Resistance going up at levels

[thrillba]

I know this is probably simple, but whereas I am a network admin - programming completely escapes me.

I am creating a new race which has fire resistance.

I want him to have resist 5 at the start but for the resistance to go up at certain levels

How do I do this in the editor to automatically happen?

I have added the resistance but just do not know how to make it go up at the desired level.

Take a look at the half fiend or half celestial template for ideas on adding progressively better resistance.

You'll need to analyse the scripts for it's application in your own custom data. Not near HL at the moment so can't provide example.

Celestial Creature Defenses
Hit Dice Resist Cold, Acid, and Electricity DR
1–4 5 —
5–10 10 5/evil
11+ 15 10/evil

creature or monster

I cannot find a half fiend or celestial anywhere. I also cannot find a monster or creature tab anywhere.

What am I missing?

Look in templates

Copied directly from the Celestial Template in the editor

Post levels 10000


~ Set up the amount of damage we resist
var damage as number
var resist as number
if (herofield[tHitDice].value < 5) then
damage = 5
elseif (herofield[tHitDice].value < 10) then
damage = 10
resist = 5
else
damage = 15
resist = 10
endif

#applyresist[xDamRsAcid, damage]
#applyresist[xDamRsCold, damage]
#applyresist[xDamRsElec, damage]

~ Set up our damage reduction
#applydr[xDamRdEvil, resist]


Hope this helps!

monsters and creatures are done in the "Race" tab.

Except Half-fiend and Half-Celestial are templates, under the "Template" tab

Of course.
