I'd use the replace skill sound, and if both the sword and staff are
equipped it would play the sound I specify for that possibility, which
would consist of both the sword and the staff.
The replace sound I did mention, eeyup.
You mean different than using a range, like health_restore=55r300?
You should already have access to my apply_effects script, which works
almost exactly like that...

Yes, I am using everyones scripts for some pretty nifty things when
concerning equipping/unequipping. The scripts are just amazing!
In addition, with equipped weapons that piggyback off a unit's skills, there
is a replace sound flag, but I get what you mean I think about the sounds I
was talking about.
As for the effects and restore...For restore it could be for a healing
potion that can do different amounts of healing randomly. Yes, I got an
alchemist in mind, grin.
The effects are simply that.
For a skill involving different elemental powers you could have random
effects.
So A fire effect could involve the fire damage plus anything else, like
leaving burnt ground, or setting the target on fire and melting their
armor...or the cold effect would do cold damage plus leave frozen ground,
freeze the target solid etc and so forth.
So I would guess it could be called random_effects with effects listed with
commas or vertical bars. It wouldn’t really work in conjunction with
the random inflict and/or random restore. Still, It might have merit,
hopefully.
Hope I explained that ight. It sounds so good in my head, ol.

On the effects thing, what exactly do you mean here?
And, what were you thinking with restoration?
The pick up and drop thing, I believe I've already mentioned to Craig.
According to my suggestions file it should have been in the last list
I sent him, but I did end up repeating it in the latest list of stuff
I want to send ...
And as for the different sounds playing while things are equipped...
You can do that for your attacks, though I believe you already knew
that. I briefly mentioned to Craig how cool it would be if there were
a way to combine sounds when multiple items are equipped...for
example, if you have both a staff and a sword equipped, then the game
will play a combo sound that you specify, but only if both items are
equipped at once. Otherwise it'll play only the sword or the staff
sound.
For others attacking you ... it's not yet possible, unfortunately.
Unless there is a way that I cannot think of...
And I can't do it through script, since I would have no idea how to
stop the original attack sound from playing, assuming it's even
possible in the first place. I know how to access the sound that is
played, if any, but I don't think I can directly affect it. Of course,
someone with more knowledge of scripting than I could correct me, if
there is a way, but I don't know of one.
Of course, the downside to such a feature would be long lists of
sounds in the files in question...

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.
