Can gain health by getting attacked. about adventureroad HOT 7 CLOSED

It is. It seems like something I can't fix, although I have tried in many ways to code it differently. I thought what I had done worked.

I'll try to fix it again and I will see.

Did the health go back down after?

It's hard to tell. I got attacked pretty much immediately after that, I believe, so I'm not sure if it resolved itself or not. I think you could potentially just insert some logic at the bottom of your damage calculation.

As a suggestion:

(if: $damage < 0)[
    (set: $damage to 0)
]

Or something, I don't know what exactly you're working with. Probably better than testing health to see if it's over the max (which you should still also do, if you are doing so).

Just my two cents. Cool game, though, I quite liked it.

I am currently using a variable as an equalizer, here is what it looks like:

`(elseif: $turn is "enemy")[

(link: "Continue")[

(set: $log to "enemy")

(set: $turn to "you")

(if: $dp > $eap)[

(set: $equalizer = $dp - $eap)

(set: $hp to it - $equalizer)

]
(else:)[

(set: $hp to it - $eap)

(set: $hp to it + $dp)]

(goto: "Combat")]]

(if: $ehp > $mhp)[(set: $ehp to $mhp)]

(if: $hp > $maxhp)[(set: $hp to $maxhp)]

(if: $hp <1)[(goto: "lose")]

(if: $ehp <1)[(goto: "Win")]`

It should work, but I don't see why it doesn't.

Sorry. Trying to comment on my phone and messed it all up.

That's alright. I also checked your profile out and if you need help on your holy land project I'd be happy to help

(if: $dp > $eap)[

(set: $equalizer = $dp - $eap)

(set: $hp to it - $equalizer)

]
(else:)[

(set: $hp to it - $eap)

(set: $hp to it + $dp)]

...

This will stop it, but doesn't it also mess up how defense works? If we plug in numbers, assuming player defense is 3 and enemy attack is 2 for sake of ease:

(if: 3 > 2)[

(set: 1 = 3 - 2)

(set: $hp to it - 1)

]

So having HP that is higher than the enemy's attack power actually increases the damage you take. At least that's my read of it, based on this code.

Maybe something like this to replace the whole thing?

(unless: $dp > $eap)[

(set: $hp to it - $eap)

(set: $hp to it + $dp)]

...

Then, no damage is taken if defense is >= to attack power.

Or, if you want to have some type of minimum damage:

(if: $dp > $eap)[
    (set: $hp to it - 1)
](else:)[
    (set: $hp to it - $eap)
    (set: $hp to it + $dp)
]

...

Awesome, thank you. I'll be needing some testing help sooner rather than later. I saw you filled out the form on my devlog. I'll be in touch. I'm hoping to get a handful of Twine creators together so we can all share the testing load with each other.

Thank you a lot, I will be using that code

(unless: $dp > $eap)[

(set: $hp to it - $eap)

(set: $hp to it + $dp)]

The problem with my code is I was supposed to take away the $equalizer after having been healed whatever amount, but the problem was that I closed the bracket and put an else block, therefore removing the normal "healing" and thus removing the equalizer number from the health.

And I can't wait to test your game, seems like you have been working on it for far longer than I have.

I think I can close this now, so I will do so, thanks again.
