This is a really simple code structure.

First, put:

Code:

        

                int16        rune;

        void        SetRune(int16 amount) {rune = amount;}

        int16        GetRune() {return rune;}

into mob.h

Then:

Code:

rune = 0;

into Mob::Mob in mob.cpp

Then, put this into ChangeHP() in attack.cpp:

Code:

        int16 ramt = GetRune();

        if (ramt > 0 &amp;&amp; amount &lt; 0)

        {

                if (amount + ramt &lt;= 0)

                {

                        amount += ramt;

                       ramt = 0;

                }

                else

                {

                        ramt += amount;

                        amount = 0;

                }

                if (ramt == 0)

                        this->BuffFadeByEffect(SE_Rune);

                SetRune(ramt);

        }

And this under both Damage functions in attack.cpp:

Code:

        int16 ramt = GetRune();

        if (ramt > 0 &amp;&amp; damage > 0)

        {

                if (damage > ramt)

                {

                        damage -= ramt;

                        ramt = 0;

                }

                else

                {

                        ramt -= damage;

                        damage = -6;

                }

                if (ramt == 0)

                        this->BuffFadeByEffect(SE_Rune);

                SetRune(ramt);

        }

Finally, this under SE_Rune in spells.cpp:

Code:

SetRune(CalcSpellValue(spells[spell_id].formula[i], spells[spell_id].base[i], spells[spell_id].max[i], caster_level));

And you're done!

OMG this code has so many problems i cant even start to think about it

did you actually test this??

Yes, it works fine. What problems do you refer to?

well ok, actually its just one thing

in case you dont have any special code for damage calculation that you didnt post, the rune buff icon will almost never fade when expired by hitting. except in the few cases where damage equals exactly the amount of rune hp left

the line should read

Code:

if (ramt &lt;= 0)

    this->BuffFadeByEffect(SE_Rune);

i thought it was more, but obviously i was just confused :rolleyes:

Does it properly say that the person absorbs the damage tho?

Yeah, that's what damage = -6 is for. It says "Your magical skin absorbs the blow!"

And you're right neo. Fixing that. I actually just forgot a ramt = 0; when adapting the code.
