More elegant way to constantly update player health algorithms.
Building a RPG game and the players health is dynamic and is calculated by combining the players base health with their stamina. The player can use a buff to increase his stamina throughout the game and therefore increasing the players total hit points and ultimately requiring the health to update.
Currently right now I am calling a function repeatedly in Update as shown;
void Update() {
characterHealthBar.value = characterHealth;
characterManaBar.value = characterMana;
// Control Max Health
if (characterHealthBar.value >= characterMaxHealth) {
characterHealth = characterMaxHealth;
}
CalculateCharacterMaxHealth (baseCharacterHealth, characterStamina);
}
This calls the following;
public void CalculateCharacterMaxHealth(float _baseCharacterHealth, float _CharacterStamina) {
characterMaxHealth = _baseCharacterHealth + (_CharacterStamina * 2);
characterHealthBar.maxValue = characterMaxHealth;
}
Is there a better way to achieve this?
You could make characterStamina a Property and call the CalcualteCharacterMaxHealth function in the set function of the porperty.
