Electric attack and monster

[Lumina]

I would like to make a monster attack having the same effect than the Morning Star (more damage on wet target). I tried to look at volt goat code, but they seems to use a shock attack rather than multiply damage when the target is wet. Any advice ?

In SGlightninggoat.lua, you see this code:

if inst.charged then
	inst.components.combat:DoAttack(inst.sg.statemem.target, nil, nil, "electric")
else
	inst.components.combat:DoAttack(inst.sg.statemem.target)
end

The "electric" part determines the stimuli of the attack. If it is electric, then there will be a certain amount of bonus damage if the target is wet.

Oh, thanks. I'll look at it

Also the shock damage that you see defined in lightninggoat.lua is the damage that you receive when you attack a charged lightninggoat, which is why it is called in OnAttacked. The DoAttack call in SGlightninggoat.lua on the other hand is when the lightninggoat itself attacks.

Ok

The DoAttack does what i want, i'll use it. Thanks for your help and the explanations. I'm still noob with most part of the code

No problem. The more you delve into the code, the more you start to understand.
