Here I will post some scripts I use to fine-tune the game experience to my liking
4. Critical hits. Code for simple critical hits. Might still be a bit finicky. I use this because I play with with a very low damageRange.
I've been playing around with the critical hit code, combining it to the "turn red for one frame" code and a message to show critical hits.
extraStrings:
- type: en-US
strings:
STR_CRITICAL_HIT_MESSAGE: "Critical hit!"
extended:
tags:
BattleUnit:
CRITICAL_STATE: int
LAST_HIT_FRAME: int
RuleItem:
CRIT_CHANCE: int
CRIT_DAMAGE: int
scripts:
# Future Script for luck
#
# Script for Criticals
damageUnit:
- offset: -1 # critical hits (balancing for lower damageRange)
code: |
var ptr RuleItem item_rule;
var int weapon_chance;
var int unit_chance;
var int chance;
var int crit_factor; # 100 = 100% additional damage of original power
var int crit_damage;
var int temp;
weapon_item.getRuleItem item_rule;
unit.getTag unit_chance Tag.CRITICAL_STATE;
item_rule.getTag weapon_chance Tag.CRIT_CHANCE;
item_rule.getTag crit_factor Tag.CRIT_DAMAGE;
add unit_chance weapon_chance;
if eq unit_chance 0;
set unit_chance 5; # base chance of 5% for everybody
end;
if eq crit_factor 0;
set crit_factor 100; # 100% additional damage as baseline for everybody on crit
end;
battle_game.randomChance unit_chance; # will set unit_chance to 1 on success
if gt unit_chance 0;
set crit_damage orig_power;
muldiv crit_damage crit_factor 100;
add to_health crit_damage;
# Flash RED when crit hit
# NEED TO BUILD IN A CHECK TO SEE IF ITS WEAPON DAMAGE FFS
battle_game.flashMessage "STR_CRITICAL_HIT_MESSAGE";
battle_game.getAnimFrame temp;
unit.setTag Tag.LAST_HIT_FRAME temp;
debug_log "CRITICAL HIT:" crit_damage;
end;
return;
recolorUnitSprite:
- offset: 10
code: |
var int temp;
unit.getTag temp Tag.LAST_HIT_FRAME;
if neq temp 0;
sub temp anim_frame;
if gt temp -3; #only 3 frames after hit have changed color
set_color new_pixel 2; #red color
end;
end;
return new_pixel;I need to figure out
1) How to connect it to shoot script, since I'd love to have it as 5% for snap shots, 1% for auto shots and 10% for aimed shots.
a) Also I need it to stop declaring critical hits for smoke
2) How to change the code so that it leaves off a damage roll and just gives the base damage number (100%) and then reduces armor effectiveness to 0.25
But I haven't been playing with it all that much yet. Too busy streaming.
Thanks for posting this up.

Of course it can be used to make the Game even harder by just globally increasing the accuracy of your foes.
