Talk:Mystic Ambit Incant
From DoomWiki.org
I've heard that the Mystic Ambit Incant affects other players nearby in multiplayer in addition to the player using it. As I have no one to play with and not much knowledge of source code, I can't verify this at the moment. Draconio 01:18, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Bugged item?[edit]
Looking at the source code for this, I have to wonder if it works the way it was actually intended to or if there was a misunderstanding in the way it's coded. Namely, short circuit evaluation of if statements; it looks suspiciously like the fighter's effect was supposed to add a point to all four armors and the mage's was supposed to add to both types of mana, but what actually happens is the fighter gives one point of armor while the mage tries to fill blue mana and gives green only if the player's blue amount is full (because as soon as it's succeeded in one of the armor/mana granting effects, that's a true result). It would certainly make those effects (especially the fighter's) more effective than they ended up being. -- ETTiNGRiNDER (talk) 18:21, 28 December 2018 (CST)
