Adding an Armor Spike type attack!

[bodrin]

Pretty straight forward ability but having a problem implementing this.

"Your hair grows into sharp quills. When not wearing armor, you may make attacks with your hair as though you were wearing armor spikes"

I've bootstrapped the wArmorSpk tag and entered this code.

Pre Levels : 5000

      ~ If we're disabled, do nothing
      doneif (tagis[Helper.FtDisable] <> 0)

      ~ We get an attack similar to armor spikes
      ~ if we aren't wearing armor
      foreach pick in hero where "EquipType.Armor"
          if (eachpick.field[gIsEquip].value <> 0) then
            ~ Hide our armor spikes
            perform hero.childfound[wArmorSpk].assign[Hide.Weapon]
            endif

Do I have to create a new Armor Spike like weapon as it would appear that the code is having a tough time trying to add the spike attack?

Any thoughts?

You are going to just have to create a new weapon that has all the stats you need for your hair spikes. The built in armor spikes is too tied into the actual custom armor gizmo to be of much use away from it.

The other option is to make 'hair' armor, add that to your character and add armor spikes to it.

That's what I thought.
Hair spike weapons it is.

Also instead of doing a foreach loop to figure out if a person is wearing armor just check the tag on the Hero instead. Always avoid using a foreach unless you have no other choice.
