Thread: Better combat triangle for hybriding? 718 matrix

I'm trying to implement a better combat system;

i.e special attacks hit more accurately and reasonably higher when target is wearing mage or range gear (robes or hides)

and magic is more accurate when opponent is wearing melee gear

where would i start and what would i do? (please dont just comment "playercombat.java" or something like that )

i dont want to edit the soaking formula to do this (lol, thats what ive been told to do)

If you look at the bottom of buttonhandler there is the code to get the soaking bonuses.

What you want to edit it probably a method called getRandomHit() or getRandom().

Make a statement somewhere about the soaking damage giving a Utils.getRandom() chance of missing. So like:

Code:

if (target instance of Player) {
Player player2 = (Player) target;
if (Utils.getRandom(100-player2.getSoakingDamageMage) == 0)//or < 10 or something like that
hit = 0;
}

also why buttonhandler

In buttonhandler there is a thing for Equipment bonuses. If you want to do something with soaking, you can directly copy a few lines from there.

What the code does is:

If (the oponent is a player) {
it declares the oponent as a player;
if (you roll a dice with (100-the soaking bonuses of the target) faces and that it lands on 0) {
you don't hit anything;
}
}
