I made "fist" weapons long ago for wrestling weapons and at that time, I used a type=t_weapon_mace_sharp to get the type to trigger the proper combat triggers. Using t_normal makes it default to punching without any of the @hit and damage calculations from the item itself.

Recently I noticed this creates some "odd" results with my other scripts. First, they think my Fist wrestling weapon is a macefighting weapon when I check for types. Secondly, the effect/sound a swiong makes is if I was holding a mace, not punching.

The question: Do we have any typedefs (or a way to soft code one) that will make the holder punch but will also still look at the weapon in the hand for damage calculationss? Something like a t_weapon_wrestling or t_weapon_generic?

for the sounds you can use
TAG.OVERRIDE.SOUND_HIT Overrides the hit sound for a weapon. Take notice that there is an underscore in this TAG's name.
TAG.OVERRIDE.SOUND_MISS Overrides the miss sound for a weapon. Take notice that there is an underscore in this TAG's name.

So to act as an equipped weapon, the item type of the item in layer1 must be a hardcoded combat type?

Can a dev confirm that for me please. If there is anyway to use a different type, I would prefer it greatly. Using a mace type on a wrestling weapon messes with my scripts checking for weapon type to determine what skill to bonus @equip and it just doesn't seem right... there should be a WEAPON flag or something available out there and it defaults to wrestling sounds unless otherwise noted

If you are using a weapon... you are not wrestling.

I get what he's saying, like a fist based weapon your trying to work with the skill "Wrestling". I would use the tag overrides, thees no default wrestling type weapon as the skill was made for those who dont use weapons.

try this:

Code:

[ITEMDEF i_punchy_weapon]

ID=whatever weapon your using

Name=Punchy Weapon

TYPE=t_weapon_sword

TAG.OVERRIDE.SOUND_HIT={309 330}

TAG.OVERRIDE.SOUND_MISS={568 570}

DAM=0,10

SPEED=80

SKILL=Wrestling

REQSTR=10

TWOHANDS=Y

WEIGHT=4

ON=@CREATE

HITPOINTS={50 60}

Just an example, havn't actually tried it Tongue

why not making a new typedef for wrestling weapon?

Wrestling involves grabbing hold of your opponent and attempting to throw him to the ground and pin him...
Not sure what kind of weapon that would be. That said wrestling in UO should not be called wrestling at all since that is clearly not what happens, it's closer to boxing.

I'm not sure that it is enough to just change the skill associated with a weapon since it will still inflict a slashing/piercing damage type if it is a sword/fencing type.

So as to not tread on Macefighting as a skill the only weapon really that would make sense to me at least to turn into a wrestling weapon would be gloves, gauntlets e.t.c.. which really should not be that difficult to do

Just my 2 cents

Apparently I didn't make this clear, so let me rephrase this answer...

If you are not fighting with a weapon, you are wrestling.

You were clear.. they just seem hell bent, which is why i suggested gloves Tongue

i get what hes talking about and Mordaunt is spot on, Wrestling is an uninteresting skill which scales of the character's STR with the base damage as 0. He wants to give wrestling it's own use by turning it into a melee-capable weapon. I see no harm in that.

The only way to make sense of this, is to make hand-based weapons rather than swords, daggers ect. UO has alot of upsides but some of the skills are dauntingly usless and Wrestling is one of them as a combat skill. (don't deny it, not many GM the skill camping Tongue
