We need more infos on how to use the dam_flags...

Example:

Quote:[DEFNAME dam_flags]
dam_lightning 00020 //electrical damage (lightning)

Well i found some information about it on a russian forum dedicated to sphere(yeah i had to get a translator lol)

That's what i found about it ;

- Set the Damage on the weapon you plan to use with a specific damage type (i don't know if you can use multiple types, should test it to see if we can do that)

Quote:[ITEMDEF i_test_sword]
NAME=Test Fire Sword
ID=i_radiant_scimitar
DAM= <physical> // do not take this for your dam_type

ON=@Damage
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<------------------ This is where you add the next line for the dam_flags

The way it should look is ;

Quote:ON=@Damage
SRC.DAMAGE <DMGAMOUNT> <DAM_FLAG> <SRC.UID>

Now if you wish to make a way to absorb/prevent this type of damage, simply add it to an event or directly on the character(I prefer Events, easier to manage)

Quote:[EVENTS e_prevent_lightning]

ON=@GetHit
IF (<ARGN2> & <dam_lightning>)
EMOTE absorbed the Element of Lightning
RETURN 1
ENDIF

Now my own question is, is there a workaround to let other type of damage to pass through it? Because right now, that event will completely block all the types of damage, including the physical one because it found the dam_lightning type. I thought about ELSEIF Statements... but i'm sure it ain't the right way to do that.

What i thought would be to do a SRC.DAMAGE for all the types(including physical) and in the event, to give a free pass to the selected type.

Quote:ON=@Damage
SRC.DAMAGE 50 dam_lightning <SRC.UID>
SRC.DAMAGE 50 dam_cold_new <SRC.UID>

then

Quote:IF (<ARGN2> & <dam_lightning>)
EMOTE absorb Lightning!
RETURN 1
ELSEIF (<ARGN2> & <dam_physical>)
do nothing
ELSEIF (<ARGN2> & <dam_cold_new>)
RETURN 1
ENDIF

Just not sure if the other damages will pass.

LAST EDIT:

Quick script error fix ^^
