Hi everybody
In the properties for the Player Start Position there are two fields to obviously influence the player health regeneration.
One is named "Regeneration Rate", the other "Regeneration Speed".
Whatever I am trying to change in these two fields it seems to have no effect on the regeneration for the player health but setting it to zero, which in fact stops any regeneration. All other combinations of values for reg-rate or reg-speed let the regeneration process start after the value set in Regeneration Delay but within 2 or 3 seconds the health value of 100 is always reached way too fast no matter which values I set in those fields.
Does someone please have an idea how this works or is it just a bug? Thanks.

I got pretty confused playing with these settings a while back .
Load up and try big escape ( unless its changed ) the heath regenerates in seconds and you can see how the settings have been worked out .

1. Regeneration Rate = How much X health will be regenerated
2. Regeneration Speed = After how many (milli)seconds you get X added to your health
3. Regeneration Delay = After how many (milli)seconds should the regeneration begin

For example
1. input 1
2. input 1000
3. input 5000
means..

When you have taken damage the regeneration proces starts after (3.) 5000 milliseconds (equals 5 seconds)
Then the regeneration will be (1.) 1 Health per (2.) 1000 milliseconds.. meaning.. 1 healthpoint per second.

Hopefully this makes sense

From what he's saying in the opening post, i think he actually knows all that, but he's reporting that changing the numbers doesn't do anything except turn it on or off.

I've been working on a possible improvement for this. Think there is room for better control over how the player auto-heals or does not.

Possibly.. but for me this works.. as intended.

Maybe it has got something to do with the (milli)seconds..
if you put 1 or 2 for speed thinking its in seconds.. it's a very speedy regen.. and the difference between 1 or 2 in milliseconds is nothing.

For me unless you got the recipe right it doesn't seem to work ...
One seems to throw the other right out so that's why I suggested big escape for an example.

Morning Mountain Stroll also has an example of the settings as well. My difficulty at first was discerning between rate and speed. Seemed those two are the same. However, that might be a Queen's English issue . :SMILE:

Regeneration

Rate = 25 Sets the value at which the players health will restore.
Speed = 100 Sets the speed in milliseconds at which the players health will regenere
Delay = 3000 Sets the delay in milliseconds after last damage hit before health stats regenerate

FYI: 1000 milliseconds is 1 second.

The rate is the health value. Let's say it starts at the default value of 100.

When the value hits 25 it will start regenerating after 3000 milliseconds and after the last time player got hit. That is a 3 seconds. It can be adjusted as a shorter time or longer.

The speed is how fast it will regenerate. In the example that is 300 milliseconds or 1/3 of a second. I'm assuming it increases one digit at a time; or it might wait until it actually is larger than the 300 ms and regenerate all at once to 100. I think that is probably how it works and if the player gets hit it will start from the beginning. I'm not sure how that part works.

Hope this helps

Thank you all for the discussion and help. Yes, it's like synchromesh and Anubis said, I know that but it doesn't do anything just regenerates health within say 2 seconds or so back to 100 whatever I am trying. I am at work now but will test your suggestions this afternoon with big escape and alike and will keep you updated on this.

BTW: Sorry for the question, it seems that I don't understand how the quoting function works in this forum. At least I can't find "quote"-buttons on the posts.

Found the "quote" button in the Post Reply. Somehow strange, I expected it on the posts itself. Anyway sorry again

OK, so it's working fine now indeed. Why it didn't do it earlier stays probably the secret of my computer or maybe some crossing problem between GG and some other software in my PC
Anyway, I found the following settings are working pretty well for me as I want the regeneration to be a bit more challenging:
Health 200
Reg.Rate 5
Reg.Speed 1000
Reg.Delay 5000

Thanks again for your help.

Glad it's working for you now. Hope you understand the mechanics of values. Those numbers should be quite challenging.
