I am engaged on a recreation the place entities may be affected by ‘statuses’ that may have an impact in response to any entity occasion (lost_life, turn_began…).
I am trying to find good methods of dealing with this type of combo, the place an entity have each statuses:
“On taking harm, heal 1”
“On therapeutic, take 1 harm”
Till now, methods i thinked of are:
- Solely enable computerized responses to direct actions (So a standing will not set off one other):
Not acceptable because it restrict an excessive amount of the sport design. - Concentrate whereas game-designing to not have round interactions:
Not acceptable as I need an open modding interface. - Detect when a loop happens programmatically:
Appears unattainable because the loop can theorically be infinitely massive. - Having a most quantity of nested resolving statuses:
Really my greatest guess.
I searched informations about that on-line, however could not discover extra related info than the foundations of bodily card video games as Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh. These could possibly be helpful, however I did not discovered something about their implementation within the associated videogames.
Are you aware any method to deal with this type of habits ?
Or any useful resource on the topic ?
Thanks.
Edit:
I ought to have mentionned that my recreation is flip primarily based, and statuses are known as sequentially, therefore all taking place in the identical body.
