Prevent Chryssalid Insta Kill

[Nirran]

my script triggers on the hit but soldier dies anyway,looked at script ,donno what to look for

any way to prevent the transformation with scripts?4

[Nord]

you need scripthook "damageSpecialUnit"
in which you should modify variable "transform_chance".

seems oxce has alot of variations of get/set

edit: what is the correct synthax to get/set transform_chance?

edit2: typo

[Nord]

To create full list of script commands, you need to switch "verboseLogging" in options.cfg to "true", then launch oxce, then quit and open file "openxcom.log". It will contain not only log, but script help. Save it somewhere, and remember to update when upgrade to newer OXCE version.

Just as any variable,

Code: [Select]

set temp transform_chance;
...magic...
set transform_chance temp;
Like 0 is no transform at all, 100 - transform by any circumstances.

[Nord]

Youmust

I Tried both of those,they both break the script

Youmust Show it here.

my script i tried these :

Code: [Select]

          #get transform_chance temp;
          #set transform_chance temp;
          #set temp transform_chance;  
          #debug_log "transform " temp;
it is a script to cheat death,originaly copied from Meridian lucky script i found on this forum,this doesnt fire if i uncoment those(one at a time of course)

Code: [Select]

          unit.getHealth Health;                 # get current health
          sub Health to_health;                  # sub projected hp loss from current hp
          debug_log "Unconscious Code Health:" Health;     
         
          unit.getStun stunLevel;                # set var to unit stun level
          add stunLevel to_stun;                 # add projected stun level to current stun level
          debug_log "Unconscious Code Stun:" stunLevel;       
         
          #get transform_chance temp;
          #set transform_chance temp;
          #set temp transform_chance;  
          #debug_log "transform " temp;         
          if ge stunLevel Health;
             #battle_game.flashLongMessage "STR_TRANSFORM_STRING";
             battle_game.flashLongMessage "STR_UNCONSCIOUS_STRING";
             #set transform_chance temp;
             #debug_log "transform " temp";         
             unit.getHealthMax temp;
             unit.setHealth temp;
             mul temp 4;
             unit.setStun temp;
             set to_health 0;
             set to_stun 0;
             set to_wound -50;
             unit.disableIndicators;
             unit.setTag Tag.LRF_IS_DEAD 1;
             return;
          end;

first string is wrong, and you forget about @magic@ in a middle.
If you want make chances equal to 0:

Code: [Select]

set transform_chance 0;If you want set chances 15% less:

Code: [Select]

set temp transform_chance;
muldiv temp 85 100;
set transform_chance temp;And dont forget to define variable in a beginning of script:

Code: [Select]

    damageSpecialUnit:
      - offset: 11    # any number for counting
        code: |
          var int temp;

          var int transform 0; 
           
          set temp transform_chance;
          ...magic...
          set transform_chance temp;
          debug_log "transform " temp;  
          battle_game.flashLongMessage "STR_TRANSFORM_STRING";

"...magic..." is not an operator, it is a joke.

anybody know why that code fails?

[Yankes]

You should know it, you have all available tools to debug this, look in logs and see what was there.

[Nord]

you forget

Code: [Select]

return; in the end.
