Special Arrows!

[Damien]

Hello, I have wonder about this script a long long time and unfortnately im to newbie to create it myself.

Offcourse i know you guys dont like to handle out scripts, but i would be extremely happy if someone took time and made it for me.
If i could see this Special arrow attack script i would learn alot and i probably would be able to create other scripts like paralyze and so on.

The script is a ''attack script'' ( i think it's called)

It's gonna do that when the arrow (fire arrow in this case) hit its target
the target will have a flamestrike in himself.

but when it doesnt hit, the target shouldn't get a flamestrike in himself :&
the damage of the flamestrike should offcourse be different.
Example if you got 10 archery it could do 4-5 dmg and if ure Grandmaster Archery maybe 40-50 dmg per hit.

I would be extremmmely happy if someone could create it as i said

Please help me!
Sorry for my english.

Code: Select all

Thanks.

You'll have to let the hitscript member of the bow (yes, the bow, not the arrows do the damage) point to a script that does all the wanted effects.

In your itemdesc.cfg put something like this:

Code: Select all

Weapon 0x9960
{
  Name                    firebow
  desc                    firebow
  Speed                   25
  Damage                  4d4+7
  Attribute               Archery
  Projectile              1
  ProjectileType          0xf3f
  ProjectileAnim          0xf42
  ProjectileSound         0x235
  Anim                    0x12
  MissSound               0x239
  HitSound                0x235
  maxhp                   45
  TwoHanded               1
  strrequired             20
  MinDam                  9
  MaxDam                  41
  minrange        1
  maxrange        15
  equipscript             equip
  unequipscript           unequip
  hitscript           firebowhit
  destroyscript           destroy
}

In firebowhit.src you can then do the fireball:

Code: Select all

program firebowhit(attacker, defender, weapon, armor, basedamage, rawdamage)

  if (defender == attacker)
    SendSysMessage (attacker, "No Cheating");
    ApplyRawDamage (attacker, 1000);
    return 0;
  endif

  [...]

  ApplyRawDamage (defender, RandomInt (10) + 10);
  PlaySoundEffect (defender, SFX_SPELL_FLAME_STRIKE);
  PlayObjectCenteredEffect (defender, FX_FLAMESTRIKE, 7, 7);

endprogram

Can't verify if this really works, since I'm at work right now, but hopefully this puts you on the right path

Sup Thanks for helping me!

The firebow is good just that it missed Graphic but i fixed that

But then when i ecompile the firebowhit i get this error:


Compiling: Pol/pkg/systems/combat/firebowhit.src
Token '(' cannot follow token 'SendSysMessage'
Function SendSysMessage() is not defined.

Thanks for help! ;D

Put the following at the top of the hitscript code:

Code: Select all

use uo;

There's a lot more you can/should do in a hitscript, like checking for ReactiveArmor, doing double damage against NPC, doing no damage on fire resistant NPC and so on. The code above was just an example.

For a real hitscript look at pol/pkg/systems/combat/mainHitScript.src for example.

PS:
SFX_SPELL_FLAME_STRIKE = 0x209
FX_FLAMESTRIKE = 0x3709
or put include "include/client"; at the top of the script.
