ARMOUR?

[metal_head]

I couldn't find this in the manual so I'm asking it here.How can I make an Armour attribute which is not activated from the inventory,but when you pick up an attribute you gain armour?

I put this in the armour.ini:

Code: Select all

[armour1]
attribute = health
melee = 80 5
bullet = 50 5
Bolt = 80 5
Explosion = 80 5
Model = 80 5
Melee = 80 5
Fall = 80 5
JumpOn = 80 5
Actor = 80 5
pistol_shell = 80 5

This in the player.ini

Code: Select all

[armour1]
initial = 100
low = 0
high = 100

and this in the hud.ini

Code: Select all

[armour1]
type = numeric
framex = 10
framey = 10
indicatoroffsetx = 550
indicatoroffsety = 10
font = 7
width = 3

I'm probably mistaking somewere...

Each armour attribute must be placed in the Inventory as a Use item. When you wish to activate an armour type you go to the Inventory and select it. Any other armour type that may be active will be deactivated.

I'm not sure if you can define some kind of default armor but if not, it should be doable with a simple script:

Code: Select all

{
HEALTHATTRIBUTE [health]
ARMORATTRIBUTE [armor]

HEALTHDAMAGE [50.0]
ARMORDAMAGE [20.0]

tmp_health [0]
tmp_damage [0]

Spawn[ ()
{
	LowLevel("setup");
} ]

setup[ ()
{
	PawnRender(false);
	tmp_health = GetAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE,"Player");

	think = "run";
} ]

run[ ()
{
	ThinkTime = 0;

	if((GetAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE,"Player") < tmp_health) and (GetAttribute(ARMORATTRIBUTE,"Player") > 0))
	{
		tmp_damage = tmp_health - GetAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE,"Player");

		ModifyAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE,tmp_damage*(100-HEALTHDAMAGE)/100,"Player");
		ModifyAttribute(ARMORATTRIBUTE,-tmp_damage*ARMORDAMAGE/100,"Player");
	}

	if(GetAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE,"Player") != tmp_health)
	{
		tmp_health = GetAttribute(HEALTHATTRIBUTE,"Player");
	}

} ]

}

HEALTHATTRIBUTE and ARMORATTRIBUTE are pretty obvious, I think. HEALTHDAMAGE and ARMORDAMAGE are the factors for the damage taken by health and armor. 100 = full damage and 0 = no damage. So for example:

Code: Select all

HEALTHDAMAGE [50.0]
ARMORDAMAGE [20.0]

Means that if you have armor, the damage your health takes is 50% of original damage while the armor takes 20% of the damage. So if you take 50 damage in total, your health will take 25 damage and armor 10 damage. Setting both to 0 would make you invulnerable and 100 would make your armor useless as you're taking full damage with or without armor.


***EDIT***
Note: This script won't reduce damage if it's greater than your current health. So if you have 20 health and you receive 50 damage you're going to die, no matter what. That's because the script heals the player after the damage is dealt.
