A Freezing Melee weapon?

[TheKingofSkulls]

I'm a somewhat beginner modder, and currently, I'm trying to create an ice-sword weapon that adds 1 coldness to the target per hit. I've tried using the Deerclop's lua files, but results have either ended up crashing or doing a grand total of nothing.

 

How would one implement an on-hit freeze effect? Any help would be appreciated.

Here is my code of Blue Gem sword, try to re-make your code basing on that (look on "local function onattack_blue")

Nothing so big that needs thanking I just re-made blue staff to word

I hope, it works properly now.
