AC Bonus Based on Attribute?

Nalerenn · December 14th, 2009, 08:49 AM

To cut a long story short, one of the classes I'm attempting to code in has a feature that uses its Con bonus to add to its Natural Armor, with a minimum of 1. I've tried bootstrapping it with the code below, but I can't seem to get it to change at all with the stats.

Code:

hero.child[mNatural].field[Bonus].value = hero.child[mNatural].field[Bonus].value + hero.child[aCON].field[aNormMod].value

Anyone got any insight into this? Or am I forgetting something simple ^^;;

Natural armor is:
hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACNatural].value

Timing?

Since you want the Con mod, you'll need to be in the Post-Attributes phase or later (Post-Attributes/10000 seems about right).

I'd suggest using aModBonus instead of aNormMod - otherwise, your Amulet of Health's effects won't be added to your natural armor.

Since you want a minimum bonus (and I'm shortening the amount of typing as well):

Code:

 
hero.child[ArmorClass].field[tACNatural].value += maximum(hero.child[aCON].field[aModBonus].value, 1)

Ah, I was using it Post-Levels. My bad, forgot to whack that in there.

And that worked a charm, thanks! I'll have to remember that code.
