Ah, This sounds like an attempt to do a random attack skill...but all in one
skill. It sounds brilliant! Especially the different sounds for each damage
type.
You might want to consider restore as well as inflict. Could something like
this be done for effects as well? That would certainly add some serious power
to attacks!
I was thinking of something to do with sounds today and wanted to see what you
think.
Is it possible for items to have pick up and drop sounds play...not via the
take and drop skill, but somehow based on each unique item?
Another thought was this...s it possible to have a sound play based on a
certain item worn when acted against thru a skill.
For instance, If I got a sword and hit a target with chainmail on, then a
chainmail getting hit sound plays. If it is the sword hitting leather, then a
leather hitting sound plays etc and so forth. Maybe that script you mentioned
could work for something like that as well.

Subject: [ian-reeds-games] Potential script flag, related to damage
Hello players,
I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a script flag for
skills, that will pick between a selection of damage/damage types? It
would look something like
random_damage
health|150r200|fire/health|150r200|water/health|150r200|earth/health|150r200|air
And I might also add the capability to have a different sound play,
depending on the damage that is done. This way if fire damage is done
it'll play a flame sound, if air damage is done it'll do wind or
something else, etc.
My original intent was to do a flag that would pick a damage type that
is specified in the unit file and use that whenever the skill is
performed, but I'm not sure if it's currently possible to have
multiple of the same unit have different damage types being
permanently selected.
Not to say this wouldn't be useful. I mean, I can personally see
potential for it if you use an elemental skill that will choose
between any of the elements and do that damage.
Anyway, if enough of you find my random damage flag useful, then I'll
see about making it.
