[DAMBLOCK:X] as body tag
« on: July 31, 2008, 06:53:29 am »
I just wanted to suggest adding DAMBLOCK to be available to body parts. This would allow us to give things shells, but soft underbellies, thereby allowing unarmoured parts on creatures, which the current DAMBLOCK for creatures does not allow.

Hm this is a quite good idea actually. This would be especially awesome, if adverturers could "aim" at specific bodyparts.
Hm I think theres a game like that with this bodypart / hit system, I just dont remember which game is it.  ::)

It needs to be on the creature, not the body, though I'm not sure whether you wanted it in the creature's definition or in the body file.

I think it would be useful as something like [DAMBLOCK_TOKEN:UB:2] where it's [DAMBLOCK_TOKEN:body token:amount of damblock].

I was just thinking of suggesting this the other day.

I think this idea has a lot of merit. Tons of modding possibilities!
