Combat

[Saffire]

You can slash yourself in KoA. You can also slash while sitting and while blind. In events/weapon_combat, change the slash function to:

Code:

def slash(event, player, room)

return unless Combat.balanced? player

weapon = get_weapon(player, :slash)
if weapon.nil?
player.output "You are not wielding a weapon you can slash with."
return
end

if player.prone?
player.output('You must stand up first.')
return
end

if player.blind?
player.output('You are blind and cannot see your target.')
return
end

target = (event.target && room.find(event.target)) || room.find(player.last_target)

if target == player
player.output "You cannot slash yourself."
return
end

if target.nil?
player.output "Who are you trying to attack?"
return
else
return unless Combat.valid_target? player, target
end

player.last_target = target.goid

event.target = target

event[:to_other] = "#{weapon.name} flashes as #{player.name} swings it at #{target.name}."
event[:to_target] = "#{weapon.name} flashes as #{player.name} swings it towards you."
event[:to_player] = "#{weapon.name} flashes as you swing it towards #{target.name}."
event[:attack_weapon] = weapon
event[:blockable] = true

player.balance = false
player.info.in_combat = true
target.info.in_combat = true

room.out_event event

event[:action] = :weapon_hit
event[:combat_action] = :slash
event[:to_other] = "#{player.name} slashes across #{target.name}'s torso with #{weapon.name}."
event[:to_target] = "#{player.name} slashes across your torso with #{weapon.name}."
event[:to_player] = "You slash across #{target.name}'s torso with #{weapon.name}."

Combat.future_event event

end

You can also block while blind. Add this code:

         if player.blind?
            player.output('You are blind and cannot see your target.')
            return
         end

above this line:

Code:

target = (event.target && room.find(event.target)) || room.find(player.last_target)

Martial combat has the same problems. Change the kick and punch functions to:

Code:

def kick(event, player, room)
return unless Combat.balanced? player

if player.prone?
player.output('You must stand up first.')
return
end

if player.blind?
player.output('You are blind and cannot see your target.')
return
end

target = (event.target && room.find(event.target)) || room.find(player.last_target)

if target == player
player.output "You cannot kick yourself."
return
end

if target.nil?
player.output "Who are you trying to attack?"
return
else
return unless Combat.valid_target? player, target
end

player.last_target = target.goid

event.target = target

event[:to_other] = "#{player.name} kicks #{player.pronoun(:possessive)} foot out at #{target.name}."
event[:to_target] = "#{player.name} kicks #{player.pronoun(:possessive)} foot at you."
event[:to_player] = "You balance carefully and kick your foot out towards #{target.name}."
event[:blockable] = true

player.balance = false
player.info.in_combat = true
target.info.in_combat = true

room.out_event event

event[:action] = :martial_hit
event[:combat_action] = :kick
event[:to_other] = "#{player.name} kicks #{target.name} with considerable violence."
event[:to_target] = "#{player.name} kicks you rather violently."
event[:to_player] = "Your kick makes good contact with #{target.name}."

Combat.future_event event
end

Code:

def punch(event, player, room)
return unless Combat.balanced? player

if player.prone?
player.output('You must stand up first.')
return
end

if player.blind?
player.output('You are blind and cannot see your target.')
return
end

target = (event.target && room.find(event.target)) || room.find(player.last_target)

if target == player
player.output "You cannot punch yourself."
return
end

if target.nil?
player.output "Who are you trying to attack?"
return
else
return unless Combat.valid_target? player, target
end

player.last_target = target.goid

event.target = target

event[:to_other] = "#{player.name} swings #{player.pronoun(:possessive)} clenched fist at #{target.name}."
event[:to_target] = "#{player.name} swings #{player.pronoun(:possessive)} fist straight towards your face."
event[:to_player] = "You clench your hand into a fist and swing it at #{target.name}."
event[:blockable] = true

player.balance = false
player.info.in_combat = true
target.info.in_combat = true

room.out_event event

event[:action] = :martial_hit
event[:combat_action] = :punch
event[:to_other] = "#{player.name} punches #{target.name} directly in the face."
event[:to_target] = "You stagger slightly as #{player.name} punches you in the face."
event[:to_player] = "Your fist lands squarely in #{target.name}'s face."

Combat.future_event event
end

And add the following to the simple_dodge function, above this line:

Code:

target = (event.target && room.find(event.target)) || room.find(player.last_target)

Code:

if player.prone?
player.output('You must stand up first.')
return
end

I will add this in for the next (minor) release.
