Levels are confusing.

[Crestonia]

I'm trying to configure the max HP Sanity and Hunger my character has. But it keeps going up 1 per level, I want it to go up by 2 or 5. Does anyone know how to do that?

(If anyone knows, please post somewhere in prefab, I'm kindof clueless when it comes to scripting.)

@Crestonia, upload your character.lua file so that others may take a look at your code to determine where it would be more efficient to help you.

@Crestonia, this is where you would change it in your code.

 

inst.components.hunger.max = math.ceil (150 + upgrades + 10) --300inst.components.health.maxhealth = math.ceil (100 + upgrades + 10) --250inst.components.sanity.max = math.ceil (90 + upgrades + 10) --240 

math.ceil (x)

Returns the smallest integer larger than or equal to x.

 

Reference: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#

   

I'm not quite sure how you get 250 when you have 100 + upgrades + 10; it should be 1300 with a max upgrades of 30. Alternatively you might want to remove 'upgrades' from the equation as every time you upgrade you will receive more health. This isn't necessarily what you want to achieve with the number of upgrades set to 30 (30 x 30) at maximum upgrades you should receive 900 total health, not including any additional health. If we add the additional health (10 x 30) at maximum updates you should receive 300 total health. If we were to add those together it would be 1200 total health from upgrades, plus the starting health of 100.

 

Alternatively you should try using:

inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(100 + upgrades + 10)inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150 + upgrades + 10 )inst.components.sanity:SetMax(90 + upgrades + 10) 

 

Instead of the following:

inst.components.hunger.max = math.ceil (150 + upgrades + 10) --300inst.components.health.maxhealth = math.ceil (100 + upgrades + 10) --250inst.components.sanity.max = math.ceil (90 + upgrades + 10) --240 

 

Try using an equation like the following which will give you a static health increase.

-- This equation will add 50 health each level up.MATH_HEALTH = MAX_HEALTH + (MAX_HEALTH / UPGRADES)

 

There is probably a better equation for doing something like this, but I don't want to get into advanced math in order to test a function. The more advanced your math the finer tuning you will be able to make the amount of health you get back.

@Kzisor

Where are you getting the number 1300 from?

 

Having the variable upgrades in his equation isn't an issue either since he has a static value set for the minimum value.

 

@Crestonia

The issue you are having is how you have your equation setup. This is essentially what you are telling it right now.

-- upgrades = 1max_health = math.ceil(150 + upgrades + 10)-- 150 + 1 + 10 = 161 -- upgrades = 2max_health = math.ceil(150 + upgrades + 10)-- 150 + 2 + 10 = 162...-- upgrades = 30max_health = math.ceil(150 + upgrades + 10)-- 150 + 30 + 10 = 190

Now I am not sure how you want to setup your health increase but lets say it is a static 50 hp/level as Kzisor had mentioned. Since you have a static base value you could simply multiply to the upgrades value.

-- will add 50 hp per upgrade-- upgrades = 1max_health = math.ceil(150 + (upgrades * 50))-- 150 + (1 * 50) = 200 -- upgrades = 2max_health = math.ceil(150 + (upgrades * 50))-- 150 + (2 * 50) = 250...-- upgrades = 30max_health = math.ceil(150 + (upgrades * 50))-- 150 + (30 * 50) = 1650

You can make the formula anyway you want as long as you have an idea of how you want health to be incremented.

This is second time I try to preview a post I reply to and the tags seem to be broken in preview mode. I am not sure if final post will retain the broken tags but I apologize to anyone who has to see it without code blocks working.

[Kzisor]

@Ubiquitous, Yeah I see where I made the mistake in thinking it was using the maximum health value. I was looking at several things at once when I was replying to this (specifically wx78's code) and I got them mixed up.

[Crestonia]

@Kzisor

I tried to use the 

inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(100 + upgrades + 10)

inst.components.hunger:SetMax(150 + upgrades + 10 )

inst.components.sanity:SetMax(90 + upgrades + 10) 

But all of them kept going up by just one.

@Ubiquitous

and using this 

-- will add 50 hp per upgrade

-- upgrades = 1

max_health = math.ceil(150 + (upgrades * 50))

-- 150 + (1 * 50) = 200

 

-- upgrades = 2

max_health = math.ceil(150 + (upgrades * 50))

-- 150 + (2 * 50) = 250

.

.

.

-- upgrades = 30

max_health = math.ceil(150 + (upgrades * 50))

-- 150 + (30 * 50) = 1650

Made my game crash. e.e

[SenL]

"inst.components.sanity:SetMax(90 + upgrades + 10) 

But all of them kept going up by just one."

 

It's correct because if upgrades=1, then it's 90+1+10

If upgrades=2, then it's 90+2+10

 

Crash? But what is "max_health"?

Check the log.

 

Also post the lua - that'll help us see issues.

[Kzisor]

@Crestonia, the reason why it's only increasing by 1 is because your equation is only telling it to increase by 1.

 

90+upgrades+10 is effectively 100+upgrades

 

You need a more advanced equation if you are wanting to have it increase by more. Instead of a static number of 90 you need the equation to have the maxhealth value in it's place.

 

inst.components.health:SetMaxHealth(inst.components.health.maxhealth + upgrades + 10)

Thanks for all the help guys, It's fixed now ^ ^
