310) FIXED IN 1.03: Health events with health <1

[Solmyr]

Health events with health <1

In character_health_events.txt, Death by Illness (1001 and 1128) have a MTTH modifier for health = 1. However, health is fractional and can be less than 1, and there is no MTTH modifier for that range. Thus characters with health between 0 and 1 are *less* likely to die from illness.

Same thing with events for Illness (1158) and Stress (1159). They have MTTH modifiers for health from 1 to less than 2, but not for health less than 1. So characters with really low health have less chance to get illness or stress.

Richvh might explain it better than I do.

Did some playing with the event files and the console. Changed health for a random character whose health stat I edited, then triggered illness event. Logged MTTH as listed in console. Base MTTH is 960 months, or 28800 days. Here are the results:

Health = 0.4; MTTH is 28800 days (1.0 of Base)
Health = 1.4; MTTH is 2880 days (0.1 of Base)
Health = 2.4; MTTH is 20160 days (0.7 of Base)
Health = 3.4; MTTH is 21600 days (0.75 of Base)
Health = 9.4; MTTH is 28800 days (1.0 of Base)
Health = 10.4; MTTH is 43200 days (1.5 of Base)

All of these values follow the modifiers in the character_health_events.txt files; except for values under 1.0.

Added this to the 1158 event:

modifier = {
			condition = { type = health value = 0 }
			condition = {
				type = not
				value = {
					type = health
					value = 1
				}
			}
			factor = 0.05
		}
	}

and tried the 0.4 Health again. got a MTTH of 1440 or .05 of Base (which is what I made it ).

Next I was curious to see if any characters had Health values under 1.0. Did a search of my savegame using "Health = 0." as the string and came up with *many* results.

In conclusion, this does affect the game as stated by Solmyr. It can be fixed by adding a modifier for number values between 0 and 1. I am curious if there are other events out there affected the same way by stats less than 1.0.

Good catch. I will fix for 1.03. CaBhaal's fix will work just fine.
