2 Simple Questions

for the knight look at ai_melee -fight.qc

and T_Damage - weapons.qc

also knight_atk# - knight.qc (i think thats just his basic attack) but after messing around with those. you should be able to figure out how to change his charge attacks too.

Ok, i got it, and it worked, but not how i want it. I got it to do 2 damage, but its still "stacks" i guess you would call it. I want 1 swing to do 2 damage. How would i do that? Correct me if you already answered that and im misunderstanding. Thanks so far ceriux.

New (and unrelated) question:
Where is the stinking function that tells the game if self.health = 0 playerdie();?? Cause i'm trying to add incapacitation so i would need to edit the playerdie to make them only die under new conditions besides health = 0. Unless... there s another way?

[ceriux]

player.qc is where playerdie(); is , but you might want to check out combat.qc for the killed(); function. im also not sure what you mean by stacked. explain a little more.

well the regular knight attack as you may know, does damage as long as he is touching you. So when he swings as long as you are close enough you take damage until the swing is over. so you might end up taking 20 damge, or maybe 10 if you back off. I want 1 swing, 2 damage. Much like the player axe how it always does a set amount of damage i think.

[ceriux]

hmm, is there another monster which does a melee swing like your asking? if not check out the soldiers attack code, im pretty sure it calls a trace like the player. then just change the distance of the trace (id make your own copy of the function and have it called after its edited)

[Ghost_Fang]

do you think it would work if i copied some of the axe attack? wait! what about the dog? I'm gona check and see if the dog does a set amount of damage or its just like the knight's

Also, i want to know where player(); or killed(); is called when health is 0.

EDIT: the dog Does to a set damage, but it looks to me that it is randomized between 10 and 8 (this is just wat i saw from being attacked by it in e1m1). So ill look at its code and edit accordingly.
