Monster AI - HP triggers
« on: August 05, 2017, 05:55:57 AM »
when I started I thought the HP conditions in enemy AI would be percentage so it wouldn't matter what I set HP to.
I was wrong, the checks are in absolute values ..

specifically I mean the likes of Magisa checking for her own HP to drop below 300 before she summons her husband.

does someone happen to have a list with enemies that even use any HP checks or a good method to find them?
367 entries are a bit much for me atm..

Absolute indeed. It is good and bad. Good because it reduce the code for the trigger, but if you change the monster HP value, you might have to tune the triggers too.

For me it is more bad than ok;
I've repurposed message speed as a difficulty selector which also affects enemy HP, so yeah..
