Hello, I have 2 different abilities working the way cloak do (I mean, for the cost), while it's used, it uses energy.

Now my character has an energy regen of 1. Cloak needs to have a cost of 1, so it does -2. And I have that other ability that must have a cost of 1.5, so it does -2.5.

It works fine while I use one at a time, but if I use both, it'll do 1 - 2 -2.5 = -3.5 instead of -2.5.

How can I make the cost be -2.5 only when using them both ?

Thanks again for the help I find here, and especially to DrSuperEvil who's been helping me a lot.

@LucidIguana: Go

How so...?

Buff A grants -1 energy regen Buff B grants -1.5 energy regen

Unit has a permanent buff on it that grants -1 energy regen. This buff is only active if A or B are present (Validators or Behavior Enable/Disable fields)

@Dorkles: Go

I would do it by having a third behavior that checks if the 2 draining behaviors are present (via validators) and adds regen based on that with a create healer effect. Basically another way of doing what SuperEvil suggested

@Bilxor: Go

Why would you need to use an effect when you can do the regen directly through the behavior?

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Uh so in definitive, what must I do...? I'm a bit confused ^'

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Ok, I think I'll go with what Dorkles said, but now I struggle with making the Validator, there's so many types ^^

I want to make a Validator that says "Buff A AND B actives" or 2 validators that say "Buff A active" and "Buff B active"

Sorry for being so bad with the editor...

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I did that, and I said in both validators : "Different from" behavior X (X being A or B)

In the actual behavior I put the 2 validators in deactivate.

But then it doesn't seem to be quite working...

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I'm sorry, I was using the wrong type of validator.. I mistranslated to french, now it works :)

@DrSuperEvil: Go

No wait, it doesn't work... What the heck...?

Well what I want is, whether "Cloak A" is active alone, "Cloak B" is active alone or both are active at the same time, I want the preset behavior that's on the unit (we'll call it C) to be used (and do its -100% energy regen).

Right now :

- when I use Cloak A => C is active, the energy depletion work fine. (In total I have -1.5 energy/s) - when I use Cloak B => C isn't active, the energy depletion is calculated as the sum Cloak B's cost + my basic regen. (In total I have +0.75-1.5 energy/s) - when I A+B => C is active but there's NO energy depletion. (In total I have +0 energy/s (or -0 energy/s).

I used a "Unit's behavior state" validator ("Etat de comportement de l'unité" in french) for both, chose "Cloak" for the first validator, "Detect" for the second and then used "(Base) Activated => Activated", and then I used a combine validator, and put all 3 validator in C in "validator (deactivate).

Basically "Cloak A" gives cloak, and "Cloak B" gives "Detection". I called them Cloak because that's the only toggleable ability I could think of...

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Well when I do that, whenever each or both of the behavior are active, there's no gain or loss of energry, it stays the same until the behavior are all gone. :/
