Ahhhhhhh. Thank you.
Weapon reducing AC - possible?
- Thread starter burn
- Start date
Code:
obj_pid(0)Huh. Then I was right in my assumption all along. But why did he get a -1 then?
Looked the function, it actually doesn't crash the script if argument is 0. Only writes to debug log and returns -1. However it should crash (script, not the game) if you pass non-integer argument.
Because I'm working on grenades.
You could simply give them a +20% chance to hit with the Weapon Accurate perk. That'd save you from having to include a script with the mod.
I know. This is not what I want.
You could also increase their maximum range. I believe it is 15 hexes, which is really quite short and one of the reasons why they are so hard to aim with. Giving them a max range of 30 will let you reap the benefits of increasing your Strength.
@Magnus I think this it's done already in both f2wr and ecco? I agree that limiting the range is strange, though.
I wish there was a possibility to toss a grenade to a specific hex (not necessarily with a crittter present), because sometimes it's what the situation requires. But this is probably not going to happen.

@JimTheDinosaur has managed to bend the engine in mysterious ways before, you should ask him.

I actually have this feature in work for some time. I was fairly confident that it is possible to implement without engine hacking. (basically you create a "door" object that follows cursor)
Here's what I come up with in the end. Any criticism?
Code:
// hs_tohit.ssl
procedure start;
#include ".\headers\DEFINE.H"
#include ".\_sfall37_headers\sfall.h"
#include ".\!pbs_rebalance_sources\_pbs_main\mod.h"
#define usewpn(PID)(obj_pid(critter_inven_obj(attacker, INVEN_TYPE_RIGHT_HAND)) == PID)
#define useammo(PID)(get_weapon_ammo_pid(critter_inven_obj(attacker, INVEN_TYPE_RIGHT_HAND)) == PID)
#define usewpn_dude(PID) (active_hand==0 and (obj_pid(critter_inven_obj(attacker, INVEN_TYPE_LEFT_HAND)) == PID)) or (active_hand==1 and (obj_pid(critter_inven_obj(attacker, INVEN_TYPE_RIGHT_HAND)) == PID))
#define useammo_dude(PID) (active_hand==0 and (get_weapon_ammo_pid(critter_inven_obj(attacker, INVEN_TYPE_LEFT_HAND)) == PID)) or (active_hand==1 and (get_weapon_ammo_pid(critter_inven_obj(attacker, INVEN_TYPE_RIGHT_HAND)) == PID))
procedure start begin
variable tohit;
variable attacker;
variable target;
if not init_hook then begin
tohit := get_sfall_arg;

if (usewpn_dude(PID_MOLOTOV_COCKTAIL) or usewpn_dude(PID_FRAG_GRENADE) or usewpn_dude(PID_PULSE_GRENADE) or usewpn_dude(PID_PLASMA_GRENADE) or usewpn_dude(PID_PBS_HOMEMADE_GRENADE) or usewpn_dude(PID_PBS_M79) or usewpn_dude(PID_PBS_MGL) or (usewpn_dude(PID_ROCKET_LAUNCHER) and useammo_dude(PID_EXPLOSIVE_ROCKET))) then begin
tohit := tohit + get_critter_stat(target, STAT_ac);
end
end else if (usewpn(PID_MOLOTOV_COCKTAIL) or usewpn(PID_FRAG_GRENADE) or usewpn(PID_PULSE_GRENADE) or usewpn(PID_PLASMA_GRENADE) or usewpn(PID_PBS_HOMEMADE_GRENADE) or usewpn(PID_PBS_M79) or usewpn(PID_PBS_MGL) or (usewpn(PID_ROCKET_LAUNCHER) and useammo(PID_EXPLOSIVE_ROCKET))) then begin

end
end
