Simple Jass Math Question ^^

[Dynasti]

Ok i kinda need some math awnsers fast .

The system im making is a system that i like to use called Damage Over Time.

I know there are some systems out there, but i want to make my own.

Ok the simple math is: You are given a real value called "X" and another real value called "Y".

X = Damage

Y = Time

The last value is a constant value. It is a timer value named "Z".

Z = 0.05

What i need to be the end result is a real value "D" that will add up to the Time.

Because every "Z" secconds it will deal "D" amount of damage to the target. In the end when all that damage adds up to the Damage "X" that is given and at the same time "Y" secconds has eclapsed.

So please respond quickly ^^

[RAINBOW]Yes... I know i'm lazy.[/RAINBOW]

Edit: Please, always scroll down to the last comment, stuff may be posted!

 

[xD.Schurke]

i don't understand your prob :F

 

[Dynasti]

i don't understand your prob :F

to bad

 

[xD.Schurke]

you wan't a real value which stores what?

 

[Paladon]

Damage per Z is (X/(Y/Z)). For every Z deal (X/(Y/Z)) damage.

Example:
X (Damage) = 200
Y (Time) = 2 seconds
Z (Timer) = every 1 second.

For every Z (1 second) you deal (200(2/1)) damage.

 

[xD.Schurke]

Damage per Z is ((Y/Z)/X). For every Z deal ((Y/Z)/X damage.

y , but when he's creating a sys, why not just let the user set the damage per interval!!

 

[Dynasti]

Damage per Z is (X/(Y/Z)). For every Z deal (X/(Y/Z)) damage.

Example:
X (Damage) = 200
Y (Time) = 2 seconds
Z (Timer) = every 1 second.

For every Z (1 second) you deal (200(2/1)) damage.

^^ Thx Paladon, going to test it. +rep for understanding xD

Edit: But what about values below 1 and higher than 1. if you Divide a number that is lower that 1 you get a higher number..

 

[Paladon]

I just used the same function today for my Elemental Helix spell..xD
So it was kinda easy^^

 

[The Reborn Devil]

Dmg = x / (Y * (1 / Z))
I think this works.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Add X/Y damage a second, for Y time, every Z seconds ?

 

[Kwah]

But what about values below 1 and higher than 1. if you Divide a number that is lower that 1 you get a higher number..

If/Then/Else. If it's less than one, multiply it.

 

[Dynasti]

Dmg = x / (Y * (1 / Z))
I think this works.

Does the same

 

[Kwah]

Got my post?

 

[Paladon]

I got a math question too ^.^
Maybe someone can help?

Btw, is this solved? Or do i have to take a second look?

 

[Dynasti]

Ok now, i got the math calculation for calculating damage if "X" and "Y" is higher that 1, but now i need three more calculations:

1 - If "X" is lower than 1 and "Y" is higher
2 - If "Y" is lower than 1 and "X" is higher
3 - If "X" and "Y" are lower than 1

Ok, the formula is obvious, and can be presented as d = x * z / y

1. 0.5 damage over 2 seconds, with period 0.05:
x = 0.5
y = 2.0
z = 0.05

0.5 * 0.05 = 0.025;
0.025 / 2 = 0.0125;
d = 0.0125

How we can check it?
n * z = y, where n is count of damage moments.
n = 2 / 0.05 = 40;
40 * 0.0125 = 0.5; what was required to prove.

2. 50 damage over 0.5 seconds, with period 0.02:
x = 50
y = 0.5
z = 0.02

50 * 0.02 = 1;
1 / 0.5 = 2;
d = 2

Check:
n = 0.5 / 0.02 = 25;
25 * 2 = 50; what was required to prove.

3. 0.5 damage over 0.2 seconds, with period 0.01:
x = 0.5
y = 0.2
z = 0.01

0.5 * 0.01 = 0.005;
0.005 / 0.2 = 0.025;
d = 0.025

Check:
n = 0.2 / 0.01 = 20;
20 * 0.025 = 0.5; what was required to prove.

A bit advanced but il try ^^ thx, btw: what is "n"?

Edit: Instead of showing the vaules could you show it in like: x * y / z = d ( or something, just an example )

 

[Shadow Daemon]

n = y / z, where n is count of damage moments.

...aka "how many times you deal d amount of damage to unit".

Edit: but it is clear and better to understand, isn't it?

Yes, but will it work if both values are over 1?

 

[Shadow Daemon]

Heh... Test #4! ^_^

x = 150
y = 15
z = 0.75

d = 150 * 0.75 / 15 = 7.5;
n = 15 / 0.75 = 20;
x = 7.5 * 20 = 150 what was required to prove.

Edit: Or, wait, maybe do you mean Y > 1 and Z > 1?

 

[Dynasti]

Heh... Test #4! ^_^

x = 150
y = 15
z = 0.75

d = 150 * 0.75 / 15 = 7.5;
n = 15 / 0.75 = 20;
x = 7.5 * 20 = 150 what was required to prove.

no, if Z are higher than 1 it would look stupid, because im making DamageOverTime(DOT) so not needed xD

 

[Shadow Daemon]

I don't see the reason, why Z can't be > 1. Well, it's your system, do it as you want to.

There is another tip: Y should be divided by Z without chunks (Y mod Z should be 0), or target will not receive full damage.

 

[-JonNny]

Damage per Z is (X/(Y/Z)). For every Z deal (X/(Y/Z)) damage.

Example:
X (Damage) = 200
Y (Time) = 2 seconds
Z (Timer) = every 1 second.

For every Z (1 second) you deal (200(2/1)) damage.

Im sure Paladon is right , i would do D = X/(Y/Z) too
Y/Z = Times damage is dealt
X / Times damage is dealt = damage for each interval

I think the misunderstandings appear because of paladons lil mistake in his example -> should be "(200/(2/1))"

btw, "d = x * z / y" and "Dmg = x / (Y * (1 / Z))" are exactly the same as above , just remodeled

 

[Paladon]

Im sure Paladon is right , i would do D = X/(Y/Z) too

X / Times damage is dealt = damage for each interval

ups did not notice that^^

 

[HailFireer]

I dont see a point of making Z > or < then 1. Unit will receive dmg every second (if timer is in seconds, witch i sopose it is). If so then Y must not be lesser then 1. Also why would X be lesser then 1. I mean why would it be leser then 100. Its dmg. Whats the point in such a low dmg.

These statments are refearing if your using normal vaules like me.

If your using something other where my 100 is equal tou yours 0.1 (for example), then... well, check previous posts.









Up there^

 

[Need_O2]

D = (Z*X)/Y
paranthesis isnt necessary

wtf this thread is necro posted
+1 Shame to me
