Monster resistance list

[minmay]

There are 5 resistance levels for monsters in Grimrock 2 other than the default (nothing) so I ran some trials (i.e. 100000 damageTile calls each) to figure out the exact numbers for them:
"absorb" - Heals for 1x the damage
"immune" - Takes 0 damage (duh)
"resist" - Takes 0.5x damage
"weak" - Takes 1.5x damage
"vulnerable" - Takes 2.0x damage

That is all.

I wanted to share - a Poison Cloud that will reduce a monster's level of resistance to poison

Seems like the place to post this up.... (I think some of this script was originally yours minmay)

The Poison Cloud definition:

If you want the particle effect I use here (no custom textures) then:

It calls a function 'changeResistances(monster, newResistances, text, colour)'
........ in a script entity 'customBrainScripts'

Code: Select all

function changeResistances(monster, newResistances, text, colour)
    local damageTypes = {"fire","cold","shock","poison","physical","dispel"}
    local resists = {}
    for r,b in ipairs(damageTypes) do
		resists[b] = newResistances[b] or monster:getResistance(b)
    end
	if text and colour then
		monster:showDamageText(text, colour)
	end
    monster:setResistances(resists)
end

Also... here are some DamageText colour examples
---------monster:showDamageText("......text.......", "FFFF00")
