Battle Manager - how applyDamage works?

dominx99

Version 4.

I have a simple NPC without any class and items equipped

and my player has a sword with 500 atk (I checked if the player also has 500 atk, and it's true)
I detected a collision with NPC and I want to calculate the damage to deal, so I use:

var appliedDamage = player.applyDamage(otherPlayer);
console.log(appliedDamage);

And then I see that returned object has damage equal to 0 and I expect it to be 500.
Have I missed something?

I've done the tests, there are no bugs,

you have to take it into account:

player.applyDamage(otherPlayer);

player is victim
otherPlayer is the attacker

So, otherPlayer must have the sword

Finally, the damage calculation is a little more complex than your description. If the sword has 500 atk, the damage is not 500.

It takes into account the other player's strength (str) and physical defense (pdef).

Here's the formula:

Example,

with no other configuration, if the attacking player has an attack of 100, the damage will be 435

Finally, it's possible to customize combat formulas:

You are right, I misunderstood how it works.

Thank you very much for your explanation. I already tested it and it works like a charm.
