Editing Combat Actions and Spells

[[File:Recoveries edit10x.png|right|frameless]]
Combat and spell actions require different things to be used by units and there are specific conditions in which units might try to use them.

== Attacking ==

=== Attack Type ===
When units attack the game will figure out what basic combat actions units will perform:

* If units have spells, don't have Silence or Spell Recovery status, and not possessed: They are able to use spells
* If units have a melee attack: They are able to use melee attacks
* If units don't have melee attack: They are able to use ranged attacks

=== Performing Attacks ===

* The game will choose a random attack type. Units can perform up to two different attack types:
** Melee or Spell
** Ranged or Spell
* Spells are only chosen 33.3% of the time why the other attack type (melee or ranged) is chosen 66.6% of the time. If the spell attack type is chosen the game will chose a random spell if the attacking unit has multiple spells they can use.
* If  units use a spell they will then perform a basic attack (melee or ranged), '''spells for combat can not be used if the unit has the [[File:Religion trait cast silence.png|frameless|28x28px]] Silence [[Status Effects|status effect]]'''
* Units have 50% chance to lose 1 nutrition (hunger) after attacking
* Units will be pushed back by recoil if their weapon has any

== Using Combat Actions ==
Combat actions must go through multiple conditions before units area able to them in battle. Except for simpler actions like basic melee and ranged attacks which mostly depend on what item weapons hold (or lack of one).

* [[File:Icon gene attack610x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Offensive Actions:
** If target is not within the units range, they will try to dash toward the target. They will need the [[File:IconSkillDash.png|frameless|28x28px]]Dash [[Creature Traits|trait]] to do this
** If target is within range and unit is able to perform ranged attacks but still isn't able to attack, they will try to backstep, throw a bomb, or throw a torch They will need the [[File:IconSkillBackstep10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Backstep, [[File:IconGrenade10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Bomberman, or [[File:IconPyromaniac10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Pyromaniac trait to do this
* [[File:Icon gene armor110x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Defensive Actions: 
** First, try to deflect the attack. They will need the [[File:IconSkillDeflectProjectile10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Deflect Projectile [[Creature Traits|trait]] to do this
** Second, try to block the attack.  They will need the [[File:IconSkillBlock10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Block trait to do this and the attack will need to be a blockable projectile (arrows, snowballs, rocks, shotgun bullets, bones)
** Third, try to dodge the attack. They will need the [[File:IconSkillDodge.png|frameless|28x28px]]Dodge trait to do this
* If units have the [[File:IconSlow10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Slow trait or [[File:IconRecoveryCombatAction.png|frameless|28x28px]]Combat Action Recovery [[Status Effects|status]] they cannot use advanced combat actions
* The game will check for action specific limitations (see the combat actions table below). This also includes stamina requirements
* If a unit ends up having multiple valid combat actions then the game will choose a random action
* Every combat action has a "Combat Chance" when units try to use them. For all actions this is equal to 20%
** If the "Combat Chance" is successful units spend stamina, get the  [[File:IconRecoveryCombatAction.png|frameless|28x28px]]Combat Action Recovery status, and use the selected combat action
** If it fails then they don't use the selected combat action
* Units can have their "Combat Chance" increased in various ways:
** [[File:WarfareStatFIX.png|frameless|28x28px]]Every 5 warfare gives +1%
** [[File:IconLevels10x2.png|frameless|28x28px]]Being above level 5 gives +10%
** [[File:IconVeteran10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Veteran trait +10%
** [[File:IconAgile10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Agile trait +20%
** [[File:IconBattleReflexes10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Battle Reflexes trait +50%

* ''If you want to read directly from the code see "attackRangeAction()" in the "CombatActionLibrary"''
* The accuracy stat has a strong effect on projectile accuracy. Accuracy for all units is equal to 1 except for Arrows boats which have 4 accuracy
* The game calculates accuracy for each projectile fired. So, if a unit can fire multiple projectiles at once some may end up be more accurate then others
* If a unit has a bigger (size * scale) stat then they can be hit from a closer range

== Using Spells ==
Spells are used when units have spells, aren't possessed, and are allowed to use spells. 

When a unit attacks there is a 33.3% chance that they use a spell (see Attacks section at the top for more info). If there are multiple spells that units can use the game will choose one at random.

Uses a spell:
* The unit will decide a random spell to use from the spells they are able to cast
** [[File:Achievements equipment explorer10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Items can unlock specific spells
** [[File:PawSymbol10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Subspecies traits in talent category unlock spells
** [[File:IconReligionList10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Religion traits unlock spells
** [[File:IconChosenOne10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]The Chosen One [[Traits|trait]] unlocks all spells except silence
* [[File:IconMana10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the unit does not have enough mana to cast the randomly selected spell then the action cancels
* The game will then calculate the spell's chance of success. A unit's spellcasting stat increases the chance of success (spells have a base spellcasting stat of 10, 20, or 30%) 
** [[File:IconIntelligence10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Every 5 intelligence gives +1%
** [[File:IconLevels10x2.png|frameless|28x28px]]Being above level 5 gives +10%
** [[File:IconSpellBoost.png|frameless|28x28px]]Spell Boost [[Status Effects|status effect]] gives +20%
** [[File:IconArcaneReflexes10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]Arcane Reflexes [[Creature Traits|trait]] gives +50%
* [[File:IconBuildings 10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell is meant for buildings and the unit's target isn't a building then the spell fails
* [[File:IconPopulation10x.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell is meant for a creature and the unit's target is a building then the spell fails
* [[File:IconHealth10xEdit.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell has a health ratio and that ratio is equal to or less than the caster's health ratio then the spell fails
* [[File:Icon bow wood.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell has a minimum distance and the caster is closer to the target than that minimum distance then the spell fails
* ''[[File:IconRecoverySpell.png|frameless|28x28px]]If the spell succeeds after this point then it is caster and the caster gets the Spell Recovery [[Status Effects|status effect]]''
