Defense Formula Stopped Working?

[spookwallyjungle]

Hi, i am trying out this defense formula i’ve found before on this post

Damage Calculation for Attack and Defense

You don’t necessarily need to be good at mathematics to be able to form a good damage calculation though you should know at least some basics. At the very least you should know how to use a calculator and how to plug in variables to test what you come up with. You can even use some references online to help you out in creating a damage formula. There’s no concrete formula or mathematics that you need to follow to create yourself a damage formula – it can be as complicated or as simple as you’d …

Howhever, When i try the same calculation from the post, it should give me 25 Incoming Attack, this is what i have, i remember it was working the last time i used this formula

local baseAtk = 50

local DEF = 50
local ATK = baseAtk/(baseAtk + DEF)
print(ATK)

this gives me 0.5 incoming attack, when it should give me 25?, i am not good at maths but something seems off

what you are doing is 50/100 which does come out to 0.5 what is the end goal you want to achieve?

The correct formula for incorporating a damage dampener based on a defence percentage is:

local damage = baseDamage * (1 - defence / maxDefence)
