Hi ShaDoOoW. At your project is possible the script whose execution will before each attack, and with support functions GetLastAttackMode() and GetLastAttackType()? Also function to detect if this attack is Sneak Attack if it possible?

[DarkSet]

+1 for detecting if attack is a sneak or death attack. At least at OnHit items tag based scripts. But having separate on attack script is even better, if it will fire even if no physical damage delt, as for OnHit.

[ShaDoOoW]

its doable but it might negatively impact game efficiency, i don't think it is good idea

i mean sure, it is no problem to code something inside the plugin which would change for example if attack is sneak or not, but calling a nwscript script that performs this task and then read some local variables to do it is not very good idea for something that occurs so often

As for me - don't want to change it, just detect if attack is sneak or death. Maybe for efficiency create a script, that fire only in sneak/death attack? For not reading local vars in nwscript to detect it but deal with a fact that atack is a sneak. Like on disarm script, for example.

Also - is there any way to make tag based OnHit work when no physical damage is dealt? I treat it as a bug of nwn, so if it can be fixed globally - it's great.

Here is a real challenge for you. Put a hook in for whenever an AI executes a pathfind call(doesn't need to be able to stop it, just a signal to know it's happening and ideally have it trigger for the AI actually doing it). I've been trying to figure out how to do this for forever, because one of nwns biggest problems is AI can get stuck and when they do they grab the server by the legs and drag it into the deepest pit of hell with lag(only takes like 20-30 ai to get stuck to start causing some lag).

I know it must be possible because nwnx_profiler knows when a pathfind call is executed, but I can't figure out how they did it.

While I understand realism and such, if an AI gets stuck in a damn wall I'd rather them either kill themselves or use a teleport or something more productive then just spamming the same broken pathing.

EDIT = Also be careful using "GetLastAttackTarget" Shadoow, it works fine for AI, but on players it's... Lacking. I think the actual data read for it doesn't update instantly, because I was using that function combined with on hit cast to trigger a save on death attacks and players were basically triggering the save all the time if they just broke lock and attacked. I ended up recoding my own homebrew GetLastAttackTarget using the OnAttack event from Terra with a local object instead.

Someone knows why on immortal creature does not effecting such effects as paralysis or daze?

Hi, another question for you ShaDoOoW, would you be able to cleave (great cleave) implement after the Devastating Critical? since he is required for taking Devast feat.

[Valbor]

Is it possible somehow to apply the effects of Taunt or Wounding at creature from a script?

[Valbor]

Bug: When making a devastating critical hit with melee weapons, message is shown that it was normal critical hit (not devastating!), but with ranged weapons the message everything is fine.

In 70_s3_healkit.nss maybe in there is missing part of the code:

if(nResult >= nDC && GetIsEffectValid(eEffect))
{
