In CSBuild, the dialog box for modifying generators states that the monster's hitpoints are calculated using this formula:
(HPM ? HPM : LEM) * BHP + random (BHP / 4 + 1)
While I understand the second part, could you please explain to us non-programmers what the first part (HPM ? HPM : LEM) means? I am not familiar with this syntax.
Thanks!

Re: CSBuild question: Monster hitpoints?
You ain't supposed to understand easily! We
programmers like to have our secrets. Otherwise
people would discover that we are not so smart
after all.
That syntax means:
if HPM is non-zero then use HPM else use LEM
In this instance it means if the monster's HitPointMultiplier
is non-zeo use it. Else use the LevelExperienceMultiplier.
