weapon special

[fuzz579]

OK I am making a faction and I want to know how to make a weapon special thats like attack only (from beem) except you can only attack slowed enemies. how would I do this?

I'm pretty sure this is not possible. The only way I could think of would be to cancel an attack that was about to happen on a non-slowed unit. I've tried something like that, but it hangs the game when the AI tries to use it. When the AI's attack is canceled, it tries again and again....for ever.

However, you can do an attack that gets strikes or damage per strikes multiplied by 2 when attacking a slowed ennemy.

Oh, yeah. As a matter of fact, you could make an attack that does zero damage unless attacking a slowed enemy. That would work, but it still gives the AI a disadvantage, because it would never use that attack. It wouldn't crash the game though, and that's an improvement.
Edit: The damage also wouldn't show up in the damage calculation box, which is a problem.

Minimum damage is 1, minimum CTH however, is 0%.

Solution: [chance_to_hit] [filter_opponent] [filter_wml] [status] slowed=yes

EDIT: er, that has the opposite effect, so throw a [not] in there.
