Post subject:  rune of conversion
i wrote a small conversion function that converts any health over 100 into armor, and any armor over 100 into health in integers of 5 (until they both reach 100).
it is quite simple, and balancing for a rune imo.
Code:
void() k_ConvertHealthArmor =
{
   local float SwapAmount
   if (self.health > 100 && self.armorvalue < 100)
   {
      SwapAmount = self.health - 100;
      if (SwapAmount > 5) SwapAmount = 5;
      self.armorvalue = self.armorvalue + SwapAmount;
      self.health= self.health - SwapAmount;
   }
   if (self.health < 100 && self.armorvalue > 100)
   {
      SwapAmount = self.armorvalue - 100;
      if (SwapAmount > 5) SwapAmount = 5;
      self.health = self.health + SwapAmount;
      self.armorvalue = self.armorvalue - SwapAmount;
   }
};


i don't know. just something fun :)

also, it is called in client.qc as
Code:
   if (self.WaitValue <= time)
   {
      self.WaitValue = time + 1;
      k_ConvertHealthArmor();
   }


so it is only called 1 frame per second.

hmm.
actually i was wondering. maybe instead of this, the rune sets your max health to 200 and converts armor into health until it reaches 200. ;)

and maybe you get 100 health for picking it up?
how bout 100 armor, so it converts it over time?

I don't really want to rain on your parade, but unless the armor protects at 100% (red armor is 80%), it will be detrimental to convert health into armor. It can be possible that the health a player would lose from megahealth rot would be better placed into armor, but not during a fight.

You don't need to worry about calling a rune function in client.qc, RuneQuake has a function for runes that have repeating effect. (Rune_Think in runeserv.qc).

Converting ammo into health may be useful. There's usually tons of ammo in play, so it would definately not be a 1:1 conversion to health, even for cells or rockets.
