/************************ [Dragon Wing Buffet] ********************************* Filename: J_AI_WingBuffet ************************* [Dragon Wing Buffet] ********************************* "The dragon will launch into the air, knockdown all opponents who fail a Reflex Save and then land on one of those opponents doing damage up to a maximum of the Dragons HD + 10." This is modified by Jasperre for use by Dragons in the AI. Instead of crashing, using effect appear, disspear, it just uses effect appear. ************************* [History] ******************************************** Version 1.3 changes - Made the "action attack" work better, getting the nearest seen and heard instead of the nearest (which may not be seen or heard). - Added in random damage for each target! - Faction Equal as well as GetIsFriend check. ************************* [Workings] ******************************************* Executed via. ExecuteScript from the AI file, it is seperate because it is almost a new AI ability. ************************* [Arguments] ****************************************** Arguments: N/A ************************* [Dragon Wing Buffet] ********************************/ void main() { //Declare major variables ClearAllActions();// To rid errors. effect eKnockDown = EffectKnockdown(); int nDamage; int nDC = GetHitDice(OBJECT_SELF); effect eDam; effect eVis = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_PULSE_WIND); // Use a delay based on range, float fDelay; location lSelf = GetLocation(OBJECT_SELF); string sMessage = GetName(OBJECT_SELF) + " is using its wing buffet against you!"; location lTarget; float fRandomKnockdown; // Pulse of wind applied...
