[CANCELLED] Planned feature: Body armor
Planned feature: Body armor
This is a stretch goal and might not appear in the finished game at all.
Body armor can limit and absorb certain damage.
- Body armor can absorb certain types of damage to a certain degree.
- Max 100 armor can be collected (you start with 0).
- Different armor boosts can be dropped and collected (+25, +50).
- Armor will absorb 50 % of incoming damage from projectiles and explosions. Remaining 50 % will drain your health as usual.
- Fall damage and fire damage ignore all armor.
- Blunt melee weapons will ignore all armor (this include fists).

Actual body armor won't be visible on your character, it will just be a stat like in old-school shooters like Doom. Cosmetic body armor will always stay cosmetic.

It's also like CS:GO; helmets and armor don't actually appear on the character.Hjarpe wrote:Actual body armor won't be visible on your character, it will just be a stat like in old-school shooters like Doom. Cosmetic body armor will always stay cosmetic.
Also, will there be different types of armor, like fire resistant or explosive resistant ones?

Cool. There, some more weapon variety guys, in some cases it will be preferable to choose a pipe or bat over a machete. I like these little strategy details, like picking an uzi over a magnum against a low HP player.

can't the same thing be done using ApiScript ? even the part of picking in it up and +50/+25 power-ups can be done by an inside script if you choose to add it into your map.
also this could make the game infair and farther complicated. i guess that it is... debatable !

I think the armor should be visible on the caracter 'cause ,also if sfd is pseudorealistic, it whould
A) be cool
B) easily visible if someone wears armor (think over you got 10 hp and a sniper, last enemy comes with 30 hp in range you shoot and hit him but HE IS STILL ALIVE and you have no idea why cause you dont see armor
A extra health bar for armor will lock like crap in the map i think

The problem is differentiating functional armor from cosmetic armor (of which we may add several different kinds in the future). Plus, some clothes could potentially hide the armor, giving a slight advantage. So I'd rather have the armor be an abstract stat.Billy wrote:I think the armor should be visible on the caracter 'cause ,also if sfd is pseudorealistic, it whould

I suggest to change the "absorb half damage" formula to this :
Armor damage = damage taken * armor value (ranging from 0 to 100) / 100
Health damage = damage taken - Armor damage
So people would still gather armor even when they are at low health : doom-like armor system only works if there is a plenty of health kit or other ways to heal yourself, otherwise there would be no point to collect them when you are low in health since only a little bit of armor would be used before you die.
Otherwise, i suggest making different items that would give a specific 'armor damage ration', just like the mega-armor in doom that absorb 2/3 damage instead of 1/2 or the magic shield in heretic that absorbs 3/4 damage until depleted.
Players would glow a color corresponding the armor picked up (for example, in UT, you glow bright yellow when equipped with the shield belt, that absorb ALL damage and that is OP), so you can tell wether or not it is a good idea to attack someone. A little icon next their health would maybe work if the glow thing do not feel right : a small shield for the basic armor, a kevlar vest for normal armor, a marine-like armor for a the best one

I actually found this when I was bored:
Wow! It's Coming!
Code: Select all
public BarMeter Armor {
get {
return this.m_bars [2];
}
set {
this.m_bars [2] = value;
}
}
Code: Select all
this.Health = new BarMeter (100, 100);
this.Armor = new BarMeter (100, 0);
this.Energy = new BarMeter (100, 100);

Hmm..maybe body armour could be slightly distinguished by maybe a small detail like a helmet or something?(Helmet has text, shows amount of body armour e.g 50, 75, etc.)

Maybe like a shield thing where for a limited amount of time the shield will protect you, not as if it will take like every shot, it will reduce the amount of damage you take, and maybe if we could have shield, but yeah I'm not getting into battle royale theme lmao lmk what you guys think

The strenght boost kinda added that mechanic but it would be a really cool idea to have a separate item that gives you like a second life (one that drains quickly than the real life bar just to make it balanced).

Yeah, I am getting the whole BR vibe with your choice of phrasing, but I think body armour is a better, more suiting name for such a powerup, though I think this has already been suggested multiple times before.jlo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 24, 2019 4:37 pmMaybe like a shield thing where for a limited amount of time the shield will protect you, not as if it will take like every shot, it will reduce the amount of damage you take, and maybe if we could have shield, but yeah I'm not getting into battle royale theme lmao lmk what you guys think
I don't think armour is a very good idea if it's anything but a limited time powerup, since that way it will give you an advantage in every combat situation, whereas ranged power-weapons only give you an advantage in ranged encounters and so on, but with armour, you will have an advantage no matter the situation...Cabo_Fiambre wrote: ↑Sun Feb 24, 2019 11:26 pmThe strenght boost kinda added that mechanic but it would be a really cool idea to have a separate item that gives you like a second life (one that drains quickly than the real life bar just to make it balanced).
I think if something like armour was added to the game it should lessen projectile and/or explosive damage and not affect melee damage, since to the SFD community, melee is this sacred bastion of skill that should never be tampered with!
