AD&D Ruleset

[vodokar]

Awesome. Maybe you might find some extra gaming now that you have online as an option also; so tough getting our old gaming buddies together again IRL. FG does make for a really good IRL gaming experience as well though, with the manual dice input and the ability to project maps onto a flatscreen monitor lied flat; which is what some of our users do. Hope you enjoy the ruleset.

I finally made a breakthru on the Multi-Classing Code for Saving Throws. Had to use some twisted logic.

function onSourceUpdate()
					local nodeWin = window.getDatabaseNode();
					local nLevel = DB.getValue(nodeWin, "classes.slot1.level", 0);
					local nLevel2 = DB.getValue(nodeWin, "classes.slot1.level2", 0);
					local nLevel3 = DB.getValue(nodeWin, "classes.slot1.level3", 0);
					local sCurrentClass = DB.getValue(nodeWin, "classes.slot1.name", "Thief");
					sCurrentClass = string.lower(sCurrentClass);
					local sCurrentClass2 = DB.getValue(nodeWin, "classes.slot1.name2", "Thief");
					sCurrentClass2 = string.lower(sCurrentClass2);
					local sCurrentClass3 = DB.getValue(nodeWin, "classes.slot1.name3", "Thief");
					sCurrentClass3 = string.lower(sCurrentClass3);
					local nSavingThrowMod = 0;
					local nSavingThrowMod2 = 0;
					local nSavingThrowMod3 = 0;
					
					if string.match(sCurrentClass, "fig") or string.match(sCurrentClass, "pal") or string.match(sCurrentClass, "ran") then
						nSavingThrow = GameSystem.getSavingThrowsFighterParalyzation(nLevel) + calculateSources();
						setValue(nodeWin, "save.paralyzation.score", "number", nSavingThrow);
					elseif string.match(sCurrentClass, "thi") or string.match(sCurrentClass, "rog")
								or string.match(sCurrentClass, "***") or string.match(sCurrentClass, "mon") then
						nSavingThrow = GameSystem.getSavingThrowsThiefParalyzation(nLevel) + calculateSources();
						setValue(nodeWin, "save.paralyzation.score", "number", nSavingThrow);

						nSavingThrow2 = GameSystem.getSavingThrowsMagicUserParalyzation(nLevel2) + calculateSources();
					else 
						nSavingThrow2 = nSavingThrow
					end
					
					
						nSavingThrowMod = nSavingThrow - nSavingThrow2;
						if nSavingThrowMod > 0 then
							setValue(nodeWin, "save.paralyzation.score", "number", nSavingThrow2);
						end

I love it! Well done!
No freaking way im reading all that code though.

[vodokar]

That's kinda the point. The TL;DR version = it was complicated.

Got it fully implemented for all 5 saving throws.

if I_Feel_Like_IT == True then
	will.workon_CombatCode(tommorrow);
else
	will.release(tommorrow, Multi-Classed Saving Throws)
		if start.speak.code then
			worktoolong == true
		end
				
end

Also finally got those sidebar buttons moved to the proper place.

Why didn't you just setup a table keyed by class name and pull the needed value out of the table?

[vodokar]

I guess the simplest answer to that is that I don't know how to do that, if I understand your question. I used functions to store the values and pull them when needed, because I knew how to do that. Since I already knew that would work, I didn't see any reason to try to find a different solution to something I already knew how to do.

At any rate, saving and getting the data wasn't the problem. Getting it to decide which of the three saving throw values possible (one value for each potential class of the multi-classed character) to use was.

As I said, I solved that problem, so, it now works. It might not be how you would have done it, but it doesn't matter, because it works. There are always multiple ways to go about something; the only thing that matters is that it works.

[Andraax]

No guarantee this will work as written, I'm just whipping it up off the top of my head, but something like this:

    tSavingThrows = {
        paralyzation = {
            fighter = { 1=14, 2=14, 3=13, 4=13, ... }
            thief = { 1=13, 2=13, 3=13, 4=13, ... }
            ...
        },
        rod = {
            ...
        },
        ...
    }
    nSavingThrow = tSavingThrows[sThrowType][sCurrentClass][nLevel] + CalculateSources();
    nSavingThrow2 = tSavingThrows[sThrowType][sCurrentClass2][nLevel2] + CalculateSources();
    nSavingThrow3 = tSavingThrows[sThrowType][sCurrentClass3][nLevel3] + CalculateSources();
    ...

[vodokar]

Always glad to learn something new. I'll remember that for next time. No reason to change what I have now.

[leozelig]

The OSRIC ruleset uses tables for a bunch of stuff. It might be worth digging through since you might be able to borrow some code. "To hit" tables with repeating 20's were definitely in there.

[vodokar]

I will likely take a look in order to increase my programming toolbox, however, I have no plans to change things that are already working. Better to spend my time adding features to the existing ruleset and looking forward to the next project.
