Myriad Lite Armor
Armor is never a bad idea if you are in a place where combat is likely.
Unlike many game systems, armor does not make you harder to hit.
Armor deflects kinetic impact damage away from you (armor glancing) or absorbs some or all of the damage on a hit.
Some armor is static, just a simple object like a medieval shield or bulletproof vest.
In science-fiction, armor may be computerized or formed from an electronic field.
Myriad Lite calls armor that requires energy to run "power armor"
Example Armor
Example Armor (Myriad PDF p64, Myriad Special Edition p98)
Archaic Armor Ratings
- Soft leather, heavy cloth
- Hardened leather, thick hide
- Chain mail, dragon hide
- Full plate mail, mithril chain
- Mithril plate mail
Modern Armor Ratings
- Leather jacket
- Bullet-proof vest
- SWAT tactical armor
- Advanced military armor
- Sci-fi powered battle armor
Quick Start
- (required) Wear the Myriad Lite HUD.
- (optional) Wear the hovertext meter
- (optional) Wear armor, which you should see reported in your chat window.
- (optional) Wear a holster
- (optional) Wear a melee or ranged combat weapon
Commands
Myriad Lite accepts a variety of chat commands on channel 5.
/5 <command> will activate that command. Scripters can also send the same commands as a link message. Custom HUDs can be constructed with buttons named each command, and the button will activate the command of the same name
Armor Commands
Armor commands are detailed below in context.
For non-powered armor, simply wear the item and you should see the armor value reported. /5 checkarmor to see what your current armor value is
The following commands let you control power armor:
- /5 armoron to activate power armor.
- /5 armoroff to deactivate power armor and save the battery
- /5 recharge to recharge a power armor battery
Creating Armor
- Save the Armor script below into your inventory.
- Create an object to represent a piece of armor, such as a bracelet or helmet.
- Drag and Drop the Myriad Lite Armor script from inventory into the attachment.
- (optional) Edit the script to adjust:
- (optional) Rating from 1-5
- (optional) Whether or not this is a piece of power armor
- (optional) How much battery life this armor has before recharging
- Attach the armor and adjust the position
- Detach the piece of armor back into inventory again to "save" the default attach point.
- Attach/wear the armor piece when desired.
NOTE: The Myriad Lite HUD should report the armor registering as a change in armor value.
