Title: Armor with decaying health?
Post by: The Martian on August 31, 2021, 05:47:53 am

I'm trying to create an armor for a unit that loses health every turn.

So far I've tried both:

Code: [Select]

armors:
  - type: DECAYING_HEALTH_ARMOR
    recovery:
      health:
        flatHundred: -0.5

and

Code: [Select]

armors:
  - type: DECAYING_HEALTH_ARMOR
    recovery.health: -50

But the unit just wanders around and never loses any health.

What am I doing wrong?

I just tried it again... and for some reason this time it worked and the units health decreased by 50 per turn.

Code: [Select]

  - type: AQUATOID_ARMOR
    spriteSheet: AQUATOID.PCK
    allowInv: false
    corpseBattle:
      - STR_AQUATOID_CORPSE
    frontArmor: 5
    sideArmor: 5
    rearArmor: 5
    underArmor: 5
    drawingRoutine: 4
    constantAnimation: true
    damageModifier:
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
    loftempsSet: [ 5 ]
    overKill: 10.0
    recovery:
      health:
        flatHundred: -0.5

I must have made a typo or messed up the syntax with my previous attempt.
