I'd like to script behaviour that occurs when an actor is hit by a weapon, but not by a spell. | I'd like to script behaviour that occurs when an actor is hit by a weapon, but not by a spell. | ||
I have noticed that "Begin OnHit" triggers if an actor is hit by a melee weapon, projectile weapon, or a spell. Is there any way of determining what the actor was hit by? -- [[User:Diablerie|Diablerie]] 12:28, 15 April 2006 (EDT) | I have noticed that "Begin OnHit" triggers if an actor is hit by a melee weapon, projectile weapon, or a spell.

--[[User:Mrflippy|Mrflippy]] 12:45, 15 April 2006 (EDT): You might be able to work something up using [[OnMagicEffectHit]]. | |||
:Not a bad idea. I managed to get something working: | |||
<pre> | |||
scriptname WeaponHitScript | |||
short bMagicEffect | |||
begin OnMagicEffectHit | |||
set bMagicEffect to 1 | |||
end | |||
begin OnHit Player | |||
if (bMagicEffect == 0) | |||
<do stuff...> | |||
endif | |||
end | |||
begin GameMode | |||
set bMagicEffect to 0 | |||
end | |||
</pre> | |||
From what I saw, if the actor is hit by a spell, it will trigger both [[OnMagicEffectHit]] and [[OnHit]]. I'm not sure if the block ordering in the script makes any difference, but in my experiments, the ''OnHit'' block always saw the ''bMagicEffect'' variable set in the ''OnMagicEffectHit'' block. Hopefully, the ''GameMode'' block won't cause a performance hit. -- [[User:Diablerie|Diablerie]] 22:11, 15 April 2006 (EDT) | |||
