[BASICDAMAGE] Custom GDF Questions
Okay, so ...
I am attempting to replace the [BASICDAMAGE] section of the Characters GDF with a custom formula. This section takes the st(), thr() and sw() tags; obviously. Does GCA permit me to add custom tags to this section (and reference my tags to make the formulas more human-readable) or do I get to live with the sprawling mass of numbers? Admittedly, its' more of an aesthetics question than a technical one but I figured I'd ask in an attempt to make it easier on me to debug my stuff. Also! Does anything break if thr()/sw() returns "1d+0" rather than "1d"? Figured I'd ask this one before finding out the hard way. Heh. |

GCA will use the first entry where the lookup ST is less than or equal to the st() value. So you can do formulas for different 'blocks' of values if you want. Note that GCA parses the entry values on the 'd' to get a thBase and thAdd or swBase and swAdd values. So if you use a formula to figure things, it'll need to be formatted to allow for parsing on the 'd' if any + or - value is needed. (Meaning: enclose in parens. See the last entry in that section of Basic Set for an example.) Hmm. Thinking about it now, you should be able to use an Attribute as a variable if that would help. Because the Basic Damage values are sent through the Solver when they're needed (to solve any formulas) any references to traits should be solved for at that time. That might help you some. Quote:
