Thanks for that, that was a lot more involved than I imagined it would be, I thought a quick little loop of statuses, if it had a x2 poison status kind of thing.
From a player’s perspective, with this set up how would they know which things they were immune to and which things they were weak to? As all the weakness and immunity is tied to the one status isn’t it?
If a creature were immune to physical damage and weak to poison (as in your example, there is only 1 icon for both, so it would be hard to tooltip. Unless there was some cleaver way of looping through the gameplay tags in the MAP keys and then checking the value for 0 and/or >0 and dependent on the result you could add a gameplay tag to the status…not sure how you would do it though?
I have also noticed now since adding the code, my burn cards do not add burn any more to the enemy minions, it will however do double the physical damage of any card marked Effect.Damage.Fire; So in my case a card does 9 Ranged damage add 2 burn. It no longer as the burn status but will do 18 damage. I removed the vulnerability status and all tags and tried again and it will still not add the status any more
Yeah I thought the flipbook thing would be straightforward also, just set, reset. However does not seem that simple. Something to keep working on.
I haven’t removed any of your cards, and as far as I am aware have not changed any of the rarity?..Ahhh I may have changed the rarity of the reward type of elites as I added some new rarities to the game and then added them to the rewards.
I am not sure why the card that discovers other cards would be affected though? I’ll got have a look through the datatable and the rarities to check for the possible issues you have highlighted.
Thanks for all this!
Oh and yeah, I try to keep my questions to 1 at a time but as I am bouncing from one thing to another as I get stuck on something I want to keep progression moving, more questions pop up and I have already forgotten to ask more questions than I have asked. I should write them down on a pad pr something…but I am the keyboard and just think I’ll pen them in here so I don’t forget to ask.
I continue to work on the issues myself at points just in case I can solve them myself, some sort of epiphany happens or something.
I don’t expect you to answer them all in one go, I would probably get confused with the answers anyway.
Happy to help, don’t get me wrong
Immunity in the way I set it up is just the game logic part, so how you choose to display this to the player is up to you, and depends a lot on your game. If it is common that monst monsters have lots of different weaknesses and resistances you probably want a custom UI for that instead of lots of individual statuses. However, if monster usually have just a couple of such resistances, displaying each as a unique status might make more sense.

Please ignore the part in the previous post about the status not applying correctly, I simply had not hooked up one of the execution pins.
I also solved the flip book issue as well in the end, you may have seen in the support discord?
Yeah, saw your post on Discord. Glad you figured out your flipbook issue. Here is the solution posted on Discord for any future readers:

I just prefer focusing on one issue at a time, so as long as I know your priorities I can find solutions when time permits.
