!0) One or more points: the points are ordered in ascending order of x-values. If the value-to-test is not higher than the first point's x, the answer-value is the first point's y. If the value-to-test is not lower than the last point's x, the answer-value is the first point's y. Otherwise, we take the two points whose x-values the value-to-test is between, and then the answer-value is between the two points' y-values to the same extent that the value-to-test is between the two points' x-values (a linear interpolation). | !0) One or more points: the points are ordered in ascending order of x-values.

| − | We can ignore the linear interpolation thing, though, because IN PRACTICE: neither Pyromaniac or Gourmand are actually curves. Their randomMentalStateMtbDaysMoodCurves each only have one point | + | We can ignore the linear interpolation thing, though, because IN PRACTICE: neither Pyromaniac or Gourmand are actually curves. Their randomMentalStateMtbDaysMoodCurves each only have one point, <0,50>. Our value-to-test is mood, a value that ranges from 0-1. Following the path laid out by '!0)', our worst-case mood (0 mood), is not higher than the first point's x, since our first point is <0,50>; literally any other mood IS higher... but it is also not lower than the last point's x, since our last point is also <0,50>. Regardless of the pawn's mood, for these traits, the answer-value is the singular point's y-value i.e. 50. |
