hi all,

I'm trying to make a custom monster with the skeleton warrior base.
I want to change the melee attack to a range attack (power bolt). I changed monsters.lua with brain=ranged and rangedAttack = "lightning_bolt" but it don't works... I can see the skeleton attack at distance (then the range attack works) but there is no lighting bolt...
What did I forgot please ?

my script into monsters.lua :

defineObject{
name = "skeleton_ghost",
class = "Monster",
model = "mod_assets/models/monsters/skeleton_ghost.fbx",

By the way, I have another question about this monster...
I would like it can be hit by only one special sword (another custom sword I made), is it possible ?
I would like this sword have no effect with other monsters but only with this one.

Sorry to UP this post ...

Is nobody know the answer ?

Lemme compare with my Isgardian. See if it can't help us find the answer.

Code: Select all

onRangedAttack = function(self)
     local dx, dy = getForward(self.facing)
     spawn("improved_frostbolt", self.level, self.x + dx, self.y + dy, self.facing)

That's how mine is coded. I couldn't just use rangedAttack = "Improved_frostbolt",
It might be a similar issue for you. I do not know how much trouble switching a monster's brain will give you.

So give this a try:

Code: Select all

onRangedAttack = function(self)
     local dx, dy = getForward(self.facing)
     spawn("lightning_bolt", self.level, self.x + dx, self.y + dy, self.facing)

thanks for your help, I will try that

The trick is that your skeleton doesn't have a ranged animation defined. Search for the poison bolt spiders thread and you'll find the info there.
