calculation questions

from Elemental Forums

1)when is reseted the calc?

ie i have to add + n to dodge and accuracy, do i have to do

gamemodifier

adjust dodge

calc,get unistat n

value=calc

/gamemod (calc get reseted here)

gamemod

adjust accuracy

calc, get n

blablabla

 

or i get calc first time and it works even on second modifier without recalling it?

 

2)can i use calc on stats different from value?

i tried

            <Calculate InternalName="Duration">
                <Expression><![CDATA[[Calc]]]></Expression>
            </Calculate>

but doesnt look like its working

i need to make dynamic range, cooldown for example

Afaik calculations are reset when the modifier ends.

Afaik you cannot use calculations on anything except value.

thats too bad

and i suspect calculations arent working into traits right?

 

any way i can give a dynamic buff with a trait ?

or can i have a trait giving a buff to the unit at all?

Calculate should work on any gamemodifier that has the Value tag.

When I tried putting calculations way back in the day in traits, they only ran once - at the time the unit was created.

 

You can have a trait cast a buff on the unit in combat using BattleAutoCastSpell.

Have you tried it since they introduced the <HasUpgradeableValue> tag?

Also, not to go off topic, but I also just noticed the <ValueCalcWrapper> tag...what does it do?

Nothing right now. It is supposed to help the AI figure out what spell should have priority.

true, like noble legacy does basically

ok, its not exactly what i need but can be adapted to it

 

thnx very much

 

@mqpiffle the problem is that i dont want to change the value, i want to change other stats

for example for spells i can make different ranks like fireball 2 with cooldown of 2 fireball 3 with cooldown of 3 etc , but i wanted to make a generic fireball N and then use other skills or gamestates to play with that N (being it cooldown or range or other stuff)

I know what you wanted to do, which is why I replied the way I did ;P
