Damage Scaling on Lower Sanity

[MemphisMyst]

I was wondering if there was a way to scale damage higher the lower sanity gets. Is an incremental scaling based off the character losing sanity is something that would be possible of would I have to do it based off it they hit X amount?

Damage based on sanity should be possible. @SuperDavid did something similar if i'm not wrong, but i'm not sure.

[. . .]

I only know how to raise the damage at a set number like this,

Spoiler

inst:ListenForEvent("sanitydelta", function(inst, data)
    if inst.components.sanity.current >= 30 then
       inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 1.5
    elseif inst.components.sanity.current <= 30 then
       inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = 2
    end
end)

 

I don't know how to scale the damage multiplier with max sanity, unfortunately...

Maths.

inst:ListenForEvent(
    "sanitydelta",
    function(inst, data)
        inst.components.combat.damagemultiplier = (1.0-inst.components.sanity:GetPercent())*4.0+1.0
    end
)

At zero sanity, multiplier is 5.0.

At maximum sanity, multiplier is 1.0.

Linear scaling in between.

Fortunately SuperDavid was able to help me with a few of my issues that I had with the mod prior; this was just something I was seeing if it was possible.

That should scale the damage to a multiplier of 2.0 at zero sanity right?

(1,0 - 0.0) *1.0 + 1.0 = 2.0 so yes

Thanks; I just wanted to make sure I understood the line. Thanks to everyone whom helped me with the character!

If that's all you're wanting to scale it by then you can simplify the expression down and shorten calculations via:

2.0-inst.components.sanity:GetPercent()

Hi! I'm very new to modding and I was wondering; How do you define the sanitydelta variable? I was trying to create a character that does something similar. Thanks in advance!

@CarlZalph Sorry for the ping!
