ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

if i copy the talent code without changing it (must change name of course), it makes it have radius 0 instead of 3 that it usually starts with.
I looked a lot of places like in celestial class but failed to see what makes the talent start with radius 3 instead of 0.

original radiance code just renamed:

newTalent{
short_name = "X_LIGHT",
name = "4th Light Tesseract",
type = {"celestial/radiance", 1},
mode = "passive",
require = divi_req1,
points = 5,
radius = function(self, t) return self:combatTalentScale(t, 3, 7) end,
getResist = function(self, t) return self:combatTalentLimit(t, 100, 25, 75) end,
passives = function(self, t, p)
self:talentTemporaryValue(p, "radiance_aura", radianceRadius(self))
self:talentTemporaryValue(p, "blind_immune", t.getResist(self, t) / 100)
end,
info = function(self, t)
return ([[You are so infused with sunlight that your body glows permanently in radius %d, even in dark places.
Your vision adapts to this glow, giving you %d%% blindness resistance.
The light radius overrides your normal light if it is bigger (it does not stack).
]]):
format(radianceRadius(self), t.getResist(self, t))
end,
}

if illumination is added:

"All enemies in your Radiance aura have their invisibility and stealth power reduced by %d.
In addition, all actors affected by illumination are easier to see and therefore hit; their defense is reduced by %d and all evasion bonuses from being unseen are negated."

So since the PC is radiating light, the PC is easier to see, defense is reduced, invis and stealth and evasion negated.... Does this effect the PC??? I see some talents clearly state they make it so you cant stealth, and that makes sense if you are lit up like a lightbulb, but why would I want to lower my defense and evasion? and then with 0 radius, there is no one getting this curse but the PC!

Did you copy radianceRadius() as well, and change the self:getTalentRadius(self:getTalentFromId(self.T_RADIANCE)) line?

oh yeah i copied this:


function radianceRadius(self)
if self:hasEffect(self.EFF_RADIANCE_DIM) then
return 1
else
return self:getTalentRadius(self:getTalentFromId(self.T_RADIANCE))
end
end




edit: oh......

well now the text SAYS it increases the radius, however, in character sheet there is no increase (still 2, not 4), and under current effects it doesnt say anything but it DOES add the 50% blind resistance (talent at lvl 2).

i dont see a lua error code in the log.
does show
Activating non activable or sustainable talent: T_X_LIGHT :: 4th Light Tesseract :: passive

this is the current code, just added the part copied in from illumination (i think these two should be combined anyway):


function radianceRadius(self)
if self:hasEffect(self.EFF_RADIANCE_DIM) then
return 1
else
return self:getTalentRadius(self:getTalentFromId(self.T_X_LIGHT))
end
end


newTalent{
short_name = "X_LIGHT",
name = "4th Light Tesseract",
type = {"race/Chrono_Xorn", 1},
mode = "passive",
require = race_req1,
points = 5,
radius = function(self, t) return self:combatTalentScale(t, 3, 7) end,
getResist = function(self, t) return self:combatTalentLimit(t, 100, 25, 75) end,
getPower = function(self, t) return 15 + self:combatTalentSpellDamage(t, 1, 100) end,
getDef = function(self, t) return 5 + self:combatTalentSpellDamage(t, 1, 35) end,
passives = function(self, t, p)
self:talentTemporaryValue(p, "radiance_aura", radianceRadius(self))
self:talentTemporaryValue(p, "blind_immune", t.getResist(self, t) / 100)
end,
callbackOnActBase = function(self, t)
local radius = radianceRadius(self)
local grids = core.fov.circle_grids(self.x, self.y, radius, true)
for x, yy in pairs(grids) do for y, _ in pairs(grids[x]) do local target = game.level.map(x, y, Map.ACTOR) if target and self ~= target then
if (self:reactionToward(target) < 0) then
target:setEffect(target.EFF_ILLUMINATION, 1, {power=t.getPower(self, t), def=t.getDef(self, t)})
local ss = self:isTalentActive(self.T_SEARING_SIGHT)
if ss then
local dist = core.fov.distance(self.x, self.y, target.x, target.y) - 1
local coeff = math.max(0.1, 1 - (0.1*dist)) -- 10% less damage per distance
DamageType:get(DamageType.LIGHT).projector(self, target.x, target.y, DamageType.LIGHT, ss.dam * coeff)
if ss.daze and rng.percent(ss.daze) and target:canBe("stun") then
target:setEffect(target.EFF_DAZED, 3, {apply_power=self:combatSpellpower()})
end
end
end
end end end
end,

info = function(self, t)
return ([[You are so infused with sunlight that your body glows permanently in radius %d, even in dark places.
Your vision adapts to this glow, giving you %d%% blindness resistance.
The light radius overrides your normal light if it is bigger (it does not stack).

]]):
format(radianceRadius(self), t.getResist(self, t), t.getPower(self, t), t.getDef(self, t))
end,
}

the illumination part seems to work at range 4, shows on enemies,

But the character sheet shows visible light 0, (if unequip lantern), not 4 that this talent claims it should be, right?

and no "current effect" listed for this passive doing something.

"The light radius overrides your normal light if it is bigger (it does not stack)." not doing this, according to character sheet.

edit:
well as long as this is the only issue i dont care since 2 lantern slots anyway deals with light.

The radiance radius isn't a light radius, and doesn't show on the character sheet, no.

isnt that odd though if a light radius isnt a light radius?

"The light radius overrides your normal light if it is bigger" so that's sure what it seems to say.

If it was a true light radius it would show up on your character sheet, wouldn't it? My guess, it's a programming thing.
