Tool Efficiant Evasion HP Calculator

[Tyman2007]

I was bored and thought i would make a calculator which guesses a UNIT'S amount of hp it takes w/ evasion.

This was made using chocobo's formula

a = b*(100/(100-c))*(1+(d*e))

a = Effective Hp
b = Base Hp
c = Evasion Percentage
d = Armor
e = Armor Multiplier

I'm not sure what the true purpose of it is. Someone who wants to use this kindof thing i guess.. If you aren't too smart you can show it off like you would be some expert mathematician.

However, there is a small detail about armor types. soo.. it won't be very accurate unless the unit that's attacking you has a chaos attack.

Spoiler

This was made using VB6.

Really... i expect like a couple of people saying "WHATS THE POINT IN THIS" or "What's armor multiplier".

Remember! i only made the program, not the formula.

I will update this tomorrow.... maybe.... w/ a lot more features.

hmm, cant you add an extra feild for the armor type reduction?

so the equation would be like

a = (b*(100/(100-c))*(1+(d*e)))*(1+(1-(.01*f)))
Where F = the amount reduced for the armor vs the attack type?

but that would reqire the end user to know the % reduction the armor type has versus attacks

more in depth : this works only for melee attack types (casted types won't work unless you change the "Evasion %" to "Spell Block %") that are NOT Area of Effects (as you will take 50% of incoming damage from that).

Base HP : basic hit points of unit (usually max hp but you can put a certain amount of hp, for instance you want to know how many damage it must take to die from a certain point)

Evasion % : a more in depth can be found in the tutorial

Armor : the basic armor of the unit

Armor * : Armor multiplier (in decimals like "0.10" for 10%) but currently you would like to leave it as 0.06


A unit with 100% evasion has an infinite amount of hit points (as said, it won't apply against Area of Effect attacks).

Example : based on 1000 hp unit
- 1000 hp unit, 0% evasion, 1 armor and 6% armor multiplier results in 1060 hp
- 50 armor unit has 75% armor (given from the formula (armor*multiplier)/(armor*multiplier+1) -> Results in having to take triple damage from a same attack = 4000 hp effective hp (3000+1000)
- 100 armor unit has 85.714...% armor (which is 6/7) -> results in having to take 6x more damage, a total of 7000 hp (6000+1000)
- 50% evasion : avoid 1/2 hits -> needs take 2 hits for 1 hit -> doubled hp (2000 eff hp)
- 75% evasion : avoid 3/4 hits -> needs take 4 hits for 1 hit -> quad hp (4000 eff hp)
- 90% evasion : avoid 9/10 hits -> needs take 10 hits for 1 hit -> hp x10 (10000 eff hp)

Currently you can "guess" how many HP a unit can have only with evasion (for instance 1000 hp) :
- take the value in Worldedit (usually in decimals, like 10% is written 0.10)
- multiply it by 100 (here it will do 0.10x100 = 10.0)
- put as nominator the number you got and add a denominator of 100 (here it does 10/100)
- simplify the fraction you got (here it does 1/10)
- it means you need take "10" hits to cancel "1" hit
- 10-1 = 9 so you divide your current hit points by 9
- you multiply it by "10"
- you have your eff hp from evasion.
(here how it came : 0.10x100 -> 10/100 -> 1/10 -> 10-1=9 so 1000/9 ~111.11 -> 10 so ~111.11*100 ~ 1111.111111 -> this number is your eff hp).

An another example (using 1000 hp and 20% evasion) :
- 0.20 in WE
- 0.20*100 = 20.0
- nominator/denominator : 20.0/100
- simplify : 1/5
- it means you need take "5" hits to cancel "1" hit
- 5-1 = 4 so you divide your current hit points by 4 : 1000/4 = 250
- you multiply it by "5" : 250*5 = 1250
- you have your eff hp from evasion : 1250 HP

for armor, the fastest thing you can do is : armor*multiplier*hp = eff hp

It is spelled 'efficient'.

 

[Tyman2007]

idc how it's spelled really...

Thanks for clearing any confusion chocobo.

@Tyman

Spelling mistakes in the topic I don't mind, but at least fix it in the program. People lose faith in programs that aren't polished (correct spelling being a part of it).
