Shell, Venom, and Body Shots

(1/2) > >>

abyaly:
Could someone tell me how to determine if a body shot or venom shot will be effective against a shelled bot and how to determine how much shell erodes when a bot is attacked?

Numsgil:
I'm on my laptop right now so I can't check, but if you look in shots.bas you should see how shell erodes as it's being attacked.

It's going to be dependant on the strength of the body or venom shot.  I believe body shot strength increases linearly with body.

abyaly:
I've managed to avoid the source code pretty well so far, but it seems like thats the only place the technical info is available  

Numsgil:
If you need any help on figuring it out, just ask

Ok, I see something and I'm not sure if it was meant to behave this way (vers 2.37.6).
The following is part of the code for recieving a body shot:


Shell = rob(n).Shell * ShellEffectiveness
 
  If power < Shell Then
    rob(n).Shell = rob(n).Shell - power / ShellEffectiveness
    If rob(n).Shell < 0 Then rob(n).Shell = 0
    Exit Sub
  Else
    Dim temp As Long
    temp = rob(n).Shell
    rob(n).Shell = rob(n).Shell - power / ShellEffectiveness
    power = power - temp * ShellEffectiveness
    If rob(n).Shell < 0 Then rob(n).Shell = 0
  End If


The following is part of the code for recieving a venom shot:


If Shots(t).FromSpecie = rob(n).fname Then   'Robot is imune to venom from his own species
    rob(n).venom = rob(n).venom + power   'Robot absorbs venom fired by conspec
    rob(n).mem(825) = rob(n).venom
  Else
    If power < rob(n).Shell * ShellEffectiveness Then
      rob(n).Shell = rob(n).Shell - power * ShellEffectiveness
      If rob(n).Shell < 0 Then rob(n).Shell = 0
    Else
      Dim temp As Long
      temp = power
      power = power - rob(n).Shell * ShellEffectiveness
      rob(n).Shell = rob(n).Shell - temp / ShellEffectiveness
      If rob(n).Shell < 0 Then rob(n).Shell = 0
  End If


This is the behavior for 2.37.6, right?
