[Solved] Limiting a moves usage per round.

you can create a secondary meter. strictly for "helper"

have it be full at start of round .

have the code for adding in an extra meter but its source only

I know FTL created custom bars, so until he responds I'll let you know to look for currentGauge in ControlsScript.cs. There you can follow the breadcrumbs I imagine until FTL writes something up.

Awesome thanks alot!!

This will enabled me to check this off the to do list

In MoveInfo.cs, find the first line, add the second line

public float gaugeRequired;
    public float gaugeLimit;

In MoveEditorWindow.cs, find the first line, add the second line

moveInfo.gaugeRequired = StyledSlider("Gauge Required (%)", moveInfo.gaugeRequired, EditorGUI.indentLevel, 0, 100);
                        moveInfo.gaugeLimit = StyledSlider("Gauge Limit (%)", moveInfo.gaugeLimit, EditorGUI.indentLevel, 0, 100);

In MoveSetScript.cs, we have a few things to change/add.

Find the first function, add the second function

private bool hasEnoughGauge(float gaugeNeeded){
        if (!UFE.config.gameGUI.hasGauge) return true;
        if (controlsScript.myInfo.currentGaugePoints < (controlsScript.myInfo.maxGaugePoints * (gaugeNeeded / 100))) return false;
        return true;
    }

    private bool hasTooMuchGauge(float gaugeLimit){
        if (!UFE.config.gameGUI.hasGauge) return true;
        if ((gaugeLimit > 0 ) && (controlsScript.myInfo.currentGaugePoints >= (controlsScript.myInfo.maxGaugePoints * (gaugeLimit / 100)))) return true;
        return false;
    }

Find this function

public MoveInfo GetNextMove(MoveInfo currentMove){

and replace

return InstantiateMove(move);

with

if (!hasEnoughGauge(move.gaugeRequired) || hasTooMuchGauge(move.gaugeLimit)) continue;
                        return InstantiateMove(move);

This also fixes a bug where move links would execute even when the gauge requirement was not met.

Find this function

public bool ValidateMoveExecution(MoveInfo move) {

Find this line

if (!hasEnoughGauge(move.gaugeRequired)) return false;

and replace with this

if (!hasEnoughGauge(move.gaugeRequired) || hasTooMuchGauge(move.gaugeLimit)) return false;

Find this function

private MoveInfo TestMoveExecution(MoveInfo move, MoveInfo currentMove, ButtonPress[] buttonPress, bool inputUp, bool fromSequence, bool forceExecution) {

same as above, find this line(should be first)

if (!hasEnoughGauge(move.gaugeRequired)) return null;

and replace with this

if (!hasEnoughGauge(move.gaugeRequired) || hasTooMuchGauge(move.gaugeLimit)) return null;

I believe that's everything. Now in the move editor window you should have a new slider called Gauge Limit. I would set your helper to require 50 gauge and cost 50 gauge, with a gauge limit of 0. Have the default Heavy move require and cost 0 gauge, but put a gauge limit of .1(or anything over 0 should probably work).

For the GUI, you could just track total gauge / gauge left, which should give you either 2, 1, or 0, and setup your icons to show depending on the value returned.

Ah, that's why I asked if you were using the gauge for anything else. If that's the case, I would probably go about this another way, but I see King is helping you add another gauge so hopefully that does what you need.

Simple fix i answered in the other thread

Ill find it tonight

That's where I was putting my above line code is when the intro's play but gives the Object reference error when a fight starts.
