Balance

[katogoon]

Hi,

Using all engines from the mirage source, Xtreme worlds, playerworlds ect...

Is there anyway of working out any kind of balance for example finding out how much damage you will do on a monster?

Thank you,

What? I dont understand what you mean.

GetPlayerDamage(index) - enemydef = damage

Basicly using the mirage engine, is there anyway to work out some kind of calculation eg. lets say STR is 12, monster DEF 6
you have no weapon for aditional damage, so STR 12 - Monster DEF 6 = 6 then divide by 2 = (3) so the damage on that monster will be 3.

Is there any calculation like that to work out damage.

Search for: Function GetPlayerDamage
And you'll find this:
[code]Function GetPlayerDamage(ByVal Index As Long) As Long
Dim WeaponSlot As Long

GetPlayerDamage = 0

' Check for subscript out of range
If IsPlaying(Index) = False Or Index MAX_PLAYERS Then
Exit Function
End If

GetPlayerDamage = Int(GetPlayerSTR(Index) / 2)

If GetPlayerDamage 0 Then
WeaponSlot = GetPlayerWeaponSlot(Index)

GetPlayerDamage = GetPlayerDamage + Item(GetPlayerInvItemNum(Index, WeaponSlot)).Data2

Call SetPlayerInvItemDur(Index, WeaponSlot, GetPlayerInvItemDur(Index, WeaponSlot) - 1)

If GetPlayerInvItemDur(Index, WeaponSlot)

I'm not sure if understand what i mean, i was wondering if there was a calculation to work out damage amounts.

You do know mirage source is actually a source code in visual basic. And unless you know programming, you should use a compilled.

If you don't know programming, go use Playerworlds

Yeah, I would actually recommend Playerworlds, seems like they got some great things going. And hopefully they wont fuck it all up.

I think whats hes asking is what defines how much a player does on a NPC and how does he change it?
