Items - Wielder stat scaling
Posted: Tue Aug 31, 2021 6:45 pm
I'm currently working on an Addon that adds a bunch of new ego affixes and semi-random rares with interesting abilities and running into a roadblock with trying to make an item whose bonuses scale with certain stats.
I've kind-of-sort-of got it working using the on_wear function, but the downside is that the bonus there does not update as the player's stat updates until the item is removed and re-equipped. What I would really like to do is have it set directly in the actual Wielder section, like [DamageType.LIGHT] = who:getMag(), but it doesnt seem to like that and trying to wrap the wielder section in a function so that I can reference 'who' has not worked either.
I've also tried setting a value higher up on the item, like scale_stat_bonus1 = function(self, who) return who:getMag()end, and then doing [DamageType.LIGHT] = scale_stat_bonus1, but no luck on that either.
Going back the on_wear, I've tried hacking together a CallbackonAct to update the stats when worn, but it just doesn't work correctly.
I haven't been able to find any items or egos that do this specifically, the Eternity and Untouchable Artifacts are close, but not quite, so I figured I would ask here to see if there is something simple I am missing since I am relatively new to modding Tome. It is interesting to note that the special_desc updates its bonuses on the fly as the player's stat's change, but I can't get that behavior to carry over.
Any help or pointing in the right direction would be much appreciated. The code for the item in question is below.
