Ok, so youa re talking about two diffrent types of failure. The regular fail
and then a miss which would be like not doing the skill at all.
What I don't understand is how that could be used effectively? Especially for a
computer unit.
There is this infinite loop thing which, if the computer doesn't have to spend
anything to do it, it will keep on doing it forever. I actually did that once
after people told me about it. I was practiceing out some cloaking skills,
and I thought about how the computer would use it. Well, I didn't put any point
in it that would stop it, and it kept cloaking and uncloaking forever. I was
like, "So that's what Carlos meant", lol.
So everything really needs a limit on it of some sort in order to make sure you
don't fall into that trap.
If you want to restore action points to a unit, then take a look at Austen's
kingdom at war maps where the main character can use adrenaline fix, or the
tomb robber map with the main character able to use panic to increase actions
usable, by subtracting from the cost of actions. Again, everything needs a
limit.

Hi al, i can try...
Let's say you had an archer, let's say that they attack, if the attack miss
you would still use the action points that it cost to do the attack but the
target would not take any damage. Now, let's say that archer try to attack
again, let's say this time the attack fails. Again, the target would not take
any damage, but instead of spending the action points that it would cost to do
the attack, no action points would be wasted or any other kind of point that
anyone else me using custom maps. Basically, an attack miss will be a more
penalizing version of an attack fail and maybe you could use an attack miss
probability flag or something like that

Hi Garrett,
I am not sure, but isn't that how things work right now witht he chance

perhaps I should clarify, If the attack misses, it will still take what
ever
skill points or what ever in order to use the skill but the enimy would
not
be hit. If the attack fails, no skill points or anything are used and you
can try your attack again. Basicly, A miss would be a attack fail that
would
take away what ever points your using.

Wouldn't that be kind of pointless, I mean if it didn't cost anything
or had any effect, then what difference would it make? Don't mean to
offend you or anything, just my opinion on it.
