Deal damage to party

[Emera Nova]

So I'm thinking of making a puzzle that as you do it the party takes damage, problem I could see happening with it would be it breaking if a champion is already dead.

So I'm guessing the script would need to first check to see if each champion is still alive, and if not skip that champion for the damage. And then it would need to deal the damage to other champions.

Idea's on the script itself?

damaging dead champions is not a problem unless perhaps you try to do it in a really weird way like with setHealth

So I have this which I thought would be the answer to the deal damage to party but its not working so something is wrong.

Code: Select all

function Damage()
	party.party:getChampion:damage(5, fire)
end

You have to specify which champion is meant. Also you have to bring fire into quotationmarks:

Code: Select all

function Damage()
   party.party:getChampion(1):damage(5, "fire")
end

This will deal damage only to champion number one.

O was so close with that makes sense that you would have to tell it which one tho. ^-^its working now tho so yay! xD Now to just solve my gun problems and I'll be set to move on with my dungeon.

Well, you can either loop through the party, or use damageTile on the party's location.

Code: Select all

function partyDamage()
for x = 1,4 do
   local t = party.party:getChampion(x) 
   t:damage(5, "fire")
   playSound("damage_"..t:getRace().."_"..t:getSex())
end
end

Code: Select all

function partyDamage()
  damageTile(party.level, party.x, party.y, party.facing, party.elevation, 512, "fire", 5)
  for x = 1,4 do
   local t = party.party:getChampion(x) 
   playSound("damage_"..t:getRace().."_"..t:getSex())
end
end

This would work also

Code: Select all

function Damage()
   party.party:getChampion(1):damage(5, "fire")
   party.party:getChampion(2):damage(5, "fire")
   party.party:getChampion(3):damage(5, "fire")
   party.party:getChampion(4):damage(5, "fire")
end

Sometimes solutions are very obvious...

This is good too. I wonder why damageTile and :damage() do not cause champion sounds for the injury?
