Talent: Mark a summon to block hits for a single turn
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2015 7:59 pm
I have a talent that has a fairly simple concept. If one of your ghouls is active and you take a hit greater than x% of your life, it will absorb x% of damage taken for a single turn (along with some other unimportant details). While getting it to absorb damage from the single hit is easy enough, I can't seem to find a way to make the 'whole turn' part work. My idea was to apply a 1 turn buff similar to the Link of Pain talent that would handle the absorb, but I can't seem to pass in the chosen minion as a value, as it returns an error that blocker is null. Here's the code below, does anyone know either how to fix this or a better way to handle this idea?
Code: Select all
newTalent{
name = "Meat Shield",
type = {"spell/undeath", 2},
require = techs_req2,
points = 5,
mode = "passive",
getLifeTrigger = function(self, t) return self:combatTalentLimit(t, 10, 30, 15) end,
getDamageSplit = function(self, t) return self:combatTalentLimit(t, 80, 20, 60)/100 end, -- Limit < 80%
callbackOnHit = function(self, t, cb, src)
local split = cb.value * t.getDamageSplit(self, t)
if self.max_life and not self.turn_procs.ghoulblock then --and cb.value >= self.max_life * (t.getLifeTrigger(self, t)/100) then
-- Look for space for the ghoul to jump
local tx, ty = util.findFreeGrid(self.x, self.y, 1, true, {[Map.ACTOR]=true})
if tx and ty then
local acts = {}
for uid, act in pairs(game.level.entities) do
if act.summoner and act.summoner == self and act.ms then
acts[#acts+1] = act
end
end
for i = 1, 1 do
if #acts <= 0 then
break end
local m, id = rng.table(acts)
table.remove(acts, id)
self.turn_procs.ghoulblock = true
m.ms = 0
cb.value = cb.value - (split)
-- split the damage
-- m:takeHit(split, src)
-- m:setTarget(src or nil)
-- game:delayedLogMessage(self, nil, "ghoul_damage", "#DARK_GREEN##Source# shares damage with %s ghoul!", string.his_her(self))
-- game:delayedLogDamage(src or self, self, 0, ("#DARK_GREEN#(%d shared)#LAST#"):format(split), nil)
self:setEffect(self.EFF_LIFELINK, 1, {power= t.getDamageSplit(self, t), blocker=m, src=self})
end
else
game.logPlayer(self, "Not enough space for the ghoul to block!")
end
end
return cb.value
end,
info = function(self, t)
local trigger = t.getLifeTrigger(self, t)
local split = t.getDamageSplit(self, t) * 100
return ([[When a single hit deals more than %d%% of your maximum life one of your ghouls will leap to your side, absorbing %d%% of the damage and all further damage in the same turn.
This can only occur once per ghoul.]]):format(trigger, split, split, duration)
end,
}Code: Select all
newEffect{
name = "LIFELINK",
desc = "Lifelink",
long_desc = function(self, eff) return ("%d%% of all damage you take is taken by a ghoul."):format(eff.power) end,
type = "magical",
subtype = { darkness=true },
status = "beneficial",
parameters = { power=40 },
callbackOnHit = function(self, eff, value, src)
if value.value <= 0 then return end
if eff.blocker.dead then return end
local split = value.value * eff.power
value.value = value.value - (split)
-- split the damage
blocker:takeHit(split, src)
blocker:setTarget(src or nil)
game:delayedLogMessage(self, nil, "ghoul_damage", "#DARK_GREEN##Source# shares damage with %s ghoul!", string.his_her(self))
game:delayedLogDamage(src or self, self, 0, ("#DARK_GREEN#(%d shared)#LAST#"):format(split), nil)
return value.value
end,
}
