Armour Systems.

Bladezyboo

So, I'm adding a combat system to the game. I have the chances to hit and stuff all worked out, but for armour, I need some help. The general idea is around the code

<<set $health - $damage-$armour>>

But this could mean that the player gets healed if the damage is less than the armour. How would I go around solving this? It probably has a simple answer, but I cant figure it out.

Try this:


<<if $damage - $armor gt 0>><<set $health -= $damage - $armor>><<endif>>

You may find doing it longhand will be more conducive to future expansion:

<<set $damage -= $armour>>

<<if $damage gt 0>>
<<set $health -= $damage>>
<<print "You are hit for " + damage + " points>>
<<endif>>

...allows you to insert things like...

<<if $affects[stoneskin] = 1>>
<<$dmage -= 20>>
<<endif>>

...without ending up with a terrible tangle of ifs.

Thanks both of you, that should work. I think I could use both, in a way.
