Help - Knockdown script

[John Adams]

Maybe it's late, maybe I've sat here too long this weekend but for the life of me, I cannot remember how to simply knock down an opponent. I'm pretty sure it's just the visual effect of the spell itself, so that part I might get. But what "damage type" would that be to cause this list of effects?

Code: Select all

    --Apply Knockdown
	--Throws target back
	--Stuns target
	--Blurs vision of target
	--Except Epic

I think the throws back is just the visual, but what damage is stun? and I guess we do not have blur vision yet?

I'm also assuming "except epic" would be in the code, but do we need a flag in the script to check?

Thanks for advice.

Hmm well I know epics tend to be affected by these, just for a shorter amount of time and they gain immunity to the effect for awhile after. We probably could hardcode a passive spell to be cast and check for this on calling these effects.

lua:AddControlEffect() - is that what you're looking for?

[Jabantiz]

Stun would be AddControlEffect(). As for knock back there is this opcode "OP_PerformPlayerKnockbackMsg" which we don't handle, for a NPC it is probably a visual state like you said, no clue what blurs vision does to NPC's though

Hopefully blurring them makes them less accurate? HA

Thanks for the response. I'll check it out tomorrow, see if I can get ONE spell scripted.
