Feedback looped variable values for a damage system???

Archive: 1 post


Alright, so to keep in line with making a new damage system every few weeks (I really should stop, but I think this one beats the rest), I've thought of one with the same range as before (1-864000) by just using timers (though unlikely I'd ever actually use that range) AND..... a display! (for anyone that knows my past work, the ! is there for a reason)

How this works is by using a timer, with feedback loops for both healing and damage (2 different loops), which combine to adjust the timer.

I can't go in my basement (PS3) since it flooded and has filled with mold, but this AWESOME description will suffice (unlikely).

(Heal) = Series of adders that collect heal values
(Damage) = Series of adders that collect damage values

Health Feedback Loop
Timer -> NOT -> Combiner+
(Heal) -> Comb.-
Combiner -> Divider
Divider+ -> NOT -> Final Combiner+

Damage Feedback Loop
Timer -> Combiner+
(Damage) -> Comb.-
Combiner -> Divider
Divider+ -> Final Combiner-

Final Combiner -> Timer

The timer value should fluctuate based on the heals and damages that adjust it.

The issue I foresee is that when, say, the unit is healed, the fed back heal value will add itself over and over (so: 5+1=6 -> 6+1=7 -> 7+....) thus ruining the discrete value I had added. Adjusting the duration might fix this, but that interferes with the next issue.

Since the timer value will gradually adjust to its new value, the duration / magnitude of the pulse must be correct in order to achieve the proper value on the timer.

Since I haven't been able to test this, I'm not exactly sure how important these issues are.

Does anyone know/think there is a better method to this? (Better yet, does anyone know what I'm even writing about??)

Found a different method that works. I'm going to add it to my tutorial when I have time.
