EXAMPLE:
Say you have an attack that you want to do 50% of the target's HP as damage. So, a target with 1000 health would take 500 damage, and then 500 damage the next time, killing it. You would say "50% of Maximum", and then set the bitset, so instead of setting the health to that, it will do that much damage.
Edit: And, actually, I did just that. |
Sweet!  Will it be in a nightly..?
Thank you very much! :3 |

Ideally, this percentage thing should be chosen on an attack by attack basis.
My idea about having attacks be able to 'record damage' could do this, I think. As for right now, if this is not in a nightly, I think you may be able to simulate the idea if you are not using the counter stat for anything else. It would be a major pain, though. |

Ok a few things.

It should be right now.

No. It really looks like that, but no. Essentially, it calculates the damage that would be required to bring the stat to whatever percentage you specify. It's (something) like this:
harm = current HP - (max HP / 100 * extra damage)
If it's based on current HP, replace max HP with current HP.
The new bitset removes the subtraction, so it does damage equal to the percentage.

Well, as far as I know, a single save slot is just a bunch of arrays dumped sequentially. As for why it's not on the wiki, I suspect that no one remembered it, because it's not technically a lump, and not part of the RPG format.

Cool, you have SAV documentation? I don't think it shouldn't be on the wiki. (I went through non-thoroughly once and wrote it down myself, on a scrap of paper somewhere, but yeah, it is mostly simple.)
| Code: | Damage Equation:
0 = Normal: Atk - Def*.5
1 = Blunt: Atk*.8 - Def*.1
2 = Sharp: Atk*1.3 - Def
3 = Pure Damage
4 = No Damage
5 = Set target stat to (100+extra damage)% of Max
6 = Set target stat to (100+extra damage)% of Current |
I was thinking about this, wouldn't it be far cleaner to add an extra two settings there (eg. "Damage equal to 100% of Max") than to add a bitset? Of course, you've already implemented it, and we store nearly any setting as bitsets...

Me too, but that's because the extra bitset is only needed if you want to add or subject a percentage of max: you can already do current, just set the extra damage to 130% for example.
