Defending in my battle system...

[frytkosz-555]

I am making a battle system and am trying to figure out how to make enable the player character and the enemy to be able to defend from the upcoming attack so here is what i need to figure out:

1. How to subtract the defence value from the attack value.
2. How to make the defence "Stay" up until the defending characters next move.

Here is the code:


Thank you for your help.

...1. How to subtract the defence value from the attack value.
2. How to make the defence "Stay" up until the defending characters next move. ...

You can make a variable to store enemy's defense.
Try

Code: Select all

default enemy_defense = 0
label battle:
    while (enemy_hp >0) and (hero_hp > 0):
        menu:
            "Attack":
                $ dmg = renpy.random.randint(2.5)
                $ enemy_hp -= max(0, dmg - enemy_defense)
                # if enemy_defense is greater than hero's dmg
                # then enemy_hp will be reduced by 0
                # (make the same for all attacks)

        $ enemy_defense = 0 # defense is working for 1 move only

        if enemy_hp > 0:
            $ randaction = renpy.random.choice(["attack", "defend"]):
            if randaction == "defend":
                $ enemy_defense = 4

So I implemented some of the stuff from the post above, now the enemy can defend themselves but when the value of defence exceeds the value of the MC's attack then the enemy heals themselves by the value of the difference betweent he two and I don't want them to do that, how can I fix that?

Code: Select all

$ enemy_hp -= max(0, dmg - enemy_defense)

Thanks Alex I applied that and now it works perfectly.
