	I said "Hmm" because since the absorption properties are thematically going to be inherent in the armor's material, I think I want armor size to affect the absorption process.

New page

I'm going to take notes as I develop the Sentinels armour, since I'll hopefully be diving into all sorts of esoteric functions and weird principles and properties. When I'm done, I may format this into a coherent manual on armorcrafting, or I may just get bored and move on to the next project. By the way, feel free to contribute -- you can put in snippits from a log, your own insights or knowledge, or example code. Shared knowledge makes us all better.

[14:49] Arafelis: Ok, hmm. I had thought armor granted resistances applied only to the limb the armor was worn on.
[14:50] Joku: heh no limbs dont have their own resistances
[14:51] Arafelis: So any armor that's supposed to only protect where it's worn is going to need mod_absorb_damage for
every resistance type you want to give it?
[14:51] Joku: you are trying to make a piece of armour resist a damage type only on the limb its worn?
[14:52] Arafelis: Sensibly, yes. It's not a field_effect object.
[14:52] Chaos: armour()->set_type_absorption(([ "heat" : 20, "cold" : -10 ]))
[14:52] Chaos: absorption modifiers vs tyep
[14:52] Joku: hmm interesting didnt know we had that
[14:52] Arafelis: Will that work on the target limb?
[14:52] Chaos: they're in widespread use but people don't know they exist because resistances cause messaging and
these don't
[14:53] Chaos: it modifies the absorption capacity of the armour
[14:53] Arafelis: Ahh, ok.
[14:54] Arafelis: Is the type absorption modifier a percentage or an amount?
[14:54] Chaos: amount
[14:55] Chaos: same numbers as armour absorption ("AC")
[14:55] Arafelis: Yeah. Hmm.
