Imagine the char below, a Spartan that in his turn attacks and in the opponent turn tris to block. What would be the logic behind the block process? I just don't want to rely generating random numbers to decide
Update: This is what I want to do, depending of the kind of the shield it would be more likely to block than others:

The easiest way to cause this effect would be to give each shield type a % chance to block (possibly also influenced by other stats, depending on how you want the logic to function) Say if a small shield blocks 10%, a medium shield blocks 25% and a large shield blocks 50%, like in Orin's comment. At this point you just need to grab a random value and see if it's less than whatever your block value is. Easy way is to grab a value between 0 and 1 (many random value generators will give you this, if not divide by max possible value and you have it anyway), then compare with the appropriate percentage (10% is 0.1, 25% is 0.25, ...etc). If the random value is greater than or equal to the shield value it's a hit, otherwise it was blocked If you wish to add a character stat, terrain, direction, or anything else to this calculation, simply decide how it adds or subtracts to the block % and then do the comparison as normal. Values less than or equal to 0 will never block and values greater than 1 will always block, though you can modify this behavior by setting limits on the value. |

I don't know the combat system you are using or are trying to make (how you define it etc.) I'll try to give you a solution from a game called Runescape. You have 3 basic meele combat skills: Attack - defines how often you will break through / makes the average hit higher Strength - defines the highest possible hit Defence - defines how much less you will get hit The weapons you use have three types of "stat bonuses" Attack bonuses - for eg. your sword has +100 slash but just +30 to crush Strength bonus in your wep. will define the max hit that you be able to hit (more than with fists or worse weps.) Defence will be for eg. +120 dmg resistance to slash but only +10 dmg resistance to crush. When you get slashed with that wep. you take the slash stats of the wep and you add +100 to -120 you will find out that you have 20 damage resistance from slash, then using your combat algorythms you can define that the average hit you get when slashed will be low because your armor is better than the attackers atk stats. When you get crushed you add -10 to 30 and you get that your opponent will have +20 dmg exceeding your armor. And that way the average hits you get will be higher If I wrote something unclearl please correct and comment to ask additional questions |
