Line-of-sight PvE
Hey folks,
I've updated the THROW syntax to allow you to throw weapons at a mobile from line-of-sight as a bit of a test run to see how workable it might be within Aetolia. It'll be the only skill for now.
I've put in some simple anti-cheese precautions to begin with:
- Ranged damage is halved from usual.
- Hitting a mob with a ranged attack will increase its search radius.
- Guards will deflect ranged attacks.
- Mobiles that don't chase will deflect ranged attacks.
- Mobiles have the ability to return fire line-of-sight if flagged for it.
- You won't be able to hit mobiles outside of the same area.
- You won't be able to hit mobiles across 'no wander' locations.
- RETURN now only works on weapons with the 'throw' command on probe.
- RETURN ON INVENTORY no longer exists.
If you find anything super cheesy out side of the above, feel free to let me know. I cannot promise it'll stick around, but I don't mind trying something new.
If you want a fun idea on how to use this in the day to day, you could use to bait out berserk mobiles that like to group together.
That's it! Enjoy!
