Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2004 4:15 pm Post subject: Question about Max / Current stats |
|
|
What do each of these mean?
Like, what does Att current mean and att max and what is the difference? I'm talking in relation to plotscripting. So when you alter one of these what exactly does it do?
Thanks. |

I would think that Att current is the attack the player has right now and att max would be the maximum attack for that character.
Example: Let's say you have a weapon where the stats of that weapon will be added to the stats of the character after a certain amount of time.(PATENT PENDING) Then, you would add that number to Att current and maybe add it to att max so that the character will be able to have that much attack in the last level.
But again, I'm not sure. Someone correct me if I'm not.
Note: This probably should have gone in the plotscripting forum since it has to do with plotscripting more then the engine its self. _________________ Calehay |

Max vs. current stats are easier to recognize with maximum HP vs. current HP, since those are shown as fractions: 100/120 HP means you have 100 current HP out of 120 maximum HP. With the other stats, strength and the like, it's the same, you just don't see the fraction on the status screen. Also, when you enter a battle, all your non HP/MP stats are reset to their maximum values, which tends to make the "current stat" for those pretty useless. Basically, unless you're dealing with HP/MP, just use "maximum stat" in all your scripts. _________________ UP DOWN UP DOWN LEFT LEFT RIGHT RIGHT A B START |

What me said is right, and note that once you are in battle, it is the current value of all the stats that is used, the maximums are ignored. |

Ah, I think I get it now. So when you equip a weapon it alters your current stats...
I didn't think about the fact that it resets to max in battle. That may have been the answer I need, thank you. |

No, equipping weapons alters the maximum stat. |
