[Solved] Skill script question.

[Nord]

Hi. I am stuck with a question.
I have psi-amp for skills:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_WEAPON_2
    battleType: 9
    ...
    tags:
      IS_SKILL: 1 #mentaland soldier skill, based on that item:

Code: [Select]

  - type: STR_STOP_SKILL
    tags:
      SKILL_ID: 17
    costUse:
      time: 5
    targetMode: 14
    compatibleWeapons: [STR_WEAPON_2]
    checkHandsOnly: falseWhen i use

Code: [Select]

    tryPsiAttackUnit:
      - offset: 15   #Always success for inspiration etc.
        code: |
         ...
            skill.getTag skill_id Tag.SKILL_ID;
         ...i get skill_id=17.
But later, when i use:

Code: [Select]

   
    hitUnit:
      - offset: 7   # for scripted items(Fright, Inspiration)
        code: |
          ...
          skill.getTag skill_id Tag.SKILL_ID;
          ...
i get skill_id=0

Question: WHY?

[Yankes]

This could be bug, skill is not propagated to damage function and because of this, to script

[Nord]

Addition:
Same script hook with shooting or melee weapon works fine. Only psi-amp affected.

[Yankes]

I will look on this today, clearly bug in logic

[Nord]

Another question:

Code: [Select]

BattleGame.randomChancealways returns 0.
(I see it in the physical shield script)
Is something wrong or i should turn something on to power up randomizer?

Thanks.

it's battle_game, not BattleGame

[Nord]

Yes, thanks. It is my mistake when writing this topic.

Found it. There must be a limits defined.
not

Code: [Select]

battle_game.randomChance temp;
but

Code: [Select]

battle_game.randomChance temp 1 100;
Upd.
not

Code: [Select]

randomChance but

Code: [Select]

randomRange.
Still dont understand how to use randomChance.

[Yankes]

`randomChance` expect value in range of 0 to 100 and return 0 or 1
`randomRange` you give some range and you get some random value from this range e.g. 50-100 -> 57

@Nord I looked on code of `hitUnit`and I do not see any thing that could affect it. could you show me working example that have this error?

I'll try to. But you need a whole working mod, i assume. And my internet is... well, i will try.
Here is Skills and Items rules, we are interested in "STR_MENTAL_WEAPON_2" item and "STR_STOP_SKILL" skill.

Later i'll try to upload entire mod.

After returning to this bug, I find that PSI attacks to not use correctly propagate skill, now it should work correctly (OXCE 7.0.19).

Great, thanks!
