DruidsRPG201 bugs

Moof - you may have missed my edit ...

Looking at a couple of things now, I think Dru was trying to undo something and was hoping there was an easy way to do it, and there's not.

Dru: I'm guessing what you really want to do is what MutUT2004RPG.DriverEnteredVehicle does but instead of:
Code:

 V.HealthMax = DefHealth + StatsInv.Data.HealthBonus;

What you really want to do is just:
Code:

 V.HealthMax = DefHealth;

But I can't be 100% sure. I'm guessing that you no longer want HealthBonus to apply to vehicles ...

It was me rather than Dru.

Dru did not want a player's health bonus to apply to vehicles and turrets. Instead, we wanted the ConstructionHealthBonus to apply instead.

So, I created the AbilityConstructionHealthBonus to increase the health. No problem, worked fine.

However, as soon as a player enters the vehicle, the health gets reset by the MutUT2004RPG.DriverEnteredVehicle function. Since that is base UTRPG code, I couldn't change that.

So, I needed some way to pass the initial starting health of the vehicle into another function which could reset it back to what I wanted. So, since the SuperHealthMax isn't used except for players, I thought I would use that. I added a ModifyVehicle function to the RPGClass to reset it back to what I wanted, since the ModifyVehicle function is called after the DriverEnterVehicle bit is done.

Unfortunately, it looks like there is a minor bug and the health is shown as 199 until it takes damage?

We may want to look at still allowing normal health bonus to apply to vehicles. They are exceptionally weak now.

Aren't they just back at the health they were initially created to be?

To be honest, I don't know, but when a Brute can literally take my Manta from max health to dead when I'm charging it from short range, something's awry.

I think a Manta is supposed to only have 200 health anyway, so a high level brute could take it out with sufficient DB.

However, I have screwed up. I was thinking in terms of AbilityConstructionHealthBonus setting the initial starting health, so the RPGClass ModifyVehicle could set it back. Unfortunately, I forgot about the normal vehicles spawning in VINV. They will all have 199 health now, not good.

I will post a fix in.

It took 3 skaarj blasts to destroy a tank. I could understand mantas being weak. Tanks... not so much.

Fix in cvs

Oops. Sorry Dru.

Oh, good. Go get your cookie!

It goes without saying that until Dru does another build, VINV probably shouldn't be played.
