Damage percentage counter

Hey! I think some (or one) of you sexy mofos (Insert silly vibe here) should make us a damage percentage counter! I'm not sure if it's been heard of before, so I'll elaborate.
In essence, it would be a live on-screen percentage meter that displays how much damage you have dealt to the monster in correlation to the percentage of damage another player deals.

For example, you've just rushed Septavius and some kid is anchoring by the portal. You manage to get a few hits in with your rogue, and he teleports and spellbombs Septavius. It would tell you that you have "x%" of damage dealt, and the kid has "x%" of damage dealt.


If at all possible, I feel the easiest way this could be done is to have the percentages, in green text, overhead the monster. I'm not sure how it would work on Oryx though, as there would be many players dealing damage, and it would just flood your screen. So for that part you can improvise. Anyways, thanks in advance!

Not a bad idea. I'm curious if it would be accurate. Does anyone know if the damage dealt by other players a clientside effect or does the server actually send to your client the damage numbers when others damage a mob?

I feel like it is bad idea to place large amounts of text on top of a enemy

You could check the owner id of the bullet/projectile, with the main player id from the client
In the projectile collision code just before sending the enemy hit packet

Each game object as a class type assigned to it via the object _type, each object or enemy is loaded from xml data files, xml tags are “<Enemy/>“

You could code a total enemy damage counter in terms of damage dealt to all enemies during each session

mobs have hp stat:-)
