Usage

case EVENT_TYPE_ATTACK_IMPACT:
{
int nHitResult = GetEventInteger(ev, 0); // hit result (hit, miss, critical etc')
int nEffectId = GetEventInteger(ev, 1); // Effect ID
object oAttacker = GetEventObject(ev, 0); // attacker
object oTarget = GetEventObject(ev, 1); // target
location lImpact = GetEventLocation(ev, 0); // position
location lMissile = GetEventLocation(ev, 1); // orientation

effect  eImpactEffect = GetAttackImpactDamageEffect(oAttacker,nEffectId);
object oWeapon = GetEffectObject(eImpactEffect,0);
int nApp = GetAppearanceType(oAttacker);
int nAbility = GetEffectInteger(eImpactEffect,1);
float fDamage = GetEffectFloat(eImpactEffect,0);
int nVfx = GetEffectInteger(eImpactEffect,0);
int nDamageType = GetEffectInteger(eImpactEffect, 2);

An attack has impacted the target. This can be melee (sword hit), ranged (arrow hit) or spell (fireball explodes). Used for applying damage, and handling abilities that function on hit (Berserk etc').
