[Repo] Damage Priority

[Nestharus]

A set of rules for system design as more complicated damage detection is getting pretty messy...

Modifiers use priorities of 4 or higher. If you guys come up with other priorities that are important (not map specific), please share and I will add it to this list.

        /*
        *   Global priorities are priorities that are to be run before damage modifiers

        constant integer DAMAGE_PRIORITY_EXECUTION_DAMAGE_MODIFIER_EFFECTS = 1000

        constant integer DAMAGE_PRIORITY_MODIFIER_GLOBAL = DAMAGE_PRIORITY_MODIFIER + DAMAGE_PRIORITY_EXECUTION_DAMAGE_MODIFIER_EFFECTS + 1

        */

        constant integer DAMAGE_PRIORITY_EXECUTION_GLOBAL = DAMAGE_PRIORITY_EXECUTION + DAMAGE_PRIORITY_EXECUTION_DAMAGE_MODIFIER_EFFECTS + 1

What is with "X + 1000 + 1". Was one of those supposed to be an asterick?

 

[Nestharus]

The 1000 should really be DAMAGE_PRIORITY_EXECUTION_DAMAGE_MODIFIER_EFFECTS

The +1000 ensures that the event runs before damage modifiers.
