Actions Bar - Question

Krixus

I am trying to set up an AP bar for Phase-based combat. It's mostly working but I have one issue. Let's say I have 5/10 AP remaining and I hover over an ability on the shortcut bar that costs 10 AP. I've made it so that the AP bar will blink showing the preview value.

My issue is that currently the blink value will show -5 AP which just doesn't look right. I need to be able to display something like the "0 text" option, but have it be for invalid use costs. So instead of display -5 AP, it would show something like "Not Enough AP". Something like that is needed, it's too odd to display negative AP.

I'll look into it.

I have found what I believe to be a bug regarding the preview value for APT.

This is triggered from the shortcut bar (downloaded from tutorial guides). The ability I am using costs 10 Actions (phase-based combat), all combatants start with 10 Actions/AP.

I hover over the ability on the shortcut bar, my AP HUD which displays the current amount of actions, with a preview value of origin blinks between 10 and 0. I then use the ability and without moving the cursor off from the ability, the preview will then blink from 0 to -20.

If I move the cursor off the ability and then hover it back, then it will blink from 0 to -10.

So the -20 is definitely a bug but ideally it should just stay at 0 even if it blinks between a preview value as negatives AP gets confusing. While I know you are addressing that, blinking from 0 to -20 definitely seems like a bug regardless.

I'll check it out.

Thanks, please let me know.

The issue will be fixed in the next update, and there'll be new options for limiting the used value display (between 0 and max actions per turn) and an optional exceeding text (displayed when the used value exceeds the available actions per turn).
