Cannot convert fixnum into array

[Zeldabud]

Okay, whenever I try to make my Battle Formulas work, I always get a Cannot convert Fixnum into Array from this line:
atk = [attacker.atk - self.pdef / 2, 0].max

THats just slightly edited from the standard one, but even with that I'm now getting an error >.<

Any Help?

Hm.. probably he has a problem with the formula inside the array. Try using parenthesis

atk = [(attacker.atk - self.pdef / 2), 0].max

If that doesn't work, use the formula outside of the array and save the result in a temporary variable.
Edit:
Oh and are you sure "attacker.atk" and "self.pdef" return both integers, and not an array? Probably another script you use changed this.

Just use parenthesis instead ] and [. I dont tested but it should work
atk = ((attacker.atk - self.pdef)/ 2).max

The parenthesis like that don't work Lobosque.

.max is an Array method that returns the highest integer value in the array. In the case above, it'll return attacker.atk - self.pdef / 2 OR 0, whichever is higher.

In the case that attacker.atk or self.pdef is anything but an Integer, there will be problems. MagicMagor is on the right track and if you don't honestly know the answer, Lobosque, don't post.

Yes i don't really paid attention, sorry.
I tought that he had that old mistake, using ] [ instead ) (, but the mistake was mine.
