Adding effect to arrows, not the bows - Joe Loop - 12-22-2012 07:12 PM
Is it possible to add extra dmg effects to the ammunition and not the bow it self, i was thinking to make some liquid you could put on your arrows and then let them add fire dmg for example..
[itemdef i_liquid_fire]
name=i am a nice little fire liquid
id=i_jar_honey (or whatever)
bla
bla bla
ON=@create
color=some nice color
ON=@dclick
am i in your backpack?
are you targetiing an arrow or xbolt?
if yes
src.targ.events +e_extra_mega_awesome_liquid_damage
src.targ.name Fire enhanced <src.name>
refresh the targets tooltip here
end the if's
but, if i then add an event like:
[events +e_extra_mega_awesome_liquid_damage]
ON=@damage
src.spelleffect s_explosion 45.0
nothing happens neither if i use on=@hit or on=@damage or whatever, can arrows have no dmg event since the bow does all the damage?
Is there a simple workaround for that?

The trigger for appying damage related special effects is either the @Hit trigger (which is fired on the player/npc causing the damage) and/or the @GetHit trigger (which is fired on the player/npc that is getting hit)... so in that trigger, it might go something like this:
IF (the attacker is using a bow AND the bow is what caused the hit AND the attacker's bow fired a special arrow)
Cause special effect...
To find out if the attacker is holding a bow: FINDLAYER
To find out if they used it to cause the damage: ACTION==Archery
To find out if the arrow is special:
