Proc:Damage (Area)
From SlothMUD Wiki
Overview
The damage procedure allows builders to have a random chance of damage to hit all players in an area at a desired interval.
Here is a list of keys that the procedure will use:
| Key | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DAMAGE_FREQUENCY | 60 (seconds) | How often the proc should deal damage, in seconds. The MUD only runs procs every 10 seconds, so it should be a multiple of 10. |
| DAMAGE_CHANCE | 100 (%) | The percentage chance of hitting any player in the area. |
| DAMAGE_DICE | 1 | The number of dice to roll. |
| DAMAGE_DIE_SIZE | 1 | The size of the die to roll. |
| DAMAGE_ADDITIONAL | 0 | A modifier to the die roll to either add or subtract damage. |
| DAMAGE_TYPE | UNDEFINED | The type of damage to apply. This could be a spell id or hit type id. |
| DAMAGE_FLAGS | 0 | Flags to the damage function to modify behavior. Current flags are: 1 = HIT_ETHEREAL - Required if non-spell damage should hit ethereal mobs |
| SAVING_THROW | None | Type of saving throw to apply to the damage. Can be "paralysis", "poison", "petrification", "breath", or "spell". |
| SAVE_ADJUSTMENT | 0 | Adjustment to the saving throw. A positive number makes it easier for the player to save against the damage and a negative number makes it harder. |
| DAMAGE_MOBILES | 0 (False) | Whether the proc should target mobiles that are following players |
| ALLOW_DEATH | 0 (False) | Whether the proc should kill players or leave them at 0 hps. |
| DAMAGE_MESSAGE_ACTOR_0 | No message. | The message that is displayed to players in the area that are hit with damage. Similarly builders can configure DAMAGE_MESSAGE_ACTOR_1 to allow for multiple messages, where one is randomly selected. This can be done all the way up to whatever MAX value the builder would like. |
| DAMAGE_MESSAGE_ROOM_0 | No message. | The message that is displayed to the room when a player in the area is hit with damage. Similarly builders can configure DAMAGE_MESSAGE_ROOM_1 to allow for multiple messages, where one is randomly selected. This can be done all the way up to whatever MAX value the builder would like. |
| MISS_MESSAGE_ACTOR_0 | No message. | The message that is displayed to players in the room when they are missed by the damage. Similarly builders can configure MISS_MESSAGE_ACTOR_1 to allow for multiple messages, where one is randomly selected. This can be done all the way up to whatever MAX value the builder would like. |
| MISS_MESSAGE_ROOM_0 | No message. | The message that is displayed to the room when a player in the room is missed by the damage. Similarly builders can configure MISS_MESSAGE_ROOM_1 to allow for multiple messages, where one is randomly selected. This can be done all the way up to whatever MAX value the builder would like. |
