Hello all

Why does the champ spawn fireburst all the time with this code and not just with the fblong_sword?

defineObject{
name = "party",
class = "Party",
editorIcon = 32,
onAttack = function(champ, fblong_sword)
if party.facing == 0 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x, party.y-1, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 1 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x+1, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 2 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x, party.y+1, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 3 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x-1, party.y, party.facing)
end
end

}

First of all, I would avoid using defineObject with party.. it's one of those cases where I would follow the cloneObject good-practice closely since party is not a trivial object.

That said, the "words" in the function declaration aren't "filters" are just symbolic names given to the parameters.

You have to do something like (not-tested):

The game crashes with no error report when unarmed attack.

if (weapon ~= nil) and (weapon.name == "fblong_sword") then

Great now I can make lots of magical melee weapons that will do melee and magical damage at the same time. And I can make enchantment potions to turn regular melee weapons to magical ones.

The enchantment does not run out though. I wonder how to put in charges if that is possible.

Thx a bunch,

Great now the Ice longsword, Ice warhammer, Ice battleaxe cast frostburst on attack and the magma longsword, battleaxe and warhammer cast fireburst on attack.

Torch casts fireburst on attack as well.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to get your code to work, but nothing happens when I swing 'ice_sabre' in any direction...
I have used this code (yours I think, if I pieced it together correctly): I have pasted this script into init.lua.....
Is there anything I am doing different/incorrect??

You need to replace "fblong_sword" with "ice_sabre" (and you might want to put it in objects.lua for clarity's sake).

I put this into the items folder.

defineObject{
name = "party",
class = "Party",
editorIcon = 32,
onAttack = function(champ, weapon)
if (weapon ~= nil) and (weapon.name == "fblong_sword") then

if party.facing == 0 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x, party.y-1, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 1 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x+1, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 2 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x, party.y+1, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 3 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x-1, party.y, party.facing)
end

end
if (weapon ~= nil) and (weapon.name == "torch") then
if party.facing == 0 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x, party.y-1, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 1 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x+1, party.y, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 2 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x, party.y+1, party.facing)
end
if party.facing == 3 then
spawn("fireburst", party.level, party.x-1, party.y, party.facing)
end

end
end


}

defineObject{
name = "fblong_sword",
class = "Item",
uiName = "Longsword of FireBurst",
model = "assets/models/items/long_sword.fbx",

Oh dear, I can not believe I overlooked changing fblong sword to my weapon (terrible!!!!) ... I think it might be time for some sleep
Thanks for replying guys
