Weapon Bonus Damage

[Frodie]

I am in the Item Powers and makeing a magical effect that justs gives a damage bonus.
What is the script for giving a bonus to just damage. i.e. a +3 damage bonus to an bow.

Thanks,

And, while we're at Bonus Damages for Weapons...
Should'nt the bonus Damage from Flaming also appear in the damage-line, like:
Melee +2 Flaming Burst Rapier +18/+13/+8 (1d6+6 plus 1d6 fire/15-20/x2)?

Go into the editor, select the help menu, and select "Help On Using the Editor".

In the page that pops up, scroll down until you find the "Reference Information" link and go there. There's an index at the top there, so click on weapons in the index. Looking through what's available to a weapon, you'll see that the wDamBonus field is a modifier to damage only.

Yes it should. I haven't had the chance to implement this (or the related problem of getting special abilities like grab to add text to weapons), but it's on my to-do list.

Ok, still getting errors, here is the script

hero.child[Damage].field[wDamBonus].value += 3

Thank you!

wDamBonus only exists on individual weapons, not on the Damage pick (which is damage bonuses that are applied to all weapons).

From within a script on the weapon, you don't need to transition to the hero, then to the Damage pick, you can just alter the wDamBonus field on that weapon:

field[wDamBonus].value += 3

Item powers go on Magic weapons which are actually a Container that contains the base weapon. So you actually need to modify the Container's value not the item power itself.

User this code instead:

~ We need to alter our parent if we are a magic item
if (container.ishero = 0) then
   container.parent.field[wDamBonus].value += 3
endif
