intercept prog health damage

[Algon]

Is there a way to make it so that when you do something specific it would take off a very small amount of health away.
Example:

Code: Select all

>intercept_prog touch~
  mpechoat $n As you touch the door, a trap triggers and explodes in your face! 

Now this is where I would like to have say 5% or even a specific number of hit points removed...say 10. I am sure this is somewhere in the lessons, but finding little things like this in there can be quite daunting.
Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

>intercept_prog touch~
  mpechoat $n As you touch the door, a trap triggers and explodes in your face! 
  if hitprcnt($n) > 10
     mpmadd $n currhp -10
     mpmset $i percenthp -5

That is both the variants, percentage and hp. You can remove the hp check if you want this trap to actually be able kill instead of just injure. Maybe add an 'if rand' or 'if dex' to vary the damage done with regards to luck/reflexes.

Casamir is all over this one, but I wanted to also add my two cents.

You can also use a trap setting and do this more directly. A trap reset will make the trap visible to those who can detect them and give them an opportunity to disarm it before it harms them. You set these in the resets and need not make an actual trap object.
