Is there anyway of adding Bleed attack to mobs

Is there anyway of adding special attacks like Bleed to mobs using xml? i couldnt find it anywhere in the "How do I" section

yes, it could be done.
It requires a simple mod in the GetWeaponAbility method in basecreature.cs

I've been tied up for the last couple of weeks, but I'll post a mod that will let you do that when I get a chance.

ok, here is what you can do. In basecreature.cs around line 290 change this

CODE

public virtual WeaponAbility GetWeaponAbility()
{
return null;
}

to this

CODE

public virtual WeaponAbility GetWeaponAbility()
{
// ARTEGORDONMOD
// allow creatures special attack ability to be specified by the xmlweaponattachment
XmlWeaponAbility a = (XmlWeaponAbility)XmlAttach.FindAttachment(this, typeof(XmlWeaponAbility));
if (a != null)
{
return a.WeaponAbility;
}
else
{
return null;
}
}

or, you could just add something like the above (replace the 'virtual' with 'override') to your custom creature script if you only wanted to be able to do this for specific mobs.

Then get the XmlWeaponAbility attachment script that I added to the beta_308.zip upcoming releases file.

Then you can add special attacks to a mob by doing something like

orc/ATTACH/xmlweaponability,BleedAttack

Note, the attack name is case sensitive and can be any of

ArmorIgnore
BleedAttack
ConcussionBlow
CrushingBlow
Disarm
Dismount
DoubleStrike
InfectiousStrike
MortalStrike
MovingShot
ParalyzingBlow
ShadowStrike
WhirlwindAttack

which are the special weapon abilities defined in WeaponAbility.cs

Arte you are the man

Have a few errors though . I did dl the XmlWeaponAbility.cs and put in it the XML Spawner folder

[/CODE] - Error: Scripts\Engines\AI\Creature\BaseCreature.cs: CS0246: (line 622, column
3) The type or namespace name 'XmlWeaponAbility' could not be found (are you mi

add this to the beginning of your basecreature.cs

using Server.Engines.XmlSpawner2;
