A standard attack comes with at-least two standard attributes:

  • TO_HIT ... the (pre defense) to-hit probability
  • HIT_POINTS ... the (pre-armor) damage being delivered
  1. use D100+EVASION to determine if attack hits
  2. use PROTECTION to see how much damage gets through
  3. update LIFE_POINTS

  • actor - (GameActor) initiating the action

interact(self, actor)

Parameters:
  • actor - (GameActor) initiating the interactions
Returns:
Interaction object

GameObjects have a (ACTIONS) list of verbs that can be turned into a list of the GameActions that they enable. GameActors have a (INTERACTIONS) list of verbs that a requesting GameActor can turn into interaction GameActions that can be exchanged with that character.

The interaction object will have an ACTIONS attribute, containing a comma-separated list of the supported interaction verbs (which can be used to instantiate and deliver GameActions).

take_action(self, action, target)
