Making a weapon doing structural dmg X% of the time?

[Arisaya]

anyone know of how to allow a weapon to damage projectiles and ships just fine, but prevent it from doing structural damage on 100% of the hits? (Not sure if this is possible at the moment though)

 Try adding this to the weapon:

Code: Select all

		<Events>
			<onDamageArmor>
				(block nil
					(if (eq (objIsShip gSource) nil)
						(setq aDamageHP 0)
					)
				)
			</onDamageArmor>
		</Events>

 …Or at least that’s how I did it. Presumably you could throw some sort of RNG command in there to make the percentage something besides 100%.

EDIT: …D’oh. That works for stations/crates/shipwrecks, probably not for projectiles. Note to self: Coffee before posting next time…

Code: Select all

		<Events>
			<onDamageArmor>
				(block nil
					(if
						(not
							(and 
								(eq (staGetType gSource) nil)
								(eq (objIsShip gSource))
							)
						)
						(setq aDamageHP 0)
					)
				)
			</onDamageArmor>
		</Events>

 …There. That might do the trick.

This is theoretical, but try combining blind7 with <OnDamageArmor>

shotObject should take regular damage, while shipObjects will take regular damage when shields are up (or use <OnDamageShields>, and then whatever is in <OnDamageArmor> when shields are down, while stationObjects will be completely unaffected because stations cannot be blinded and <OnDamageArmor> does not trigger on station hits.
