Enemys heal me arggg

Well, It's a pity but today my neurons are asleep

I have variables:

PlayerLife: current hp of player

Max_Player_life: maximum hp the player have.

Defense: subtract from enemy damage a bit quantity.

So if a bullet do as damage:

subtract 5-Defense from PlayerLife[/code:2z0s05jl]

If Defense is greater than 5, PlayerLife grows...  

what would be your solution?

A really easy way is to make defense a percentage of damage reduction. ie, 10% and ugradable to 15%, 20% etc etc.

Then you only need to do:

Subtract (Damage * PlayerDefense) from PlayerLife.

PlayerDefense default = 1.0 = no damage reduction. If you want 10%, then just make it 0.9 and the player will take only 90% of the damage.

Otherwise you will have to add a trigger prior to doing that calculation.

ie. If Damage < PlayerDefense = destroy bullet only, no damage calculation.

Else, do the damage - defense calculation and subtract it from life.

Edit: Both works, its what I do for my games. But the first method is better because it has one less event check, so it runs faster on mobiles.

5 - (minus) Defense?

Is "Defense" greater than 5?

Because MINUS + MINUS = PLUS

Use the system expression clamp.

— thanks very much!! I think percentage in damage reduction is a good choise

Anyway I am using just now the clamp, testing it...

thanks Kyatric

I remember the day I discovered clamp(), my life changed forever
