Hello there,
I’m in the process of setting up some health mechanics.
I’ve gotten healing and potion use down but I can’t quite figure out how to use dice mechanics to hurt my player.
I don’t want to predefine a weapons dmg. I’d like it to be a dice roll to immediately take from my hp pool.
Right now my attempt at this code is as follows. I have a meter health bar also to try and display .
So lets say my h$hp at the beginning of this fight is 60
I have a meter on my left side bar for HP that I would like to update in real time when dice roll occurs.
<meter @value="$hp" min="0" max="100"></meter>
For the actual dice roll I have…
You get <<linkappend "hit">>
<<set _rollresult1 to random(1, 6)>>
<<set $hp -= "_rollresult1">>
<</linkappend>>
My $hp just says NaN once the dice it rolled and my meter doesn’t move.
What am I doing wrong here? I’m sure it’s something simple that I’m overlooking or I’m just straight up going about this the wrong way.
Any help would be amazing.
Thanks!
