Attacking creature or player

Parameters:

• Creator: attacker
• Integer 0: hit result (hit, miss, critical etc')
• Integer 1: effect Id
• Object 0: attacker
• Object 1: target
• Location 0: position
• Location 1: orientation

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

// insert event-handling code here

break;
}

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').

Example

case EVENT_TYPE_ATTACK_IMPACT:
{
    // decompose the attack impact event
    int nEffectId = GetEventInteger(ev, 1);   // effect Id
    object oAttacker = GetEventObject(ev, 0); // attacker
 
    // decompose the impact effect
    effect eImpact = GetAttackImpactDamageEffect(oAttacker, nEffectId);
    object oWeapon = GetEffectObject(eImpact, 0);
    int nAbility = GetEffectInteger(eImpact, 1);
    float fDamage = GetEffectFloat(eImpact, 0);
    int nVfx = GetEffectInteger(eImpact, 0);
    int nDamageType = GetEffectInteger(eImpact, 2);
 
    int nAppearance = GetAppearanceType(oAttacker);
 
    break;
