How to unstone a unit

[Glowing Fish]

I have found a way to unstone a unit.
It won't come up much, but it is possible.
When a unit levels up, it gets rid of all its status ailments, including stoning.
So, if a cockatrice attacks a unit that is 2 XP away from levelling up, and stones it, the unit will then level up and escape stoning.

But if it fails... you loose your lvl2 unit (I mean if he only gets 1 XP, because a cockatrice's attack is quite weak, actually)

Why would it matter how weak the attack is? The cockatrice is a level 2 unit.

it does matter on how much XP you get when you're getting attacked.

No, only the level of the unit that is attacking matters. I think we might be arguing at cross-purposes.

I think Tux2B is confused about how XP works... XP for fighting = level of enemy, period. XP of killing = 8(level of enemy) + 4(level of enemy=0).

[Tomsik]

XP of killing = 8(level of enemy) + 4(level of enemy=0).

Nope.
If level!=0 - xp=8*lvl
If level == 0 - xp=4

[UDD]

XP of killing = 8(level of enemy) + 4(level of enemy=0).

Nope.
If level!=0 - xp=8*lvl
If level == 0 - xp=4

Which is what he said.
If level=0 then you get XP of killing = 8*0 + 4*1 = 4
If level=1 then you get XP of killing = 8*1 + 4*0 = 8
If level=2 then you get XP of killing = 8*2 + 4*0 = 16
If level=3 then you get XP of killing = 8*3 + 4*0 = 24
If level=4 then you get XP of killing = 8*4 + 4*0 = 32
If level=5 then you get XP of killing = 8*5 + 4*0 = 40
etc....

Tomsik Turin is right in Algebra 8L +4 (L for level) is 8*L +4

Well, I am pretty sure that in their head, they both had it right. Although, just for fun, I would point out in pseudo-C, that turin's is not quit right, since level of enemy=0 sets the level to 0 and then multiplies 0 by 4! what he should have said is XP = 8(level of enemy) + 4(level of enemy == 0), or in the preffered way to avoid such problems: XP = 8(level of enemy) + 4(0==level of enemy) where the compiler can then catch the error if you try 0=level of enemy.

Now i'm confused...

Code: Select all

xp level
0   4
1   8
2   16
3   24
4   32
5   40

So.. pseudo-c code(at least i think so )

Code: Select all

if (level == 0) 
{
xp=4;
}
else
{
xp=level*8;
}

use if(0 == level) getting in the habit of doing that will save you a major headache at least once in your coding lifetime, probably more than once. But to completely devolve:

Code: Select all

xp=(0==level)?4:8*level;

What are you discussing that long? it´s soo simple:

8*level=xp; 0 means 0,5 at calculating.

[Keelta MacRonan]

No, because level 3s give 32 xp.

[Soliton]

No, because level 3s give 32 xp.

In your modified version maybe...

Can we please let this rather pointless topic die?
