[Resolved] Weapons increasing stats by percentages

[Trance]

I not going to be including a whole lot of weapons in the game I am working on, (you don't buy a new set of weapons/armor in every new town) so I want you to be able to choose a weapon based on your fighting style. For example, if you are a heavy fighter, you may buy a great sword, that will double your attack, but half your agility.

So that is basically what I want to do, I want the increases of your weapons to be percentage based as opposed to integers.

My Actor Stat Bonuses Script does this. It's failr simple, yet extremely complex.

It starts off getting each stats original value, then sending it to specialized method in a module of constants.

From there it checks the actors class, equipment, skills etc. and modifies the stat value. Then it sends the bonus gained back to the method.

Your focus needs to be here:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Weapon Bonuses
  #
  #  ~ weapon_id => { stat_bonus => bonus, ... }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  WeaponBonuses_Direct = {
  }
  WeaponBonuses_Percent = {
  }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Armor Bonuses
  #
  #  ~ armor_id => { stat_bonus => bonus, ... }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ArmorBonuses_Direct = {
  }
  ArmorBonuses_Percent = {
  }

Alright, I did this:

   #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Weapon Bonuses
  #
  #  ~ weapon_id => { stat_bonus => bonus, ... }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  WeaponBonuses_Direct = {
  }
  WeaponBonuses_Percent = {
  001 => {'str' => 50}
  }

And it work perfectly. Thank you very much. However, afterwards, I added:

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Weapon Bonuses
  #
  #  ~ weapon_id => { stat_bonus => bonus, ... }
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  WeaponBonuses_Direct = {
  }
  WeaponBonuses_Percent = {
  001 => {'str' => 50, 'agi' => -50}
  }

The nurf to agility, and I recieved and error message. Does the script support negitives?

EDIT: Alas, how silly of me. Forgot the comma. It is working, thanks for your help.

You need a comma after the first one.

WeaponBonuses_Percent = {
  001 => {'str' => 50},
  001 => {'agi' => -50}
}

Prexus, you missed the 001. 001 converts the number to a different base (octal?).

You need only to have one key for each weapon id.

  WeaponBonuses_Percent = {
  1 => {'str' => 50, 'agi' => -50}
  }

That should be it.

I don't know how the script works, I was just fixing his syntax error.

 

[Trance]

Heh, you guys didn't notice my edit? =P Thanks for the help though.
