StatusEffect

This method is kind of a wrapper around SetCondition because it does end up calling it after a resistance check if applicable, but it also renders visually the conditions being applied by a colored arrow thanks to StatEffect.

private void StatusEffect(MainManager.BattleData data, MainManager.BattleCondition status, int turns, bool effect, bool force = false)

Parameters

  • data: The actor to attempt to inflict the condition
  • status: The condition to attempt to inflict the actor
  • turns: The amount of main turns to inflict the condition
  • effect: Whether the infliction should include a visual render. There is an overload where this can be ommited and it will send false
  • force: If true, the resistance check is bypassed if applicable and the condition will always be inflicted

Procedure

If applicable and force is false, a resistence check will be performed. The test will be performed by generating a random integer in the range [0, 100[ and check if the number is strictly higher than the matching resistance. However, if the resistance is 100 or above, the test always fails.

NOTE: this test is off by one numerically: a 50 resistance actually means a 49% change to inflict for example. This is because doing a strictly higher than comparison splits the ranges like such that the fail group is [0, resistance] and the success group is ]resistance, 100[, but they should be split to [0, resistance[ and [resistance, 100[ respectively. This means for a given resistance, the chance to inflict in percentage is 100 - resistance - 1 instead of 100 - resistance.

Here are the statuses where the test is applicable and which resistance will be used for each:

If the test fails, nothing happens and a return happens immediately.

If it succeeds, SetCondition is called with the actor, condition and amount of actor turns.

The method is done if effect is false.

If it's true, a StatEffect coroutine will be started if applicable with a type followed by a certain sound being played if it wasn't already depending on the condition.

Here are the conditions and how the visual effect is done (other conditions don't have visual effects):
