Lua Block more hits with a shield

[Przemyslaw1101]

Hey, I was wondering how to change that player can block more than 2 hits with a shield. ( TFS 1.3 )
In creature.cpp i found:

    blockTicks += interval;
    if (blockTicks >= 1000) {
        blockCount = std::min<uint32_t>(blockCount + 1, 2);
        blockTicks = 0;
    }

Is "(blockCount + 1, 2)" equal to numbers that player can block? I changed that to "(blockCount + 1, 2, 3, 4);" and after that I received many errors on compiling.

Help please <3

The role of 2 here is to set a maximum value limit.
std::min picks the minimum value.

std::min<uint32_t>(blockCount + 1, 2);

There are 2 parameters passed into std::min function.
First one is blockCount + 1
Second one is 2

When the first one is greater than the second value, for example, blockCount + 1 = 4 then the larger value will be ignored and 2 used instead.

If you wish to increase the blockCount limit, simply increase nr 2 to a greater limit.
for example if you want to set the max blockCount limit to 5, change 2 to 5

blockCount = std::min<uint32_t>(blockCount + 1, 5);

About formula

blockCount + 1, 2

1 - is number of 'available new blocks' per second
2 - is limit

Increasing 1 increases number of shield blocks player can do every second.
Increasing 2 let players 'collect more blocks', when they are out of fight.

Warning:
Changing number 1000 in:

if (blockTicks >= 1000) {

to 500 will not work. You may expect, it will give '+1 block' every 0.5 sec, but this function (onThink) is executed once a second, so algorithm will not notice it.
