| Notes for implementing special actions like special attacks, magic or other special actions a player character can perform (emoticons?).
| |
|
| |
|
| ==specials.xml==
| |
| An XML file which maps special action ids to corresponding client-sided effects (particle, sound, sprite animation etc.) and server-sided effects (execute script, inflict damage in an area).
| |
| <specials>
| |
| <action id="1">
| |
| <particlefx>graphics/particles/heal.particle.xml</particlefx>
| |
| <soundfx>sounds/heal.ogg</soundfx>
| |
| <saytext>HEAL!!</saytext>
| |
| <gameeffect
| |
| area="point"
| |
| position-forward="32"
| |
| position-sideways="0"
| |
| effect-type="heal"
| |
| effect-factor="10"
| |
| />
| |
| </action>
| |
| <action id="2">
| |
| <particlefx>graphics/particles/firebolt.particle.xml</particlefx>
| |
| <soundfx>sounds/fire.ogg</soundfx>
| |
| <saytext>FIREBOLT!!</saytext>
| |
| <gameeffect
| |
| area="projectile"
| |
| range="256"
| |
| effect-type="damage"
| |
| effect-element="fire"
| |
| effect-factor="5"
| |
| />
| |
| </action>
| |
| </specials>
| |
|
| |
| ==Protocol:==
| |
| *Client sends '''PGMSG_ATTACK B direction W type''' ("type" is the ID number of the special attack. No number is interpreted as a normal attack)
| |
| *Server checks if the character may perform this special action right now.
| |
| *If yes the server does whatever the special action requires it to do (damage beings in attack zone or whatever)
| |
| *Server sends '''GPMSG_BEING_ATTACK W being id, B direction, W type''' to all clients nearby
| |
| *Clients respond with displaying the corresponding effects

| Hi Crush,
| |
| I can see you change a bit the protocol in here:
| |
| In those, I can see you're making the client send the direction, which remains to be dicussed.
| |
| I can also see that the packets PGMSG_USE_SPECIAL and GPMSG_SPECIAL_STATUS were added.
| |
| So, which modifications will prevail?
| |
| Best regards.
