Sorry Garrett, I guess I wasn't able to understand what you meant. No hard
feelings, ok?

No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was if you decided to use the
attack and it misses you would still have to pay the cost of that attack.
Versus a fail wouldn't cost you anything and you could try to use the move
again. So think of it this way, in Ian's maps, every time you attack it cost
you three action points. If you attack and the attack Mrs. you still lose three
Action points. But if the attack fails, you don't lose anything and you can try
the attack again
So you still have to obey the rules of whatever action points or whatever
points you're using in your maps for attack and skills, but if it fails you
don't lose any but if it misses you do. I'm out of ideas for how to clarify
this anymore. So if it still confuses anybody, just forget about it

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.
