I figured it out, I just added the onDie in the monster class of the base trooper class so all different variations of the skeleton trooper model now drop a skeleton corpse on the spot where they perish

onDie = function(self)
spawn("dm_floordeco_corpse", self.go.level, self.go.x, self.go.y, self.go.facing, self.go.elevation)
end,

hello,

is that possible to make a weapon that can gains xp by killing monsters, and then increase its attackdamage (permanently) on a certain amount of xp gained?

yes

[Pompidom]

An easy method would by an onHit counter where the weapon transitions to a +1/+2/+3/+... version after x amount of successful hits, no idea how to do it properly where the weapon gains experience like a real champion though. I'd love to implement this in my mod as well.

hello,

is that possible to make a weapon that can gains xp by killing monsters, and then increase its attackdamage (permanently) on a certain amount of xp gained?

MeleeAttackComponent.onPostAttack(self, champion, slot)
only called when you attack an empty tile (?)

ItemActionComponent.onAttack(self, champion, slot, chainIndex)
MeleeAttackComponent.onHitMonster(self, monster, tside, damage, champion)

add two counter components to the weapon:
a) for storing the weapon slot during onAttack()
b) for storing the weapon's xp

How much exp should the weapon gain?
- same amount of xp the champion gains (only when monster dies)
- amount that depends on the damage done, and the monster's exp (every time monster takes damage, even if it doesn't die)

[bongobeat]

Thank you for your answers

I omit something: is this possible as well for any kind of item, like an armor, etc... ?

I have in mind the legendary item (particularly armor) that are in might and magic X, and gain xp (well I don't remember if it was by killing directly monsters or anything else), and can be upgraded a few times.

Depends on what exactly you want to do.

Armor gains xp every time the champion gains xp?
Then I'd attach a timer to the party.
The timer runs once every frame.
It checks if any champions have gained xp.
If so, the timer distributes the xp gain among the weapons / armor the champion is wearing / wielding.

[bongobeat]

yes, stats of the weapon or armor have to changes higher when gaining xp from any monster

[Zo Kath Ra]

yes, stats of the weapon or armor have to changes higher when gaining xp from any monster

Only xp gains from killing monsters?
(but not from finding secrets or treasures)

In an objects definition how would I go about making it a one time animation and give it a delay before it does its activation on its target?

Here is my objects definition, I just have it set as a lever for now. I need it to animate just once and then activate its selected target (after a delay of about 3 seconds).
