go to sphere.ini and set on EventsPlayer=E_COMBAT

There are problems with that code example that Extreme posted:

Player A casts clumsy (which has spellflag_harm but not spellflag damage) on player B
Player B gets TAG.HITBYSPELL=1 but because no damage was dealt, @GetHit is not triggered
Player C walks over and hits Player B with a sword
Player B still has TAG.HITBYSPELL=1 so the sword hit results in the "magic damage calculation" instead of "physical damage"
