NWN Snowball Fight

[Neve]

This script uses a custom item. When it's activated, the player may target another player or NPC. If the gloves aren't equipped, they won't do anything. If there's no snowy weather, they won't do anything either (I didn't find a way to check for a particular tileset, this was the closest I could find to enable snowballs in snow area's only...)
There will be a number of checks to see wether the player misses or hits, a reflex save for the target, and finally a strength check to see wether the snowball knocks the target down or not. The targeting mechanism of NWN forces the player to move within an 8 metre radius, so there's no snowball sniping unfortunately... Also, there's no visual snowball because there are simply no a models which could be used for that. Fake spells do cast a white blob at players, but that requires a conjure animation and sounds, which look odd in my opinion...

This part is finished, but there will be gaming elements, e.g. number of headshots, hits, misses, etc. Have fun

Create a custom gauntlet, and give it a tag, I used "SnowGloves".
In your module's OnActivateItem, place the lines

Code: Select all

#include "snowfight"

if(GetTag(GetItemActivated()) == "SnowGloves") CheckReady(GetItemActivator());

Then, create a new file, call it "snowfight", and paste the following code in it :

Code: Select all
