Sorry if there's been an old thread about this but im newer to the forums.

Is there a shield mechanic to nomes?
What does the shield mechanic do and how does it work, (what is it based off of and what are its protective properties)

i just read randomly about "nomes shield" and am wondering if nomes really does provide a shield. i havent been reading every patch note lately excuse me if it was in an old patch

you know that nomes will heal you after you cast a spell (25 % of its manacost)?

well, if you are at 100% HP, it will give you a protective shield instead for the same amount

I think it will protect you from any damage, although i'm not sure about it

I'll use my noobish database skills now and try to find out if it really protects you against any dmg (pls hold the line)

first edit: fixed the "few %" to 25% of manacosts

2nd edit: yeah I'm quite sure about it because of this (state_shield.entity):

<onattackeddamageevent>
<condition test="accumulator le damage_attempted">
<setvalue name="damage_attempted" a="damage_attempted" b="accumulator" op="sub" />
<expire />
<setaccumulator value="0" />
</condition>
<condition test="accumulator gt damage_attempted">
<evaluate a="accumulator" b="damage_attempted" op="sub" />
<setaccumulator value="result" />
<setvalue name="damage_attempted" a="damage_attempted" b="0" op="mult" />
</condition>
</onattackeddamageevent>


which looks like "subtract the value of the shield with the value of the damage and look what happens"

oh, ok awesome.. yea thats what i was wondering, i knew about the healing effect but i didnt know about the shielding mechanic, that if u were 100% hp and casted u were shielded. does this shield stack? say i am 100% and cast a few times does my shield stack, does the shield stick with the last casted spell or last highest casted spell

Nome's state.entity


<applystate name="State_Nomes_Shield" duration="10000" target="source_entity" pushentity="true" />
<setaccumulator entity="stack_entity" value="var0" />

I think so :)

btw: this mechanic was introduced a few patches ago

Nome's state.entity


<applystate name="State_Nomes_Shield" duration="10000" target="source_entity" pushentity="true" />
<setaccumulator entity="stack_entity" value="var0" />I think so :)

stack_entity refers to the entity on the stack. However, the total shield amount does stack for other reasons.

As far as I can tell: the "pushentity=true" line pushes the caster (or, more generally, the entity in the target field; in this case "source_entity" which is the caster) to the top of the stack, so stack_entity in the following line will refer to the caster.
