This is being split into Armor Meter and Armor Points, at Sandbox.Armor Meter and Sandbox.Armor Points.

They can't have duplicate images so I need a new image for at least one of those.

"Duplicate Image" is mainly for two pages having the same image.

Concerns of making the images duplicates between pages...Well, the issue is close enough, so opened.

I'd say the current fits Armor Points better. Maybe find a pic featuring a gauge for Armor Meter?

[up] - Seems good. What game is that?

So, that's 6:0 for, or so. Pretty low atm.

^^ - I guess this is a statement that Sandbox.Armor Meter is ready for launch?

Any info on how the game's armor system works? How does reduce damage?

When you take damage, it removes armor points before removing hit points. I'll have to check on the details of the armor...I know part of how you upgrade your tank increases your max armor but I'm not where I can research it ATM.

[up] - Sounds like Body Armor as Hit Points... I said that that doesn't count, since it's not doing any armor functions except as being a Sub-Trope of Multiple Life Bars...

But if it's gonna be the image, I should probably rethink my stance on that... That it counts just by virtue of it being called a Armor Meter, instead of how it operates mechanically.

That makes sense. This trope is for representation, and mechanics is just interesting context.

Hold on. From what I can read, the difference between Armor Points and Armor Meter is that the former shows a number while the latter shows a gauge, but both indicate the armor's durability. Is that a meaningful enough distinction to split?

Malady (X-Troper)
#14: Nov 13th 2019 at 4:55:33 PM

[up] - Meters are not as precise as numbers. That's the main difference.

We have Hit Points and Life Meter, Mana and Mana Meter (Should split Mana into the concept and MP...)

And now we have these.

... And Representation is not Function. I suppose we could have the Missing Super Trope of Quantified Health of Hit Points and Life Meter... And I guess that's what's being represented by an EKG...

But we're not talking about that right now, and that deserves its own TLP.

Outside of the scope of this.

I started the crowner to split them, on this post, and people agreed with me so... yeah.

You can go back some pages to see my arguments again, if you want.

Reclocking this one. After reading the definition, I'm proposing to move my suggestion to Body Armor as Hit Points, use the Unreal image on the Armor Points sandbox, and leave Armor Meter without a pic until something else comes along. Thoughts?

#16: Nov 25th 2019 at 8:49:32 AM

[up] - Oh, yeah. Totally fine. Not every trope needs a image, especially if it's as easy to imagine as Armor Points and Armor Meter are.


So, this is approval, that Sandbox.Armor Meter and Sandbox.Armor Points are ready for launch?

Or no?

Now that the image issue is sorted, should be fine to launch. [tup]

[up] - Thanks! So, could you move them to Main for me?

Has anything been done with this one?

Other than me agreeing with your suggestions in the clock message... No?

What do you mean?

So, do I do the moves and stuff, as OP, or do you, 'cause you're a mod?

If I'm doing it, I'll handle the page moves by passing it through the Locked Pages thread.

[up] I've put the new pic on Body Armor as Hit Points and tagged it, and I've used the sandboxes to create those two pages and cutlisted the sandboxes...the examples just need to be crosswicked now, but that's nothing to do with us. Locking up.
