[Help] balancing out hunger rates or reducing them re: wolfgang template

[Ramrodiger]

I'd like to reduce mighty hunger slightly and increase it just slightly when wimpy. I'm trying to make sense of the following code and am wondering if anyone has any quick tips. Would be greatly appreciated.

local function applymightiness(inst)	local percent = inst.components.hunger:GetPercent()		local damage_mult = TUNING.WOLFGANG_ATTACKMULT_NORMAL	local hunger_rate = TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER_RATE_MULT_NORMAL	local health_max = TUNING.WOLFGANG_HEALTH_NORMAL	local scale = 1	local mighty_scale = 2.5	local wimpy_scale = .9	if inst.strength == "mighty" then		local mighty_start = (TUNING.WOLFGANG_START_MIGHTY_THRESH/TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER)			local mighty_percent = math.max(0, (percent - mighty_start) / (1 - mighty_start))		damage_mult = easing.linear(mighty_percent, TUNING.WOLFGANG_ATTACKMULT_MIGHTY_MIN, TUNING.WOLFGANG_ATTACKMULT_MIGHTY_MAX - TUNING.WOLFGANG_ATTACKMULT_MIGHTY_MIN, 1)		health_max = easing.linear(mighty_percent, TUNING.WOLFGANG_HEALTH_NORMAL, TUNING.WOLFGANG_HEALTH_MIGHTY - TUNING.WOLFGANG_HEALTH_NORMAL, 1)			hunger_rate = easing.linear(mighty_percent, TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER_RATE_MULT_NORMAL, TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER_RATE_MULT_MIGHTY - TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER_RATE_MULT_NORMAL, 1)			scale = easing.linear(mighty_percent, 1, mighty_scale - 1, 1)		elseif inst.strength == "wimpy" then		local wimpy_start = (TUNING.WOLFGANG_START_WIMPY_THRESH/TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER)			local wimpy_percent = math.min(1, percent/wimpy_start )		damage_mult = easing.linear(wimpy_percent, TUNING.WOLFGANG_ATTACKMULT_WIMPY_MIN, TUNING.WOLFGANG_ATTACKMULT_WIMPY_MAX - TUNING.WOLFGANG_ATTACKMULT_WIMPY_MIN, 1)		health_max = easing.linear(wimpy_percent, TUNING.WOLFGANG_HEALTH_WIMPY, TUNING.WOLFGANG_HEALTH_NORMAL - TUNING.WOLFGANG_HEALTH_WIMPY, 1)			hunger_rate = easing.linear(wimpy_percent, TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER_RATE_MULT_WIMPY, TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER_RATE_MULT_NORMAL - TUNING.WOLFGANG_HUNGER_RATE_MULT_WIMPY, 1)			scale = easing.linear(wimpy_percent, wimpy_scale, 1 - wimpy_scale, 1)		end

@Ramrodiger:

Linear equation.

Slope by X plus axis intersection value.

 

Then, for example:

hunger_rate = mighty_percent + 1.5
m_p = 0 then h_r = 1.5
m_p = 1 then h_r = 2.5

 

Which is slightly less, right?

(The equivalent to easing.linear(mighty_percent, 1.5, 1, 1))
