Magicshield

[Walkman]

does someone know how much AC and AMC give magicshield on lvl 3?

[Lone]

it simply lasts longer as it goes up through the levels.

[Sable]

it doesnt protect against magic attacks as far as i know. and gives a hidden boost of about 5-5 ac i think... dont quote me on it though as TD may have altered it lol

[Lone]

Magic Shield : It creates a magic shield that protects the caster from any phisical damage
Lv.1 : you can practice from level 31
Lv.2 : you can practice from level 34
Lv.3 : you can practice from level 38


dont think there has ever actually been an AC boost given by it - unless its done without increasing the visible stats on the stat screen. - i could be wrong thou

hence me saying a hidden boost lol.

and if it protects from physical attacks then it needs to add AC

[Lone]

lol its a bit different me thinks :P i was always under the impression it had a calculation to reduce the damage recieved not to avoid it in the way ac does.

theres no possible way 5-5 ac could reduce the amount of damage received in comparison to what magic shield does


anyway in answer to the original questions - as the spell levels up the length of which it lasts increases not the damage received (or the hidden ac boost, if its even there at all :P i think its sable telling porkie pies cos hes bored )

[Sable]

lol AC is not used to avoid DC, thats what agil is ment for....

in the calculation as far as im aware it would work abit like this...


sum1 = maxDC-MinDC
sum2 = random number of sum1
sum3 = sum2+minDC
sum4 = maxAC-MinAC
sum5 = random number of sum4
sum6 = sum5+minAC

sum7 = sum3-sum6
sum8 = sum7+power of spell


i cant say for sure that it is deffo how it works as i have never seen the scripting for it, but i have in the past programmed a few lil games, and it is usually all the same....

damage = att - def

HP = HP - damage


im sure u get the picture lol

[auntsally]

higher ur mc the longer it lasts

[Lone]

think you'll actually find Agility avoids Acc - not dc

AC - Armour Count - Physical Damage
AMC - Armour magic Count - Magic Damage

AC works against DC
AMC works against SC/MC



as for your math - tbh it doesnt make alot of sense = Sum3? doesnt actually seem to have a purpose other than to confuse matters >.< lol let me try and follow it through


Sum 1 - Take a random number from between your low end and high end Stats.
10DC-50DC - we'll use 25DC

Sum 2(no Sum just value) = 25DC

Sum 3(pointless i believe - seems to be randomly added in) = (25DC + 10DC)
Sum 3 = 35DC

Sum 4 = Take a random number from between your low end and high end Stats.
(10AC -50AC) - lets use 25 again.

Sum 5(no Sum just value) = 25AC

Sum 6{pointless i believe - seems to be randomly added in} = (25DC + 10DC)
Sum 6 = 35DC


Sum 7 = (Sum3 - Sum 6)
Sum 7 = 0



I Dont see what exactly you would add anything in sums 3 and 6 from what i can tell they would simply be values rather then sums and would.

lol its totally possible your right - mir is so backwards i wouldnt be surprised if there were random extra calculations in the code all over the place to mess things up - but like you said neither of us have seen the code so neither can be sure :P

***inell so much hassle over magic shield, it helps you get hit less. full stop. lol no ac/amc boosts by the way, hidden or shown
