From OtherSpace: Encyclopedia Galactica
This command is used to apply damage to yourself. Staffers can also use the command to deal damage to another character.
Usage
+damage [<Target>=]<Number>[ <Type>][ to <Hit Location] <Number> is the only required parameter, and must be an integer.
- <Target> is the player that will be damaged. If omitted, the target is yourself.
- <Type> is the damage type of the wound, which affects how much is absorbed by armor and what skills are used to treat the injury.
- <Hit Location> is the area of the body being damaged. This currently has no mechanical effect, but is useful if you wish to keep track of where you've been injured.
Examples:
- Damaging Yourself
+damage 1 [Combat System] You inflict 1 damage on yourself.
- Damaging Somebody Else (Staffer Only)
+damage Vic=1 [Combat System] You inflict 1 damage on Victim.
- Using a Damage Type
+damage 1 Fire [Combat System] You inflict 1 fire damage on yourself.
- Using a Hit Location
+damage 1 to Left Arm [Combat System] You inflict 1 damage to your Left Arm.
- Combining Type and Location
+damage 1 Cutting to Throat [Combat System] You inflict 1 Cutting damage to your Throat.
- Everything at Once
+damage Vic=20 Projectile to Head [Combat System] You inflict 20 Projectile damage to Victim's Head.
Effects
- The specified amount and type of damage will be applied to the character.
- If armor is worn, it will subtract its defense value beforehand.
- Armor is damaged as it blocks hits. Eventually it will break, and need to be repaired before it can be used again.
- A character taking more damage from a single source than their damage threshold will suffer a stacking -1 penalty until they can recover.
- A character who suffers more damage than their health total or who reaches a -6 penalty is incapacitated and can no longer take combat actions.
NOTE: Damage works, but Healing is currently not finished.
