Title: tooltip display wrong value?
Post by: Viz on April 10, 2017, 10:48:15 am

So I tweak some effect value for a skill, but for whatever reason the tooltip only displayed like half of the original value.

tooltip

real value

and yes, that's without charge.

Edit : Also, anyone knows what does the PULSE_RATE means in DRAW HEALTH effect?

Hi Viz. Its possible the skill tooltip display is based on "dummy affixes". If you change the main affix but not the dummy, the tooltip display will be wrong.

If the skill has a code-block that starts with EVENT_FOUR (or similar, i cant remember right now) then its surely using a dummy affix for the tooltip.

It is highly possible that this is the issue you are having. If you can post your codes in here (put it in spoiler) that would be most helpful on my part, I can read the game's data better in text form or xml format as they say.

Hmm, idk. Seems fine for me. I read somewhere that HP recharge thingy (I use it on the skill affix) does sometimes mess up the tooltip for unknown reason.

Does the display of the effect change from time to time?  Because my guess is that the tooltip is picking up the affix effects based on how many charges the player has when you mouse-over.  If that is possible, then it will display the effects of either WSP_FLASHOFLIGHT_NOCHARGEHEAL15 or WSP_FLASHOFLIGHT_CHARGEHEAL15 based on your charges...

It's ok.
 
I set the duration to instant and now the heal value shows correctly.  Seems like the game screws up calculation if HP recharge player is set to duration: "x" sec.

I'm glad you have fixed it yourself, sometimes its better to load up the files in GUTS and try to update them by fake editing them. This can be done by changing any paramater then change it back, GUTS will arrange and correct text block alignments automatically.
