function pickup_shard() { //syntax: pickup( shardid(0 - 5), count ) //literally just increase the value o_controller.count[ argument[0] + 15 ] += argument[1]; //update bonus shard value o_controller.count[ 20 ] = min( o_controller.count[ 15 ], o_controller.count[ 16 ], o_controller.count[ 17 ], o_controller.count[ 18 ], o_controller.count[ 19 ] ); }

Here's a breakdown of what the pickup_shard function does:

  1. Purpose of the function:
    The function appears to handle the logic for "picking up" a shard in some kind of game or system. Shards are likely represented by IDs ranging from 0 to 5, and the pickup function updates an inventory or counter.

  2. Parameters:
    The function expects a shard identifier (argument[0], assumed to be between 0 and 5) and a count (argument[1], which represents how many shards of this type are being picked up).

  3. Update main shard count:
    The line:

    o_controller.count[argument[0] + 15] += argument[1];
    

    adds the argument[1] value to a specific index in the o_controller.count array. The index is determined by argument[0] + 15. For example, if argument[0] is 0, this updates the value at o_controller.count[15]. If argument[0] is 1, it updates o_controller.count[16], and so on up to o_controller.count[20].

    This mechanism stores the counts for different shard types in positions 15 through 20 in the o_controller.count array.

  4. Update the "bonus shard value":
    The line:

    o_controller.count[20] = min(o_controller.count[15], o_controller.count[16], o_controller.count[17], o_controller.count[18], o_controller.count[19]);
    

    calculates the smallest shard count among the values stored in positions o_controller.count[15] through o_controller.count[19]. It assigns that minimum value to o_controller.count[20]. This suggests the bonus shard value is based on the shard type with the least collected amount.

Summary:

The function:

  1. Updates the count of a specific shard type at o_controller.count[15 + shardID].
  2. Computes the "bonus shard value" as the minimum shard count among all the shard types managed (likely for balancing or bonus allocation purposes).
