| [08-18 12:19] | [Cleric] | John: Well, it could COST the mp of the incoming spell... or sp of the attack |
| [08-18 12:19] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: well what if say dragonfire |
| [08-18 12:19] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: or AOE |
| [08-18 12:19] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: or if say it doesnt do physical damage |
| [08-18 12:19] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: like curse |
| [08-18 12:20] | [Cleric] | John: Ah... I was thinking of something like fire shield from D and D. |
| [08-18 12:20] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: overall you reall ydont know what damage is delt til teh spell hits |
| [08-18 12:20] | [Cleric] | John: For a curse, it would do nothing... only DAMAGEj. |
| [08-18 12:20] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: and not every spell or abiliyt does damge |
| [08-18 12:20] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: sadly tehre is no falg to tell you if an ability does damage or not |
| [08-18 12:21] | [Cleric] | John: Really, no DO DAMAGE subroutine? |
| [08-18 12:22] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: there are but no real hooks into it |
| [08-18 12:22] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: just does damage |
| [08-18 12:23] | [Cleric] | John: Ah. |
| [08-18 12:23] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: basically just does a lot of calculations |
| [08-18 12:24] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: then sends final # into the player damage systems |
| [08-18 12:24] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: would haveto be somewhere else stll |
| [08-18 12:24] | [Cleric] | John: Not possible to use THAT # to do damage to attacker... |
| [08-18 12:24] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: as not all damage done would be spell type damage |
| [08-18 12:25] | [Cleric] | Icewolfz: overall it is doabale but would take some digging into core and recoding and ading new hooks somewhere |
