[b42] remove Mind damage ct effects for bumps and on hits
Posted: Fri Oct 05, 2012 11:23 pm
The code for mind damage applies to *ALL* mind damage, so if I put equipment that does 1 mind damage say when I'm hit, every npc has to save (my Mind POwer vs their Mental Save) or suffer brainlocking. Similarly, any weapon that does mind damage.
No other damage types have this, and it makes mind attacks from equipment for both player and npc too powerful in my view.
My suggestion is that it should be limited to mind damage from talents, such as the many doomed talents.
Code: Select all
newDamageType{
name = "mind", type = "MIND", text_color = "#YELLOW#",
projector = function(src, x, y, type, dam)
local target = game.level.map(x, y, Map.ACTOR)
if target then
local mindpower, mentalresist, alwaysHit, crossTierChance
if _G.type(dam) == "table" then dam, mindpower, mentalresist, alwaysHit, crossTierChance = dam.dam, dam.mindpower, dam.mentalresist, dam.alwaysHit, dam.crossTierChance end
local hit_power = mindpower or src:combatMindpower()
if alwaysHit or target:checkHit(hit_power, mentalresist or target:combatMentalResist(), 0, 95, 15) then
if crossTierChance and rng.percent(crossTierChance) then
target:crossTierEffect(target.EFF_BRAINLOCKED, src:combatMindpower())
end
return DamageType.defaultProjector(src, x, y, type, dam)
else
game.logSeen(target, "%s resists the mind attack!", target.name:capitalize())
return DamageType.defaultProjector(src, x, y, type, dam / 2)
end
end
return 0
end,
death_message = {"psyched", "mentally tortured", "mindraped"},
}My suggestion is that it should be limited to mind damage from talents, such as the many doomed talents.
