TryCondition

A method that is only used by NeedlerPincer to attempt to inflict conditions as part of the NeedleToss and NeedlePincer actions (with caveats and dead logic, see below to learn more).

It functions similarily than the infliction logic of CalculateBaseDamage, but it has several differences (even new issues) and it doesn't support all conditions that the damage pipeline supports.

private void TryCondition(ref MainManager.BattleData data, MainManager.BattleCondition condition, int turns)

Supported conditions

It only supports the following conditions (the method does nothing for any other):

• Freeze (never used under normal gameplay), requires passing a resistance check with the target's freezeres for infliction
• Fire (never used under normal gameplay), requires the same conditions then CalculateBaseDamage, but without the block check or Sturdy check for infliction
• Sleep, requires passing a resistance check with the target's sleepres for infliction
• Numb, requires passing a resistance check with the target's numbres for infliction
• Poison, requires passing a resistance check with the target's poisonres for infliction

Resistance check differences

The resistance check does have logic to take into account player infliction including logic to reduce the corresponding resistance by 15 if the StatusBoost medal is equipped on the target, but this logic is never used under normal gameplay. This is because the method is only used when the player attacks an enemy and in these cases, the enemy is the target.

Issue with the resistance checks

NOTE: All these resistance checks are off by 1. It means that the chance of infliction is always 1% less than it should be. It implies that a 50 resistance is actually 49% chance to inflict and that a 0 resistance is a 99% chance to inflict instead of 100%

Infliction logic differences

The following are all differences with CalculateBaseDamage regarding infliction:

• Freeze (never used under normal gameplay):
  • If the target has the Topple condition, it is never removed
  • The target will never have Drop called on it even if its position is Ground with a height above 0.05
  • The infliction is done directly with SetCondition rather than AddDelayedCondition
  • UpdateAnim is called at the end
• Fire (never used under normal gameplay):
  • UpdateAnim is called at the end
• Sleep:
  • The target's sleepres increase is 8 instead of 9 (10 instead of 13 on HardMode)
  • The target will never have Drop called on it even if its position is Ground with a height above 0.05
  • The infliction is done directly with SetCondition rather than AddDelayedCondition
  • UpdateAnim is called at the end
• Numb:
  • On HardMode the target's numbres increase is 20 instead of 22. It remains at 17 otherwise
  • The target's cantmove is always set to 1, even if its actimmobile is true
  • The target will never have Drop called on it even if its position is Ground with a height above 0.05
  • The infliction is done directly with SetCondition rather than AddDelayedCondition
  • UpdateAnim is called at the end
• Poison:
  • There is now a poisonres increase by 5 (8 instead when on HardMode)
  • UpdateAnim is called at the end
