Ammo creation

[Repton]

Currently, the ammo creation affects success rate and ego chance. If you're willing to spend long enough sitting on the rest key, you can overcome these obstacles. I don't think it's good to encourage boring play like that.

My idea: more ranks in ammo creation gives you a better chance at good ammo.

e.g. change this line:

Code: Select all

local o = game.zone:makeEntity(game.level, "object", {type="ammo", subtype=st, ego_chance=ego}, nil, true)

To this (untested):

Code: Select all

local alevel = game.level - 4 + 2*self:getTalentLevel(t)
local o = game.zone:makeEntity(alevel, "object", {type="ammo", subtype=st, ego_chance=ego}, nil, true)

I do not think I understand what this should achieve

BTW to add levels to the generation code you must do somerthing like that:

Code: Select all

local o = game.zone:makeEntity(game.level, "object", {type="ammo", subtype=st, ego_chance=ego, add_levels=alevel}, nil, true)

The first parameter is a Level object, not just a number

Oh well, that's what I get for taking things at face value instead of knowing what I'm doing

It was meant to achieve generation at a deeper dungeon level, if you put ranks in it. I thought game.level was just the dungeon level

So 1 rank in ammo creation would give you ammo as though you were in a shallower dungeon, 2-3 ranks would be about normal level, and 4 and 5 ranks would give you better ammo than you would find normally (even before the ego change).
