I know you guys may get this quite often, but How hard i it to make an attack system, because I was just thinking of all the stuff I have to join onto it, like , I've made a simple attack system where I press attack and it randomizes a number between 5,10. but I've also got a strength stat on this so that I can raise my level, How would I make it so that apon a certain strength level it does a certain damage depeneding on the strength level...

well you could made a damage formula like Strength/2+rand(1,5)
to get your attack power.

in order to have a strength based battle system, you have to of course have a strength var

var/strength = 1


now, in your battle system, wherever you figure up the damage, simply use the strength var

var/damage = strength + rand(5, 10)


get it?

  mob/Move()
    if(lifting)return 0
    return ..()
obj
    icon='Test Tube.dmi'
    icon_state="weights"
    layer=MOB_LAYER+1
    verb
        Lift()
            set category="Action"
            set src in oview(0)
            if(usr.lifting)
                usr.lifting=0
                icon_state="weights"
            else
                usr << "You start lifting"
                icon_state="lifting weight"
                usr.lifting=1
                AGAIN
                if(!usr.lifting)return
                else
                    var/random=rand(1,2)
                    var/stam=rand(1,2)
                    usr.strength+=random
                    usr.stamina-=stam
                    sleep(10)
                    goto AGAIN



Here's the code to lift a weight and gain strength.


 mob
    verb
        attack(mob/M as mob in oview (1))
            set category="Action"
            set src in oview(1)
            usr << "You attack [M]"
            oview() << "[usr] attacks [M]"
            var/damage = strength + rand(1,2)
            world << "[damage] damage"
            M:powerlevel -= damage
            M:Finish()


Here's the attack code, for some reason "var/damage = strength + rand(1,2)" I think there is something wrong here, it compiles ok, but it won't add the strength from my stats onto the random part. hard to explain, say it's like it won't add the strength on the random.
