[edit] Basic Example
getTargetHP() could be used in an attack script to tell you when the target's port HP falls below 50:
if(getTargetHP()<50){ message(getSourceIP(),"Target port now has less than 50 HP remaining."); }
Placing this in the continue event of an attack script would send a message to back to you telling you when their port HP is lower than 50.
[edit] Advanced Example
getTargetHP() could also be used to compare your port's HP to the target's port HP and decide whether or not to continue the attack:
if(getHP()<30 && getTargetHP()>30){ cancelAttack(); message(getSourceIP(),"Attack was cancelled: Your port HP fell quicker than the Target port."); }
Placing this in the continue event of an attack script would automatically cancel the attack if your port's HP falls below 30 and the target's port is still above 30.
