Note: Wait! Stop! Before you copy this actor's definition into your mod, remember the following things: You do NOT need to copy that actor, since it is already defined. In fact, it's not just useless, it will cause problems. If you want to modify it, or use a modified version, using inheritance is the way to go. The actor definitions here are put on the wiki for reference purpose only. Learn from them, don't copy them.

Classes: Inventory→Armor→BasicArmorBonus
 →ArmorBonus

BasicArmorBonus are armor items that add points to the player's current armor. The base class BasicArmorBonus is never used directly. It is always the base class for predefined items (like Doom's armor bonus) or for items defined in DECORATE.

The purpose of this class is to increase the player's current armor. To do this, upon being picked up, BasicArmorBonus finds an instance of the BasicArmor class in the player's inventory and increases its amount, without modifying any other values (such as savePercent, icon or others) that determine the actual effectiveness of the armor. In practical terms, this means that BasicArmorBonus adds to existing armor without modifying it, and doesn't give any armor on its own. The only exception is when the player doesn't have any armor yet: only in this case will BasicArmorBonus utilize its own SavePercent value and "give" the player some armor.

BasicArmorBonus sets the INVENTORY.ALWAYSPICKUP flag by default, but it can be unset, so that your armor bonuses don't get picked up if the player already has the maximum aount of armor.

BasicArmorBonus also uses the INVENTORY.AUTOACTIVATE flag, bcause its main behavior is tied to its Use override. Unsetting this flag will let the bonuses be placed in the player's inventory so that they can be used manually later.

Using in DECORATE and ZScript

BasicArmorBonus uses the basic Inventory properties to define their behavior as inventory items. They also define a few new properties to define their behavior as armor.

• Armor.SavePercent percentage

The percentage of dealt damage that the armor absorbs.

Percentage is specified as a floating point value between 0.0 and 100.0 which is converted internally to a floating point value between 0.0 and 1.0

• Armor.MaxSaveAmount amount

Sets the maximum amount of armor you can reach by picking up this item.

• Armor.SaveAmount amount

The amount of armor that this item gives.

• Armor.MaxBonus amount

The amount of armor you obtain additionally to your save amount value.

• Armor.MaxBonusMax amount

The maximum additional save amount you can obtain with the armor.
