Effect Amount

1. xsEffectAmount effect cMulAttribute and cAddAttribute with attribute cAttack/cArmor

Description: When using xsEffectAmount and cMulAttribute or cAddAttribute to modify cAttack/cArmor, the effect does not change the attack/armour at all

Expected Behaviour: Expected behaviour is demonstrated using the following example:

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Create a new scenario or RMS
  2. Create a new XS script with the following code:

    void main() {
    const int cGenghisKhan = 731;
    const int cPierce = 3;

    // Both of these work correctly as expected
    xsEffectAmount(cSetAttribute, cGenghisKhan, cAttack, cPierce*65536 + 5);
    xsEffectAmount(cSetAttribute, cGenghisKhan, cArmor, cPierce*65536 + 5);

    // These however do not do anything.
    xsEffectAmount(cAddAttribute, cGenghisKhan, cAttack, cPierce*65536 + 5);
    xsEffectAmount(cMulAttribute, cGenghisKhan, cArmor, cPierce*65536 + 5);

    // To make cAddAttribute and cMulAttribute work, we need to currently use the old format:
    // xsEffectAmount(cAddAttribute, cGenghisKhan, cAttack, cPierce*256 + 5);
    // xsEffectAmount(cMulAttribute, cGenghisKhan, cArmor, cPierce*256 + 5);
}
  3. Include the script in the scenario or RMS
  4. When a game is played using the scenario or RMS, The attack and armour of the Genghis Khan unit is unchanged
