Damage formula based on equipped armor

[Wisshy]

Hi. I would like to make an ability where the damage is increased if the user has no armor equipped. The damage formula is as follows: if has no armor equipped, the damage would be 110 + a.atk * 2 - b.def * 2.
If the user is using an armor, that damage formula would be 55 + a.atk * 2 - b. def * 2


How could I make it?

By "armor" do you mean specifically chest armor or are helms/accessories also included?

Yeah. All kind of armor included. I'm making a game where the armor is a special kind of item that The actor (or enemy) can have. Like special gems. And this ability I am making is stronger when the user has no equipment.

If that is the case, you can use this formula:

wa = a.equips.any? { |e| e.is_a?(RPG::Armor) }; a.atk * 2 - b.def * 2 + (wa ? 55 : 110)

I am not sure whether or not it fits because VX Ace formula box is very small, but it is not so long so I am quite positive.

That worked perfectly well. Thanks. I could have never had imagine to put something like that.

@Heirukichi You could also do the following to save space:

wa = a.armors.any?; a.atk * 2 - b.def * 2 + (wa ? 55 : 110)

or:

a.atk * 2 - b.def * 2 + (a.armors.any? ? 55 : 110)

Thank you both!
