I noticed some strange thing.
I have a pickaxe and axe defined as a weapon. Players can use this weapon as a tool too (by double click on it). When player digs or chops for resource simetimes a message in POL terminal is shown that somebody is using Attack hook on Defender with illegal serial (or something like this).
why a player is attacking?
Attack when using weapon as tool
Moderator: POL Developer
Hate to resurrect a thread a month and a half later just to say that I don't know, but I don't know. Does it happen with something that is normally defined as a weapon? (Like an axe, when used to chop down a tree?) Or just if you're doing so with something that you changed the definition of to be a weapon?
Re: Attack when using weapon as tool
The illegal serial message is given because they are sending an Attack Request Packet for an illegal serial (Not a valid online character etc).
Re: Attack when using weapon as tool
So using (doubleclick) a weapon sends a attack packet too???
Re: Attack when using weapon as tool
Dbl clicking the weapon does not, but after getting target cursor (or before, long as it is after double clicking the weapon), if you double click the ground, or a tree, and so on, it is possible the client sends the attack packet. I can't verify this right now myself, but if I remember right, it can happen that way. If it does, and someone can verify for me, I might be tempted to reinstall UO-Rice and begin a few tests to filter that type of problem out (if it IS possible, the client might just send all 0's as the serial since it's map and static data getting double clicked).
