New Power ideas for Flare
Thursday, August 2, 2018 - 02:39
I have a few new ideas for powers. I am making my own campaign, could anybody give me help?
The first one is easy - Brute ability to slow enemies down. I did it easily.
Second one is for ranger - Did this fine as well, a shot that knocks enemies back.
The other one - for adept, is to use all mana and convert it into mental damage (200% at level 1, 450% at level 5) with a shot that will instantly kill most non-boss enemies. However, I cannot figure out how to make it deal damage dependent on the player's mana reserves and how to make it empy the player's mana regardless of level. Any help?
Hi, I am also working on a campaign and doing something somewhat similar to yours. What I do is set cooldown to 1, set mana cost to 1 and damage to 1. At least that's what I remember, I haven't touched FLARE in a while unfortunately. Also, ignore enemy armor. This should result in a skill that does damage and drains mana as long as the player holds down the button, but it should happen quickly enough. Sorry if it's not the exact solution, or if I got some details wrong due to being rusty, but I hope the gist of it helps you to find workarounds to make the skills you want.

Is it possible to have a chained attack? Such as when the player shoots a lightning bolt, if it hits an enemy, 4 lightning bolts shoot out, one up, one, down, one left, one right, and this continues until they all hit a wall?
A chained attack like you described would consist of two powers. The first power would be the initial missile. It would have a post_power set to the id of the second power. The second power be just like the first power, execpt these values would be set (and no post_power):
count=4
missile_angle=90
starting_pos=target
