I had done this from memory without checking - I actually multiply by 1 - sqr(1 - (current / max)). This gives a 0% penalty for a 100% healthy character, a 100% penalty for a 0% healthy character, and a 25% penalty for a 50% healthy character. I expect there is a better formula to obtain that curve, but it doesn't come to mind right now :) -- Kylotan _______________________________________________ MUD-Dev maillist - MUD-Dev#kanga,nu <A HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev">http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev</A> </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <ul compact><li><strong>Follow-Ups</strong>: <ul> <li><strong><A NAME="00607" HREF="msg00607.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></strong> <ul compact><li><em>From:</em> Marc Spoorendonk <marc@freud.et.tudelft.nl></li></ul> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00591" HREF="msg00591.html">[MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> "Neil Edwards" <neiled@clara.net></LI></UL></LI> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00592" HREF="msg00592.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> "Kylotan" <kylotan@kylotan.eidosnet.co.uk></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00595.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Ideas for dynamic worlds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00598.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Ideas for dynamic worlds</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00592.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00607.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00596"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00596"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00600" HREF="msg00600.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: Commercial Online Roleplaying Games (fwd)</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw@kanga.nu">claw@kanga.nu</a>, Tue 14 Dec 1999, 18:31 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00599" HREF="msg00599.html">[MUD-Dev] Metakit</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw@kanga.nu">claw@kanga.nu</a>, Mon 13 Dec 1999, 16:53 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00591" HREF="msg00591.html">[MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></strong>, Neil Edwards <a href="mailto:neiled@clara.net">neiled@clara.net</a>, Sat 11 Dec 1999, 15:08 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00592" HREF="msg00592.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></strong>, Kylotan <a href="mailto:kylotan@kylotan.eidosnet.co.uk">kylotan@kylotan.eidosnet.co.uk</a>, Sat 11 Dec 1999, 16:57 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00596" HREF="msg00596.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></strong>, Kylotan <a href="mailto:kylotan@kylotan.eidosnet.co.uk">kylotan@kylotan.eidosnet.co.uk</a>, Sat 11 Dec 1999, 20:00 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00607" HREF="msg00607.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></strong>, Marc Spoorendonk <a href="mailto:marc@freud.et.tudelft.nl">marc@freud.et.tudelft.nl</a>, Thu 16 Dec 1999, 20:56 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00632" HREF="msg00632.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw@cp.net">claw@cp.net</a>, Fri 17 Dec 1999, 01:24 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00593" HREF="msg00593.html">RE: [MUD-Dev] Combat systems</A></strong>, Chris Lloyd <a href="mailto:crl199@soton.ac.uk">crl199@soton.ac.uk</a>, Sat 11 Dec 1999, 17:17 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00590" HREF="msg00590.html">[MUD-Dev] The GTS Library</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw@kanga.nu">claw@kanga.nu</a>, Sat 11 Dec 1999, 05:54 GMT </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
