Don’t fear, Christian – you’re removed from the one particular person unfamiliar with how laptop software program works. A software program program is actually a big set of specific directions to the pc on the best way to use knowledge. These knowledge is likely to be character fashions, animations, sound results, visible results, environments, lighting, harm tables, expertise tables, loot tables, and so forth and so forth. Most knowledge in laptop reminiscence is erased when the pc is turned off. This contains “invincible” recreation characters – all the things is simply 1s and 0s in reminiscence, and turning all the things off resets all of it to zero. This is the reason most MMOGs and dwell service video games have weekly upkeep intervals, we’re turning off the servers and turning them again on once more with a purpose to filter out any rogue knowledge and beginning over once more.
A personality in a recreation will solely react within the methods it has been programmed to. Now we have so as to add harm results one after the other to a personality – play successful response animation, subtract this a lot well being, deal with demise or dying when well being reaches zero, disable participant enter when enjoying the harm animation, and many others. – to ensure that issues to occur. If we don’t add the hit response, the character may take harm however not show something. If we don’t add the well being subtraction, the character won’t ever die as a result of it’s going to by no means cross the dying situation – well being lower than or equal to zero. If, for instance, the dying examine solely checks well being equal to zero however we by some means scale back well being to adverse numbers, the dying can even get omitted. It is a bug (unintended conduct) and ought to be corrected, both to ensure well being by no means drops beneath zero (e.g. set it to zero if it might go beneath) or enable for the system to deal with adverse well being.
A personality marked as “invincible” could possibly be set by no means to take harm in any respect, wherein case it wouldn’t die or play hit reactions. Within the recreation I’m engaged on, we’ve got two totally different variations – “god” mode the place harm is bypassed fully, and “demigod” mode the place well being can not fall beneath 1 in order that we will nonetheless check all the harm options. A personality marked as god or demigod in my recreation solely bypasses harm and demise dealing with in recreation, it doesn’t cease a non-standard recreation over (e.g. a scripted recreation finish) or different methods of ending the sport (quitting to desktop). I hope this solutions your query!
