Talk:Megaarmor

I've never quite looked into it, but doesn't combat armor only absorb half the damage while it is above 100%?

It looks to me from the source code like armortype == 2 is preserved until it goes to zero. If you have seen differently during gameplay, please let us know!

if (player->armortype)
{
    if (player->armortype == 1)
        saved = damage/3;
    else
        saved = damage/2;

    if (player->armorpoints <= saved)
    {
        // armor is used up
        saved = player->armorpoints;
        player->armortype = 0;
    }
    player->armorpoints -= saved;
    damage -= saved;
}
player->health -= damage; 	// mirror mobj health here for Dave
