Need help for weapon asset...

[Pandafox]

I tried to find a solution by myself but I can't find...

I'm making a special sword asset but I have a problem.
I would like this sword only can hit one special monster.
For exemple, if you try to use this sword to fight a snail or a skeleton or another "normal" monster, you can't hurt it. (0 or miss)
But there is a monster (a monster asset I made) who can't be hurt by anything but this sword !
Is it possible ?

thanks

and Happy new year !

Nobody?
Not possible to do?

offhand I would guess that it's possible, maybe using a combination of monster onDamage and party onUseItem or onAttack or item onUseItem

Hi, it's definitely possible. Check what I posted here concerning weapons that can only hit certain monsters, this was to create a "vorpal blade" type of effect: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4451#p46316.

For what you ask, you can copy the script and simply set:

Code: Select all

spectralWeaponsHitNormalMonsters = false
spectralMonsters = {
   "your_monster_name",
   }
spectralWeapons = {
   "your_weapon_name",
   }

And it should work, the "your_weapon_name" will only hit "your_monster_name" and nothing else (because of spectralWeaponsHitNormalMonsters = false) and "your_monster_name" won't be hit by anything else.

You need to have the framework installed, though.

Ignore the spell part of it, it's old code and I have to update it.

thanks Diarmuid !

It seems to be not so easy... because I don't know what you talk about "framework"...
But I will check it when I will have some free time to understand

Hi, I mean to install jKos library: https://sites.google.com/site/jkosgrimrock2/home.

It's not really hard to do, just unzip the file in mod_assets and copy one script to a script entity.
